FergieRaww: Nope yet to watch YOU. Some movies have realistic tropes even if they are make believe. As with all things entertainment; "art imitates life". Some movies can give you 100% realism. Those his murders was stupid, most especially when his own wife accuses him of such. He doesn't need a private detective trailing his as$ before the feds take his case seriously. I was thinking the movie was hinging on the plot that he's an influential person with government ties given the fact that he's a creator of a top grade military equipment. So maybe his murders are papered down and not looked into cos of that influence but the movie didn't explain that or gave reasons why his murders hardly raise suspicion to local authorities. If you calm down and try to list plot holes of that movie you'd see it's numerous and shït. Na great acting and Ana De Armas just keep that movie relevant. |

Baddestguyp: Umm, to correct your assumption, blockbusters STILL DO win major awards. Joker, Toy Story 4, Soul, Encanto, DUNE, West Side Story are all recent blockbusters with Oscars wins. Also if you're familiar with Hollywood trends you'd know there are certain type of movies that a geared towards awards night and critical acclaim. These movies are counter programmed against blockbusters with little budgetary costs or concerns. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Baddestguyp: I don't necessarily get your point but superhero movies or shows have been winning awards and nominations if it's deserving. Of course superhero movies have some bias from Oscars voters note voting favourably for such films cos of its background. This is a huge reason why a masterpiece movie like The Dark Knight wasn't nominated for Oscar Best Picture that year. Instead it only got the award for best supporting actor. It would have probably won best picture that year. People mainly crying are sentimental No Way Home fans who feels the greatness of the film deserved a major Oscar nomination. Blockbuster superhero films don't always mean weak plot and characters. The Dark Knight, Big Hero Six, Into The Spiderverse, Black Panther, Joker has won major awards despite being a Supes movie. In the TV department, Watchmen has shown what a superhero adaptation can be. Adapting one of the best storyline ever in a bestselling graphic novel, that TV series cleaned up all the Emmy awards it could get it's hands on. That's why I smirk when I see people making stupid comments like DC is shït. And I assure you The Batman will definitely get an Oscar push come next year Oscars. That I can bet. #Superhero_Don't_Always_Mean_Trash. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

abduleez1:of course blockbusters still win major awards .. Although superhero ones rarely win in major categories...only categories like special effects and all those |

abduleez1:no way home doesn't deserve anything...the fans can keep crying Dark Knight and Joker definitely are the sort of Superhero movies that stand out from the normal unserious popcorn superhero movies One of the reasons DC sweep awards over Marvel imo is maturity...DC movies are a more mature take compared to Marvel movies which are more focused on keeping the PG_13 market...while DC movies have a more serious tone, Marvel movies are more light hearted... And yes superheroes don't always mean trash but imo the genre is limited by it's nature... For example my best superhero series is The Boys... It is a satire and also presents a more realistic view of a world where superheroes are accepted in the society... Although imo if they existed they won't be accepted But The Boys actually shows them for what they are...they aren't perfect two good shoes characters...they have many flaws, they have actual goals aside being just stereotypes who exist just to save people |

Emekus92:To me i see this as a "Pity award". With the incredibly good performance he has been pushing out over the years, i mean people of a certain race have gotten an oscar for less. This "Life time achievement" award is nothing to me. |

Baddestguyp: That's why I say Academy voters are bias against supes movies as they go with thinking process like yours. Cos they can't explain how the hell did TDK didn't get Oscar nomination for Best Picture that year when it was very clear it would easily win that year if it was nominated. But slowly the academy is starting to see superhero films can be awards worthy. Most superhero movies don't focus on giving you Masterpiece art piece like other films focus on. The few superhero films that had focused on wholesomeness had delivered greatness. Joker did that. The Batman looks to continue that culture. You can't blame the MCU on focusing on delivering popcorn crowd pleaser movies since the general audience surely want such movies; also their movies are mostly critically well received so I don't see the trash narrative. |

abduleez1:I haven't seen The Batman but I expect it to be nominated for awards... And Marvel movies aren't trash...they are very much enjoyable...they just lack depth... |

oyaskii: Yep the Award is nothing and just a mere consolation prize. It's an honorary award and not a proper Oscar. |

DieRich5:lol, crazy you're asking this ... That's the entire idea of DC...copying Marvel but making theirs more mature and darker... Pretty much almost all DC movies follow this pattern |

Chibudollar:Well you might think the "world has gone mad" but Disney, a billion dollar company which probably has one of the keys to the entertainment kingdom currently, knows what we rake in more money for them and if incorporating LGBT content into thier media does it, they wouldn't hesitate to do that, they are literally even killing two bird with one stone that being, making ridiculous income and satisfying a "woke" world. And This narrative about "they are forcing LGBT content down our throat" doesn't fly with me, cuz you can literally avoid their content. If you are looking for "morally upright content", "Mount Zion ministries" are still in the business of making movies and there are other media conglomerate making movies devoid of LGBT content so you literally have a choice. 5 Likes |

DanielOyaskii:American comics have turned into woke shii...except few like Invincible No one reads American comics anymore...even their stores are dominated by Japanese manga... The movies mostly adapt old ones with changes... Check comic sales...manga tops everything by far...comics aren't even close at all...cos they aren't enjoyable anymore... generic stories plus woke agenda...no one wants to buy a comic to read about feminism or LGBTQ We all watched mount Zion movies years back...tho I doubt they still make them and even if they do...no one watches anymore... 2 Likes |
