Imagine being a 30+ adult and going to the movie theater to watch a superhero film. This is embarrassing.
Yes
Yeah, real men only watch homosexual "dramas". So grown up to watch shit movies about people sitting and talking
I didn't say that, but there's a point where an adult needs to move on. You wouldn't buy one of these as an adult either, no matter how much you enjoyed it as a child.
You ate food as a kid too. Time to give it up.
moronic comparison, I liked lollipops as a child, how many adults do you see walking around with those?
I get it now. You're just mad you can no longer suck on a tiddy like you did as a child.
Quite a bit, actually.
Unless you're talking about those huge, multicolered lollipops not even kids eat these days.
But you're still sucking dicks, gayanon.
I was literally just eating one. Does no one at your job have a candy jar or are you a neet posturing to be seen as a big boy?
I had a sixty year-old fat coworker lady who would eat e-girlpops. She would really sloppily suck on that shit, too. Grossed me the frick out.
sounds like she was giving you a hint, anon
That's why I still fingerpaint and eat glue
Some people make millions doing the former so good on you 🙂
You're right money is the ultimate indicator of good.
that thing looks way more fun than capeshit goyslop tbh
I had one of these, I had no idea how I was supposed to use it and not immediately fall over.
First of all you're judging a movie based on on-set pics, which the unfair and second of all, "cinema" isn't supposed to be this one thing, it's art, therefore subjective and different people get to enjoy different things. I understand Scorsese and the like b***hing about it because their projects get less attention and budgets than capeshit does, but what fricking stake do you have in this? Zero. Just farming for (You)s and attention for the brief 40 minutes this stupid thread will stay on before going into the archive.
"Art is subjective"
yeah, why don't you watch Paw Patrol in the theaters too, then? Frick Scorcese and his movies, by the way. All I'm saying is that all entertainment products have an appropriate age for them, and superhero movies are made for kids and teenagers, even so called R rating ones.
Superhero movies are designed to be as accessible as possible for everyone so they make as much money as possible. Saying they’re solely for kids is a gross oversimplification of a genre that’s already serving the lowest common denominator.
Anything that targets the lowest common denominator is by definition not made for fully developed adults. If you're an adult and you still go to McDonalds regularly, you have the taste buds of a kid, same thing if you're going to every superhero movie premiere there is.
You're going to the theater to watch stuff like pic related as an adult?
>You're going to the theater to watch stuff like pic related as an adult?
No sir i watch high art.
Netflix movies are just as bad, still doesn't make it ok to feel invested in a superhero movie as an adult
>dude, you won't believe it, Deadpool and Wolverine fought when they first met, then they TEAMED UP to fight the true villain! AND IT SETS UP A NEW X-MEN MOVIE!!! I thought it was really funny when they made that joke about how X-Men Origins: Wolverine was bad lol"
Deadpool 3 is going to be good. You just don’t like that it has white men in it.
Explain why superhero movies are childish without malding
You still haven't made a compelling argument other than spazing out about people enjoying capeshit because "IT'S FOR KIDS. WHY? IT JUST IS OKAY???".
And as every autistic chud mad about what other people like you won't share what is it that YOU watch, what is that YOU recommend us nerds watch instead.
Because as I said, you're only farming for (You)s and attention. You have ZERO intention to have an adult conversation.
Your "Andrew Tate of Cinema" attitude is nothing but a faint. A pathetic exercise on futility.
How hard is it to understand that I'm not saying you should watch this or that, I'm only saying you should avoid kid stuff as an adult. Stop sperging out.
>Stop sperging out.
Well that's rich.
It’s also dumb because even the quality of capeshit varies wildly based on the movie. Acting like all superhero movies are equally shitty solely because “it’s a childish genre” is just giving modern MCU movies an undeserved excuse for being garbage compared to older capeshit
The good superhero movies are still kid movies, though. Look, I'm not saying there aren't good superhero movies, I'm saying they are for kids, the same way Lion King is a kid movie, despite being great, and that you shouldn't be going by yourself or with other adults to a movie theater to watch it
>superhero movies are for kids because…. THEY JUST ARE OKAY?!?!
Not an argument, die mad
>You still haven't made a compelling argument
because the other anon is just trolling. The real compelling argument is that at some point grown adults should move beyond certain actions of a younger crowd. Think of it like orange juice vs Sunny D or still hanging out behind a random building at 40 to skate board the loading dock area or whatever.
Like yesterday was my day off and I did was hit up costco to buy some random shit and then I sat around eating frozen pizza and chips. Yeah it's what I wanted to do as a single guy with no kids. Yet it's doesn't change on some level it's still pathetic at my age. Even more so to hit up this shithole and post about it the next day.
I should be married with kids. Taking them to the park and working on house projects. Taking the wive to lunch or working on an adult level hobby like rebuilding a car or hell anything but video games and movies. Same shit for going to see cape shit. Spend those few hours bettering yourself some how. Yet we collectively don't do it. As I said, I'm just as guilty of this too.
>The real compelling argument is that at some point grown adults should move beyond certain actions of a younger crowd
Not really. As long as it makes you happy who cares. It's a hobby. Like most forms of entertainment.
>I should be married with kids. Taking them to the park and working on house projects.

I don't think capeshit is the cause of you not having all that.
>As long as it makes you happy who cares.
This belief is extremely dangerous and one of the reasons why people are getting more and more introverted, autistic and childlish, and why there is so many disney adults these days with self-medicated anti-depression pills. You are what you eat, or in this case, what you watch.
Ok?
You're not making an argument. You're just whining that it's not what you like, which ironically is extremely childish. Name the genres you like. Go on, we both know you won't because you're a COWARD.
Whatever the genre the outcome is the same.
>Protagonist vs Antagonist
>Character we're rooting for usually wins unless it's a horror movie.
>Everything is extremely predictable.
>There are noticeable beats which have been repeated in thousands of previous films.
>I thought certain things looked silly.
Like the last point is purely a subjective matter of taste. You watch movies from a certain period, it could be easy to argue it's shit because their clothes look ridiculous. You watch some sci-fi or fantasy film, same deal. It's subjective and worthless.
You have no objective criticism about super hero films which can't be applied to every fricking movie you like and you know it.
Superhero movies ARE for kids. They lack any complexity beyond spectacle and never address their themes in a mature way. Everytime they attempt to go further it either ends up being extremely shallow or lacks the insight to be considered for adults. That's why so many focus in flashy colors and fight sequences. They simplify any point they try to make.
This. It's a very insecure mindset to be embarrassed about seeing a movie because of an arbitrary designation that the whole genre can be written off as "childish".
>writer of kids’ books wants everyone to buy kids’ books
wew lad, next you’ll tell me the actors in superhero movies think those are made for everyone and not just children
>starts proposing reading fairytales as an adult
>becomes religious
What did he mean by this?
Have you met the average adult? I think you could count 5% of them that are fully developed by your reckoning.
Growing up doesn’t make it any less cool you fricking spaz. I still watch wrestling too.

Yeah, go and frick yourself while crying you whinny homosexual
>regularly
no wonder you feel like swearing, you eat like a kid and act like one too
He should get on dat moonshoes game
Did you own these? I always wanted one of these and a bop it but never got either. Were they fun?
I was a larger than normal kid so most of all those fun kid things always ended up under my weight limit. I assume the meek scrawny kids had a blast with them, I did have a bop-it I played with it at christmas with my whole family, its novelty wore off after a couple hours.
>You wouldn't buy one of these as an adult either
Why not? It looks fun
No, real men watch action movies like Predator, not homosexual superhero shit or womanly dramas.
Predator is proto-capeshit.
real men read books, all film is effeminate women’s crap
Books are effeminate women crap, why don’t you go shill your eat pray love shit somewhere else you fricking nerd
I know right? Real men watch real cinema made by serious filmmakers.
Kek what the frick is that, why is that kid beating up the old dude, it looks so fake
Deniro is also supposed to be like 35 in that clip.
Looks just like my dad at 35
I'm sorry.
>This is embarrassing.
He says, posting on Cinemaphile on a tuesday morning.
Third worlder spotted
i’m 20
Not if you take your kids with you :^)
Hard disagree. Watching elevated cinema is for dorks and a lot more embarrassing. Capeshit is normie approved and therefore acceptable.
So was Nazi Germany for the German normies chud
capeshit is literally a toddler genre
Deadpool 3 is going to be kino.
This shit was a lot more kino in the 80s and 90s. We NEED to go back.
I started feeling this feeling this year. I went to see The Flash and Guardians 3 and felt like I was too old to be there. I felt embarrassment, like all I could do was reflect on what I was doing which was paying to sit in a theatre and watch Hollywood superhero slop. I think I've outgrown it now. Not even the idea of Hugh Jackman Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds Deadpool in a buddy comedy movie sounds appealing to me. And a secret wars movie with Tobey Spiderman and the original Fox X-Men and RDJ Iron Man returning just doesn't sound exciting, it just sounds desperate. A desperate decision from a desperate company trying to rejuvenate life back into a once popular brand.
It's fine if you're at home, extremely bored, and want to watch something to pass time, but going to the theater, paying a ticket to sit next to 14 year old kids for a superhero movie is super awkward, I felt this when I went to a My Hero Academia anime movie screening, I kept thinking "if one of these kids was my son / daughter and a guy like me sat next to them, by himself, what would I think?"
you'll never have kids
What's wolverine doing fighting gandalf?
Imagine? Why bro, i am going
Couldn't have giving him rubber suit arms like Juggernauth in last stand? it looks ridiculous with sleeves unless he's wearing an tuxedo
The Marvels box office numbers support your theory
Imagine being a 30+ adult with a group of good friends who invite you out to watch a superhero film you're pretty sure you won't like but you go anyway to socialize and end up having a good time even though the film is stupid because you spent time with people who enjoy your company rather than sitting in a dark room watching a movie you will forget about entirely within 10 days
Imagine caring who's watching what to the point of creating a thread about it on anonymous imageboard
Just trying to make you reflect about your life choices, that's all. Some people don't have friends to give them wake-up calls.
Go frick yourself, you fricking sperg
Idk I always feel this way about certain media (movies, shows, music, games, etc.) only to be talking with people at work or complete strangers and finding out they enjoy those things. Some of them are older than me too. I very rarely find people out there that take themselves too seriously to enjoy stuff like capeshit
Imagine being a grown man and going to watch other grown men pretend being gods, heroes, and other mythological creatures. Half of them also play women.
... But enough about Greek theatre.
Greek theater was embarrassing too.
Every form of performances, since the beginning of time, were just various flavours of fairy tales, adventures, or soap operas. Nothing new under the sun .
all of those are for kids, to develop moral and ethics in undeveloped minds.
Imagine getting fricked, you goddamn homo.
society has changed unironically, 30 years ago you'd get teased if someone found out you read spider-man comics. These days your cowokers will be talking about the latest spider-man movie and you're missing out if you haven't seen it
In 2023 there is literally nothing better to do.
You are never too old to be a pleb.
I'm old and can do whatever I want. Only children care about such trivial things.
No more embarrassing than believing in religion and their magic superheroes. People (typically plebs and inferiors) need a mythos to believe in. They need a hero, villain, and moral lessons bestowed on them. A superhero fills the same niche as that. So if you believe in a god or other fantasy creatures and see this gay shit as cringe, you're looking in a mirror.
And how do you propose the universe was created without an immovable force kickstarting it, Einstein? Le big bang?
>see if i just say my magic her- i mean god did it then its not cringe!
>no proposition
next you're gonna say that the inorganic hot soup of minerals got sparked by a lightning bolt and became a single cell out of sheer luck
I don't have to propose anything. Because at no point would "I dont know what did it, so it must be (insert whatever the frick I want as the cause)."
And nobody says lightning hit a mineral soup and then a cell formed. Do you even know what the science says? I'm sure you don't believe it, but at least know what it says. Lightning hits shit and then a cell forms? That's ridiculous.
>the Science says
I can't handle this level of embarrassment
Yeah. If you're going to make shit up like "u tink lighten hit soop n maek cell" then you just show you don't know dick about what the science says. So your nonsense "i can make up whatever the frick i want in lieu of evidence" is absurd. Because you are so uneducated on it. You think the science says lightning hit some soup and a cell just appeared out of it like magic. That's fricking moronic.
How do you propose inorganic matter became organic matter then, Sagan?
Well not by magic. You believe in the magic like a superhero taking some dust and making a figurine and blowing into it. And again an argument from ignorance isn't an argument. It's a fallacy.
So you propose nothing, got it
>if you dont know 100% then it means i can say my sky superhero did it
Literally the logic of a child. How embarrassing. Religion is just culturally more acceptable capeshit.
next you’re going to say there’s no objective good or bad, I’ll punch you in the face despite the fact you did nothing to me and you’ll say “I can’t if this is good or evil because I don’t know your reasons for punching me” lel
>next you’re going to say there’s no objective good or bad
That has nothing to do with the point. But, no, good and evil don't exist. When people say X is evil or good they mean "X is a thing I really don't like and Y is a thing I think is really good".
I don't need to consult god or interpret religious scripture to look at someone being murdered or robbed and think that maybe allowing rampant theft is a shitty way to live for a social species.
>implying science isn’t just applied magic
We know very little concrete about the conditions of the universe, hence escaping our own orbit is the summit of our ambitions
>n-no its not science its just applied magic
>The recent superhero movies flopping means CAPESHIT IS DEAD! HA HA! THAT'S RIGHT, THE GENRE I DON'T LIKE IS OVER!!!! NOW WILL COME THE RISE OF WHAT I LIKE!
But uh, how come when people like them they still make a shitload of money and break box office records?
>DOESN'T COUNT! DOESN'T COUNT! TH-THAT'S JUST THE EXCEPTION THAT PROVES THE RULE!!
But everything is failing this year, doesn't that mean all those genres are also dead?
>NUH-UH! IT'S DIFFERENT!
How?
>IT JUST IS!
Every movie Disney has put out has failed, is princessshit dead? Indiana Jones flopped, is adventureshit dead? There hasn't been a hit western in years. Is gungayshit dead? Sexcomedy shit, dead. Comedy shit, dead. Fantasyshit, dead.
>SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I AM AN ADULT!! Y-YOU LIKE SUPER HEROES! CAPESHIT IS DEAD DEAD DEADY-DEAD! I AM NOT CRYING, FRICK YOU!
Logan was made for mature adult males such as myself
Deadpool is for edgelord teens
if I close my eyes hard enough, I am the Wolverine
Good job OP. You got the capeshitters seething.
Imagine being a 30+ adult and posting on a Chinese website a out cartoons
>I think THIS way!
>Well, I think THAT way!
>Let’s punch it other then
Imagine thinking you can tell a story for adults when all superhero movies end like this.
Last capeshit I saw at theatres was either Batman Begins or Spiderman 3, whichever came out later. Even when I paid attention to marvelslop I couldn't imagine being one of those fanatics at the theatres. I worked with some 45 year old loser who would not shut up about his excitement for endgame opening night it was so cringe. I spoiled the shit out of it for him thanks to a convenient 4 minute clip posted here that showed almost every major spoiler in the movie.
You’re a Black person troony.
Nice, I’ll start doing the same, I will look for post-credit scene spoilers and tell every manchild I see
>he posts on Cinemaphile and thinks he's an adult
far too many such cases
Actually, Cinemaphile ironically is the most adult social media website to post at, because it’s not centered around your own ego. The anonymous nature of Cinemaphile stops people from virtue signalling and forces you to focus on the topic being discussed.
Granted, it can also attract teenage trolls posting for shock value.
The older we get the more interested we are in abstract matters.
Give a colorful toy key chain to a baby and it's super interesting, but give it a lego and all it can do is chew or throw it out. Then, as we grow a little bit, we begin to imagine things, we give names to dolls and figures, we give them rudimentary stories and start to work on concepts of power and morality. The way we do that it is by picturing the good guys punching evil guys in the face. Tired of being taken everywhere by our parents in the back seat of our cars, we wonder what it would be like to fly, or zip through buildings like Spiderman and Batman, to have cool spaceships, lava guns, ice guns, laser swords... A good moment to have legos and play with action figures. As we grow to become teenagers, the same stories become more interesting with a little bit of complexity, throw it in some mafia plot, some moral dilemma, some political commentary, a plot twist you did not see coming, an abstract concept and so on. Most comics are between these two last steps. And then you grow into not-quite-superhero territory like James Bond, Indiana Jones or Fast and Furious, which are essentially the same old good guys punching evil guys, just a little more grounded. After that, as we grow to become adults, all of that should become boring to us, or at least take a modest place as a nostalgic little comfortable watch. You'll want to see real life situations, real drama, real complexity and subtlety instead. If you get excited or mad about superhero movies, you are still a kid.
>HOLY AMAZEBALLS I RECOGNIZE THAT CHARACTER
>HE WAS IN THAT OTHER MOVIE I SAW AND NOW HE IS IN THIS MOVIE
>THIS IS SO HECKING EPIC
Why does Wolverine use a costume? It's not like he's keeping his identity hidden or needs any armor since he's nearly immortal. That bulky suit would just hinder him.
>Why does Wolverine use a costume?
fanservice
Ryan Reynolds won
Jlaw lost
She was too good for the franchise.
this. you know this board is reddit when you have anons unironically defending ryan fricking reynolds. at least jlaw is hot.
>full Beast makeup for one tiny cameo
I wonder if they shot this scene during one of the rebooted X-Men movies
Yeah they supposedly filmed the cameo during the shooting of X-Men Dark Phoenix
I only watch true cinema, arthouse films, A24, etc...
I am superior to you plebs.
