            Thor L&T being bad doesn’t make it nihilistic.
            Last Jedi is literally movie that says young people can save a world that has been left to rot by previous generations. It’s incredibly optimistic. Again, it’s a bad movie but not nihilistic.
            I’ll give you Black Swan.
            I can’t judge I Care A Lot by box office since it was a straight to Netflix film, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t what anyone can call popular except among critics.
            Whiplash I can kinda give you. It didn’t set the box office on fire and normies don’t like it.
            I could say the same about Nightcrawler.
            Revenant is the only one of these movies you can unequivocally call a bonafide hit because of DiCaprio

    Damn, I actually started writing a script for a youtube video last month that talked about this too. Same title even. But yeah, the movies that have come out in the last few years definitely feel "different." They're a lot more self-aware and don't take themselves seriously while revisiting old archetypes and stories instead of trying to subvert traditional conventions. Movies in the mid/late 2010s felt dark and moody and wanted to be super serious. The term that really fits newer movies imo is "ironic sincerity." It's as if the wall between the creator and audience has gotten so short that neither side even bothers pretending that pop culture and media is art anymore. It's all content that can be produced by anyone, so there's no need for the artist/creator to act like their some artistic genius that has to present something super high quality that outdoes whatever the standard or convention is so as not to seem cliche. It doesn't matter how weird or insane the idea sounds, anything goes nowadays. Just look at the Velma show or the Barbie movie. I think the movie that fits in with the definition of Metamodern and "ironic sincerity" the most is something like the Lego Movie, where the main character is just a regular guy who isn't special but is still the hero who saves everyone even if he turns out to not be the chosen one or whatever. He still has to go on a grand quest like most hero's journey stories, but the movie treats everything so light-heartedly and isn't up its own ass constantly (because why bother when this kind of story has been a million times, might as well have fun with it), but is still serious when it needs to be. The movie doesn't just deconstruct and critique past conventions and cliches for the sake of deconstruction, but instead goes beyond and provides a response to what is being deconstructed while revisiting old conventions and cliches and creating something new with them, not in spite of them.

        I don't really go out of my way to watch modern media either, but it's everywhere. It's a huge part of our culture and they help shape each other now more than ever. Even if you don't pay attention to whatever show or movie is popular, chances are you have experienced it in some way through social media or other people talking about it. Everything is media and it is impossible to escape it. If you pay attention to people and how they interact with others and present themselves, you get an overall feel or shared sentiment that is likely expressed in media/movies too.

      aka directors and writers can be self aware "hihihi isnt this campy, havent we seen this meem on twitter folks" to get ahead and sidestep any criticism, but then also want to get praise for being revolutionary and convention breaking
      Instead of being sincere, try to make art and be vulnerable because it might not be well received

        Yeah, it's another increase of the distance between people and actual content. Content itself is the fulfilling element and any degree of separation is non detrimental only as long as it's temporary and its purpose is making the actual content more efffective.
        Otherwise is just seeing through things (and reveling in the act of seeing through in itself) until you see nothing at all.
