Guns are bad but also cool. There's absolutely nothing contradictory there.
Frick, wrong quote >Prompted by the question, “Aren’t you, also, an otaku?” Miyazaki sees the opportunity to shift the flow of the conversation like he’s grafting a new subplot onto a feature film, responding with:

Miyazaki thinks that fans are bad. And he'd be 100 % absolutely correct.

But he's a fan. So how is being a fan of war planes worse than being a fan of guns?

>But he's a fan.
Is he? Or does he just appreciate war planes on a healthy level instead of going full on otaku or fan(atic) about them?

Did you not watch Wind Rises? He directly references Immelmann turn in pic related, a term most people would not know unless they are plane otakus.

The Immelmann is the most basic fricking maneuver, if you’ve ever played a videogame or seen a movie or read a book or listened to a podcast about WW2 planes you would know about it.
Wait, but then how come Miyazaki doesn't apply this logic to guns? He's very very anti-guns, he makes sure his big bads use guns.
You have never watched any of his films, read any of his books or heard any interviews with him, why do you even bother reposting reddit memes about one of the greatest artistic minds of our generation
Yes, Princess Mononoke specifically and it’s been called out for it over the years, which made big Jim so assblasted he spent 10 years making a sequel about how whaling is bad to own the Japs

>nature GOOD >humans BAD >industry BAD >little girls GOOD
Miyazaki-sama, i kneel...
>humans BAD
is the one part that’s not accurate. Miyazaki has a clear reverence for humanity even if he condemns them
movies Avatar has been often compared to:
Dances with Wolves (1990)
Ferngully (1992)
Pocahontas (1995)
Princess Mononoke (1997)
Avatar is just a product of the 90s, because that's when Cameron wrote it
he definitely did not plagiarise Miyazaki though, because he already had the script for Avatar before he directed Titanic, the tech just wasn't ready for it
>industry and war bad
>but war planes good
All 100% correct opinions and there's nothing strange in holding them all.

All fans are bad. Being a gun fan is bad.
That doesn't mean that guns can't be cool.

'humans bad' and 'little girls good' are mutually exclusive

Why are weebs like this? I also watched the NHK documentary about him being a shitty dad
Sounds like your first day on Cinemaphile
Do Americans really have this kind of impression when they see Princess Mononoke?
Or is this just a meme?
What do Americans have to do with anything beyond your OCD hyperfixation?

The only good thing he ever did was call out anime being shit. But it pays his bills, so he still sold out in the end.

Wait... isn't Avatar a rip-off from Miyazaki?

Evil scum like him need to be killed
