Pound had no contempt for imagery, he regularly wrote about and admired sculpture, architecture and painting. In fact, Venetian sculpture became the archetype in his mind of all artistic achievement. It's just that he recognised very clearly that film can barely even be considered an artform, let alone a high art.
I remember once complaining about how a movie adaptation depicted something I envisioned differently, and a friend said "what did the book have pictures?" and I fully realized the breadth of the moronation of a normie.
you see, everyone has their own interpretation of a book, thats just how imagination works, your buddy was ribbing you for thinking the movie [someone else's interpretation] would line up 1:1 with yours like humans are some sort of hive mind.
No. America's Iliad is Moby Dick. It fundamentally altered the way stories were written and approached and became completely ingrained into our cultural identity for the last 180 years, being copied or paid homage to in literally thousands of other works.
He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength and inscrutable malice sinewing it. Be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up!
>It fundamentally altered the way stories were written
A work of literature having a large influence does not 'fundamentally alter' the way stories are written. It can, but in this instance it didn't. Besides, Moby Dick only became famous half a century after it was written.
Shut the frick up Zac
yes and that reflects on america
IIInois. So spell it right.
No, Ezra Pound's Cantos is. I hate filmbuffs for thinking movies are great art. As Pound says, in his 1942 review of the movie cat People:
>A race may civilize itself BY LANGUAGE, not film. Cat People is filth.
then why are you here?
To enjoy movies?

he was mocking you for being autistic, sorry this is how you had to find out.
I don't follow, but then again, I'm autistic.

The only superheroes to make a noticable impression on culture are Batman and perhaps Spiderman.
only Marvel matters
no
It's Marvel anon, it's always going to be Marvel.
It's been 10 years anon, nobody gives a crap anymore.
nta, but he's right, Marvel is the one
No, but it is its Aeneid
Yes
MCU up until Endgame is probably the peak of the movie industry. Of course they tore it all down in a couple of years with their diversity bullcrap
If anything, pro wrestling is America's theatre.
no the holohoax is
Maybe on Planet moron
well America has no values outside of capitalistic consuming so the Avengers being our Iliad kinda makes sense
>Planet moron
We've already established which country we're talking about
Frick it's over, I'm the moron
It's more like a composite of artforms through a technological process.

it's just a reimagining of the faust myth
holy midwit
Please. No one under 70 (who isn't autistic) even knows who Moby Dick is.
It's Natalie hershlag's worst nightmare

It's hilarious how quickly Marvel went from ruling the world to a punchline
It's pronounce illness.
No. It’s probably Lonesome Dove. But I’m a white guy so my America doesn’t exist, and my opinion doesn’t matter.
Or Huckleberry Finn. But frick white people amirite?
I sure hope so
>still getting mad over a 5 year old article
super heroes are for children
