[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9191638, member: 18"] It's obviously not ageist in any sense beyond "being realistic about what audiences actually want from superhero movies" might be considered ageist. It's one thing to bring back a beloved actor who is getting on in years, but provided a classic portrayal of a character, and quite another to invoke Yellowstone and Tulsa King as appropriate models for Marvel. The former can impact things, but as Michael Keaton shows, it can't save a bad movie - though he probably made them more money than the actual star did. The latter is ludicrous nonsense without specific examples and absolutely should be dismissed out of hand until such examples are provided. That absolutely doesn't prove your point about it not being "just a rancher show". You can still be "just a rancher show" if you do a much better job on indigenous cultures than previous rancher shows did. A lot of adventure movies before now were often kind of racist or at least incredibly culturally insensitive, but that doesn't mean an adventure movie now that does a better job on that is necessarily more than an adventure movie. Also have you even seen it? You seem to arguing on the basis of a specific laudatory article (which you didn't link btw lol), rather than having seen any episodes. [/QUOTE]
