[QUOTE="Grendel_Khan, post: 8448912, member: 7028554"] My brain can't really handle multi-snip nested exchanges--which imo can get weirder and more unwieldy as a thread progresses--so just wanted to talk about this separately. If people were in the process of critiquing superhero movies--digging into the specific approaches and techniques and even film theory behind them--I would be thrilled if someone made a meaningful and relevant connection to Dogme 95. Given enough time and detail I think lots of discussions of creative works wind up exploring influences (which, perish the thought, aren't "category leaders" or financial juggernauts) and examples that are at the margins of a given field or medium. And in discussing the MCU it's not at all weird to imagine talking about lesser-seen or indie movies. Is anything in Eternals reminiscent of Nomadland or The Rider, when you consider how different it is (or isn't) from other MCU works. Does Guardians of the Galaxy seem like an artistic compromise compared to The Suicide Squad, given how bonkers and iconoclastic Super is? And are Fruitvale Station's fingerprints anywhere in Black Panther, other than the director wanting to continue working with Michael B. Jordan? And never mind connecting the dots that directly between directors' MCU and pre-MCU work--do current superhero movies draw their visual language and tones from much older, non-supers movies, or is there really a house style, similar to how most TV shows lock in a look during the pilot and different directors--even distinctive ones like Tarantino, when he did ER--are brought in largely to just keep things moving, because they at least aren't going to screw up the production's well-oiled machine? Those are all, I propose, legitimate topics of discussion related to superhero movies, that might get to some interesting places assuming people don't assume it's pretentious to try to make associations and connections beyond whether Thor: The Dark World is worse than Iron Man 3.
