Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’
MudMan@kbin.social 11 months agoI'm not overthinking it, I'm overexplaining it after a bunch of people got really antsy about the concept of movies saying things.
The thinking took like ten minutes after I left the movies. It went "huh, hadn't clocked that Gunn is a spiritual/catholic guy before, It's weird how much of a direct response to the very strongly atheist videogame plot this turned out to be. I like the game's take better".
And that was literally it until I mentioned it in passing here and a bunch of people went "wait whaaaa?" and got really agitated.

People are like, “whaaaaaat?” because you’re overthinking it.

They really aren't. I'm not calling out anything that isn't in there on purpose. Like, obviously on purpose.
There's an argument to be had about to what extent criticism can adequately push a read that the author doesn't intend or disagrees with, but on Guardians I'm literally just repeating what the movie says. I'm not even interpreting anything here.
