I generally like Marvel film and TV content, but would prefer to have the studio pause for a while.
Not because of this Jonathan Majors thing, but because I still like Marvel, but have no interest in any of its new content.
I’d rather have nothing and build up a desire for it, than be flooded with content and have no interest.

I need there to be literally nothing new produced that has superheroes in it for, let’s say, about 35 years. And let’s toss the entire horror genre in there too. We need a cleansing moratorium on the two biggest forms of direct-to-dumpster entertainment.

You’ve been missing out then, horror movies have been having a renaissance in the last couple years with new directors, actors and plenty of new well done stories coming out. Even great low budget and some with high studio budgets

I hope you are not talking about the A24 movies.

Aww yes, the “I saw a bad horror movie so it’s all bad and needs to go away” schtick. Horror as a genre tends to have a larger number of bad movies in it because they are notoriously cheap to produce. But being cheap is part of the reason the genre has so much charm amongst its fans, and also how it sometimes attracts genuine talent.
Horror makes up 90% of the movies I watch. If people can’t find good horror, that’s on them.

No such thing. They’re all good. Some are just good for laughs more than scares.

Look. I love good horror, but almost everything in the Conjuring Universe can just die in a fire and we’d be better off for it. It’s all cheap jump scares. The elements of “dread” that they try and instill are so incredibly cheesy, that it’s so hard to take them seriously.

Maybe instead of jumping to conclusions and making shit up, you could calm down and stay in your lane instead.
