Comment on How do other countries view American super hero movie's always putting the threat in new york or whatever? Instead of their own country and have their own superheroes?

  Well you sort of open yourself to this criticism when you say we, implying you speak for the whole of the non-US world.

    Good point, thanks, I learned something.

  Why do you keep using the word 'we' if you only meant to talk about yourself?

    Sorry, my bad. Initially I meant it as a “not everyone is an American” group with sample size = 1.

  I have no clue who your we is, but this and other parts of American pop culture are wildly success the world over.

  What’s your personal media diet? Do you like similar adventure stories that are more local, or is that just not your thing overall?

    What’s your personal media diet?

    Books (mostly sci-fi - Permutation City by Greg Egan) are easy to fit into short slices of time.

    Video games (Cataclysm: DDA, Dwarf Fortress) are nice when you have a hour or more to concentrate.

    Music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6rCu2Daeyo) is always nice. Doesn’t demand much attention, if you can’t spare much, but can absorb any amount of it (more complex stuff like Maurice Ravel).

    Movies? I tried movies, but they require dedication (if I’m going to sit for 2 hours in front of my PC, I’d rather do something fun - and movie theaters are a whole new level of hassle), the content is either boring or nerve-wrackingly stressful.

    IIRC, the last movie I watched was some Star Wars something - it had spaceships just sitting just above a planet (instead of orbiting - why wasn’t it falling down like a stone?), and when one spaceship flew near another, there was audible sound (rumble) in the other one. I suppose they must have played this rumble over speakers, or something. I can suspend my disbelief and imagine the “laser” weapons that shoot slow-moving pink plastic-looking cylindrical things are mislabeled as “laser”, and are actually firing some particle beams or something, but I can’t forgive sound transmitted through space.
