I love how this started off as a ploy to get Caine's attention, but it gradually turns into them unbottling how they all feel about him Like, they know they're screwed at this point, so they might as well go all out with the criticisms and insults

Everyone ganging up on Caine is insane A good tactic but holy shit, I couldn’t help but feel for Caine #theamazingdigitalcirus #tadc

@DCTalks1009 Listen, I'm done for now. Maybe you can find someone who will "engage" with you in a "non-angry or bitter" way somewhere else. Or, maybe you can log off the app and do whatever it is that you do. I am not going to concede, nor is the onus on me to do so. Enjoy your day bud. 2/end

@DCTalks1009 I don't feel the need to convince you of anything. It is always you trying to convince me to change my mind. You have never changed so I don't know why you expect anyone else to change. You say I act like I'm above others but this is what you do as well. 1/

In the past week I saw Hoppers, Project Hail Mary, and revisited John Wick 4. I’ve seen the public responses to the first two in theaters but formed my own views. I’ve been very happy with all. If all you do is police/pick apart discourse, you will *not* be happy.

🧵 This is not a direct comment about OP, but I notice that people who complain the most about "how horrible things are right now" also say things like this. They are often a proponent of "Whimsy not being cringe". It's just toxic positivity with extra steps. 1/3

@DCTalks1009 Well, thank you for your armchair psycho-analysis of my armchair psycho-analysis. My advice to you is to continue living your blissful existence in the way you see fit (as you have). You seem like a really chill and serene individual.

@TheExilesNet Because of that deeply held bitter anger. You are resentful of these things and hate their existence, as well as the realities surrounding them. Again, my advice is: this is a choice. You don't have to be so miserable and angry. You choose to be. I choose to point it out. End

@DCTalks1009 I see why someone who behaves a certain way might see that and be like "Hey, he is indirectly addressing me, I'm offended." This is a them problem. They ought to remove themselves from the equation and not take it personally. They'll likely live a happier life for it (likely).

@DCTalks1009 When I address people directly I try to do so with grace and respect. When I address collective attitudes, behaviors, or trends I find problematic then I do not employ the same delicacy. This is by design. 1/2

@DCTalks1009 I tweet and retweet about anime that I enjoy and have spent a lot of time promoting a new movie that came out called Scarlett. I even wrote a review. I heard crickets from you. I don't even know what you are doing half the time when you aren't tone policing in my replies. 2/2

@DCTalks1009 That's a you problem. I can tell, because you also show up only when I mention certain key words. "Superhero", "comic book", "franchise", etc. The reason you show up is that you care about these topics and you want to make it about me. 1/2

@DCTalks1009 You are attempting to gaslight me by telling me "I don't want to talk about it" which is code for I disagree with your foundational assertion. I'm not bitter, but my read on you is that you feel how you think I am when making tweets. You are wrong DC Talks 1009.

@TheExilesNet It *is* what this behavior is. You're clearly not comfortable talking about it, hence the "if you think". I'm simply pointing out you don't have to be actively miserable and bitter. You can just choose not to.

@TheExilesNet There’s a book that just came out called The Metamodern Films of Taika Waititi. My supervisor suggested that I look into it to help inform my own thesis.

With full seriousness, I don’t think any contemporary filmmaker has let me down more than Taika Waititi. 😔

@DCTalks1009 Ok. Fair enough. If you think my behavior is all of those things, according to my beliefs, it is completely fine for you to air your feelings, as scathing, targeted, and individual as it may be.

@TheExilesNet I have no doubt you find casting others as inferior, hypocritical or otherwise awful is "stimulating". It's what those same miserable people do, because it alleviates that feeling. Again, this is all a choice.

People have this ridiculous idea that if art offends them that's bad thing. Not only that, they think the offending art should be banned or not made at all. Their brains have been fried by Disney movies and kiddie crap, they don't know what art is

@DCTalks1009 I think you're projecting "misery" onto me. It seems you are assigning a real-world pathos to an online interaction that maybe took less than 10 minutes for me to draft. Not to mention, I find it stimulating. I think it just feels bad for you to read it.

@TheExilesNet I think it’s entirely a waste of time for someone as thoughtful as you. Misery is a choice. Complaining about stranger things for months is a choice. It’s based on grievances and it’s a waste of time. I didn’t jive with true detective season 2. I moved on quite quickly

💯 Mythology and the spectacle of that mythology is why we like Zack as a director. Our world and history is based in myth. As a kid. those were the films that grabbed my attention. While Zack is not the only dir. Who can tell a mythic story, his style is what makes him unique

Brad Curran@BradCurran

On a general level, that's like asking "What makes fillet mignon better than a plate of kitty litter?" But to boil it down to one thing, Snyder's predilection for mythic storytelling and grandiose action is what made me such a fan of his, both of which are all over ZSJL.
