Media literacy is dead, and people can’t enjoy visual splendor and visual storytelling anymore apparently. Classic storytelling is to be picked apart and deconstructed. The only important thing is “plot” and cramming as much into every scene as possible so there’s no possibility of lingering in uncomfortable emotions.
Modern directors are like “Oh no, the audiences are having a genuine emotional experience, quick, throw in some quips or some back door pilot or some fan service shit!”

I know right, I totally remember the end of the first Avatar when Jake and Neytiri were trying to rescue their children from a sinking whaling ship. Same exact movie!
