Possibly, but the history of 'Kawaii Culture' and how it started, and why it's a Japanese phenomena is actually pretty interesting. At least it's interesting to me. And why it's kind of perplexing Western conservatives like it ... and specifically why a conservative from a country not the U.S. but still within the Allied Western sphere would consume it mindlessly...anthony87 said:
You should try being a non-Anglo looking at American Superhero/Nerd Culture. It's dementedly right-wing when you stop and think about it.Addendum_Forthcoming said:
Well, yeah ... but I don't know Zontar's taste in things like Marvel comics. But I do know his taste in Japanese pop culture, and politics, and that he's Canadian.Ninjamedic said:
Like everyone else on this board, superhero films are apparently great and you only like them/dislike the bad/good ones for reasons other than the actual filmmaking.Addendum_Forthcoming said:
Pfffh .... I recently went into multiple rants why I only really like the Guardians movies. Also went into a discussion why ... though it wasn't only just about cinematography ... assuming filmmaking to be beyond shot composition. And even then the discussion of shot composition plays second fiddle to metanarrative, subtext, and theme.Ninjamedic said:
Considering it's supposed to be the job of the cinematography and visual direction to convey those concepts (It's a visual medium after all), I'd have to disagree hard there.Addendum_Forthcoming said:
I was talking about the posts I made. How my posts focussed on those things. The only time I really discussed shot composition was a particular scene with Pratt and Bautista, and how it's shot in tandem with the script and its delivery, was communicating something more than immediately apparent.Ninjamedic said:
