I've been thinking about "Bathos" lately.

Specifically after I've been viewing a few video that were supercuts of various movie lines like "Standing Right Behind Me?" or even broader catagories like one liners before and after the kills.

I bring this up because a lot of these movies are the sort of cheesy, action movie shlock that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been pigeon-holed into be it by Disney or former fans. Take your pick.

See... I could never get behind the criticism of what's been titles as "MCU humor" or "Whedonism" because of this idea that the prevalence of it is a recent phenomenon or even inherently a bad thing.

Like... you'd think that Joss Whedon invented snarky banter or even funny quips during action beats by the way people seem to talk about it. I remember when the 1990s and 2000s had stories often defined by semi-meta humor and "too cool for school" kind of dialogue in the kids shows I often watched.

Hell, Marvel having heroes joke and quip is... kind of comic books' bread and butter for decades now.

My problem isn't that we shouldn't be discussing this trend in writing and the likely executive decisions behind them. My problem is that a lot of movies we consider classics from the before times would kind of be throw under this bus. Like... the Sam Raimi Spider Man movies would be considered infected by Bathos. Not just "3," the whole trilogy.

Basically, if we're gonna talk about comedic writing that defuses tension and potentially emotional investment in too many stories today, maybe we should look back at where it had evolved from. If we want a better future, then we need to acknowledge out past.

Basically... watch more movies. Older movies of the genres you may gravitate to or newer ones to dip your toes into. Figure out what works and what doesn't if this trend grew into what we see now.

Also... how often HAS the MCU quipped "So that just happened...?" really?

"Avoid dreams," he said. "Never stop to listen to the clouds passing overhead. You will be run over. Never sympathise with the moon when you can hear it, cold and lonely and blind, crooning to itself like a corpse singing a hymn. You will catch pneumonia."

Michael Arlen, The Green Hat

2513. Child of Love

This is called “Child of Love.” Walked out, juiced, neoned, you know. 

I got fired from the lead role in the romantic comedy because I complained that the child actor they hired to play our love child at the end of the film was too ugly. I didn’t even say he was “too ugly.” What I said was he had “too big of a forehead.” It just seemed farcical! Mary, the woman playing my romantic interest in the romantic comedy, and I would never have made a child like that! (We’re both attractive people). I explained this in great detail to Seth, the director, but “Seth” (please take my using scare quotes around Seth’s name to indicate I believe Seth is a visionless shit) wouldn’t hear this. Was this a case of a nepotism? Possibly. This business is so ugly. The child actor (I can’t remember his name) I’m sure was a dear and will grow up to a hardworked-career as a character actor with a certain “physicality,” but for the love of god his forehead was too big for this role. I even tried to get Mary to agree, but this business will put the fear of god (that silent telephone that never rings) into you. She denied the boy’s vastness of forehead. I couldn’t blame her... We all need jobs. But my god! The last thing you want to see at the end of a delightful romantic comedy—one in which two seemingly opposite people end up falling into the matrimonial arms of one another at the end—is the child of love having a forehead the size of a drive-in movie theater! It is pure bathos! Love is sublime! You can stalk the nights forever in search of it! Rain-drenched and rabid! Strung-out and sleepless! And one day you can open your bloodshot eyes and see everything, all of it, right there...as if it weren’t there before...

”Bathos” is going the way of “Woke.”

And that’s bad.
