i feel like mcu fans losing their shit over wv not winning [xyz] emmy just showcases a complete lack of a diverse media palette and by that i mean, they consume primarily mcu shit and practically nothing else. not to go all pretentious film student on everyone but wv just isn’t the masterpiece you think it is; olsen’s performance isn’t as great as you think it is, it’s not this incredible story relating to love that you think it is. its not even the best show the mcu has given the world (daredevil still remains the best thing the mcu has ever done in terms of television while cloak and dagger is severely underrated imo)

want some movies about the complexities of love? check out wong-kar wai, i’d personally recommend in the mood for love, happy together and chungking express. i’d also recommend del toro’s shape of water which explores love relating to marginalised people through a classic monster horror framework.

want a movie that deals with grief through an asshole protagonist that the narrative actually acknowledges is an asshole? check out inside llewyn davis by the coen brothers. llewyn is an asshole but you really do feel for him in how he’s struggling with grief and depression.

want a good movie about mental health? perfect blue by satoshi kon is a masterpiece in how it deals with the protagonist‘s mental health issues and psychosis, using the medium of animation to its fullest extent.

you know how people often tell harry potter fans to read another book, yeah if you primarily or only consume mcu content, please venture away from that bubble and watch more movies. get a letterboxd account and browse through there, idk man, i cant tell you what to do, just don’t limit the media you consume to whatever the mouse plops on your plate.
