>1. TV and Film have switched spots.
There's a lot more than Marvel going on today no matter what the author implies here.
>2. Self-Censorship. Comedy was big in the early 2000s.
Claiming that there have been no comedies since 2012 is just ridicilous and pointing at Deadpool as the only potential counter-example just shows how little the author has explored beyond blockbusters.
> 3. Most Stories are the Same. > 4. You Learn the Tricks.
This is mostly the same point and if the author didn't just watch the biggest blockbusters he'd have found how much pleasure you can get at that point by going for deconstructions, Meta, movies who play with, ignore or go against the tropes etc.
>Passive Media Consumption is Fundamentally Bad.
Fundamentally? He spent 2-3 hours on movies every 5 days, I doubt he doesnt spend as much time on something that he'd deem empty calories now, too.
At any rate, you've hardly exhausted that much after 819 movies even after including those he'd seen before when he was watching less.
