Ah, Marvel movies. They’ve become an object of scorn by both film snobs and superhero fans alike. If Marvel makes billions of dollars and achieves unquestionable levels of success as they did in 2019, snobs complain that they’re becoming too much of a cultural monopoly, making little room for anything else. If Marvel movies flop commercially, then they’re a harbinger of the death of the superhero movie altogether, according to superhero fans who care about the box office more than a film’s actual quality and those snobs who are thinking wistfully. 

I’m not of the belief that if someone enjoys Marvel movies, that means they’re intellectually incurious about the rest of film history. It just means that they love Marvel movies. I also think that the insistence on monitoring the box office for blockbusters as if we’re high-level shareholders in the Disney company is pointless and isn’t indicative of a movie’s essential quality. We all need to stop acting so weird about the MCU. Why don’t we sit back and enjoy the abundance Marvel gives us and ignore the slop they try to force-feed us? If you are totally normal about Marvel movies, these Marvel memes will suit your fancy.
