are you referring to all movies and shows as "slop"? because if so I strongly disagree, film is a legitimate art form and experiencing art is absolutely not meaningless. idk what this dude is watching but I wouldn't assume it's just Marvel. even good movies can have the kinds of flaws he's talking about
CinemaSins isn't "critiquing" obscure French or Soviet film. They're mostly just chasing after slop that people remember. Their most recent "reviews" include Dodgeball, Alien: Resurrection, Mean Girls 2024, and the Garfield movie.
ah, I've never watched a CinemaSins video. it sounds like something I can safely avoid because I don't like review shows that only exist to shit on movies they hate
I guess RedLetterMedia got big by doing that but at least they also sometimes talk about stuff they actually like
edit: also I don't think only obscure foreign art films count as works of art, I'm a horror fan so a lot of my favorite movies are very schlocky but still have artistic merit IMO
CinemaSins got their start making videos about continuity errors and such in movies, and degraded over the years to where it's a bare minimum effort unscripted first-pass nitpick of a movie, such as "has opening credits", "kid's bedroom has toys in it", "they haven't introduced this character yet" when that character is being introduced. It's one of the most lazy productions I've ever seen.
