All of the biggest blockbuster movies have been comic book stuff for years.
We've had all the Marvel heroes like Hulk, Wolverine, Spiderman and more. We've had the other guys
and gals like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The US culture is a comic book anymore.
Where are the real life movies? Nobody wants that--people want fantasy and sci-fi and zombies.
Throw in some "reality" TV BS, like Bridezillas and the one where people are voted off the island,
and you get an overview of a very juvenile populace. It's trashy culture. "Love After Lockup"?
I watch news and TCM and some documentaries on Netflix. And sports back when, pre-covid.
