Hollyweird has been scraping the bottom of the idea barrel for quite a while now.

I predict a sympathetic portrayal.

This is American Literature, circa 2019. I’m pretty sure it will not be possible to earn a PhD with a focus on this era a hundred years from now. :)

Liberals have to inject politics into everything, even in a silly escapist superhero film.

Notice they never have characters challenging the sexist attitude that it’s OK for females to assault males.

s was pointed out years ago by Siskel and Ebert.

The early movie producers were raised on great literature, and made movies of great books.

Today’s movie producers were raised on comic books, and make movies of comic books.

Our local 6-Plex movie theater seems to play only si-fi superhero movies and kiddie shows.

Not so sure about that, it will probably be considered
must reading by young socialists to get a passing grade.
Might not take a hundred years either.

One can even see the titles of various term papers.

Successful anti-patriarchy in the early works of Spiderman.
A review of the leading cadres in socialist literature.

From the looks on their faces, they must all be liberal democrats...

If gender doesn’t exist, traits have no gender, thus masculinity doesn’t exist, how can it be toxic?

I watch the old B&W movies on TCM and can’t believe the kind of story that is considered worthy of making a film.

Movie audiences of the 40s were assumed to be somewhat familiar with classic literature and there seemed to be a demand for it. These things are still being made—but usually for BBC/PBS and not the big screen.

It might be because of the advent of TV in the 50s. Except for movies, people either read books and articles, or listened to stories/plays on the radio. The scenes unfolded in one’s mind. A well-made movie brought the imagined scenes and characters to life.

‘Great literature’ is not all that popular a read anymore and is actually being frowned upon on college campuses, so fewer are being exposed to it. Comics or perhaps comic-based movies are what is popular now. Sigh.

Interesting group. I would rather replace "White Rabbit" with "Dumb Bunny" from DC's "The Inferior Five".
