Not a single one of the Marvel movies are good. They just use dopaminergic techniques to teach brains to enjoy them.

Can you elaborate on your second sentence? Not trying to be ignorant, but it genuinely sounds like β€œice cream doesn’t taste good, it just has ingredients that makes your taste buds act favorable towards it”

There's little scenes that cause dopamine hits but the overall story is garbage.

Yeah I get that. It's like, over researched.

On exactly at what timing in your life x would generate y amount of mostaliga.

Or, at the golden ratio of this scene we need a humorous pause and a quip.

Or now this group needs a comic relief character that also represents the audience that identifies with Adhd symptoms.

Or this movie can tie in to that one because this moment will generate most money.

Then they "hire" directors and actors to play out this plan. They don't have passion or what to tell a story, just follow a money making machine script

On and on like that Until it's not governed a single bit by passion, or trying to convey any message.

Kind of like kids music, it's attractive up to a certain point when you learn the tricks, then it's hot garbage

I'd argue this is true of most entertainment. It works though. Cookies aren't good either, but they trick my brain into thinking it's happy for a few minutes. I'll fucking take it.

Cookies aren't good? I feel like that's a spicier take than Marvel movies.
