Magneto vs. Wolverine

art by John Byrne

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

So I have been revisiting some Gen Z franchises lately,I marathoned and ranked the Shrek films last year,Im one third the way through the X Men films......And there is a ranking I really wanna do cause I wanna talk about it and no one has talked about it the way I want to :Harry Potter .See most people want to ignore it cause of the transphobic elephant in the room ,or ignore the problematic shit entirely and mindlessly gush over nostalgia

Heres the take I want to do.,...I want to view them as movies cause ,even before we knew JK Rowling was nuts ....I dunno where I land on this franchise .I saw the first 4 in theaters ,enjoyed them as a child ,then wasnt allowed to see 5 due to a fantasy hating stepfather ,saw 6 and was totally confused ,saw 7 on DVD which was so visually dark I had no idea what was going on,saw 8 in probabbly the worst theater experience I have ever had due to tothunder blacking out the power thrice ,and finally saw 5 last .I also saw that first Fantastic Mr Beast movie or whatever the fuck that was called(Wouldnt include those in the watch through ),saw the first film at a church screening 10 years ago where I did cosplay as Snape (Mainly cause I can do a decent Alan Rickman impression ) which I believe is the last time I viewed any of the main series movies

I wanna stress as far as memory tells me there is stuff I liked (Like of course ,the cast is stacked )and stuff I really hated (Voldemort is one of the worst villains ever )and that I know Rowling sucks.....But shes not the only person who made theser movies ,film is collaborative and I wanna see if the series is good ,bad or meh just as films .I just feel like I need to see why these films which were massive hits took off like they did

I love you children's shows fans, I love you obscure object show fans, I love you random books you read as a kid you were never able to forget fans, I love you random web comics fans, I love you campy movies no one has ever heard of let alone seen fans, I love you old fanfiction that will never be updated again fans, I love you random game you found on steam that you love so much, I love you people who refuse to let obscurity drive them away from something
