HOW MANY VIDEO ESSEYS OF BVS AND JUSTICE LEAGUE DO I HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH!?

Today a youtuber named Filmento has upload a video essay/move critque comparing Batman v Superman and Captain America Civil War....in 2019.

Not only that, but another Youtuber by the name of Organized Chaos has uploaded a video about this exact same topic, on the same day as Filmento

Yeah, this doesn't look oddly suspicious at all. And why now? What is the point of this topic, there has been like 10+ videos of the exact same thing released in the same year both movies came out. At this point its all just milking this dead topic for all its fucking worth. And I cannot wait to see this sheer amount of spam essays to make a quick buck of the youtube ad algorithm to finish. Just like how shit talking the Star Wars Prequels ended only for the new Disney movies to take its place.

No, it really doesn't look suspicious. There are countless YouTube Channels. Hell, what exactly is the vaguely alluded to suspicion you have? There were also waaaaaaay more then 10 Videos talking about it...10 is such a massive understatement that even the "+" can't save it.

Do you know what does end up looking weird though? That you care so much in 2019 that these Videos either showed up in your Feed or you were specifically looking for them and then decided to complain about them existing, transparently because you really liked the DCEU stuff. People didn't like the DCEU, get over it.

I like to get over it. I can get over it. But these videos have not.

Its not about defending Batman v Superman or the DCEU anymore in my case. Its about when the hell is this topic going to end. And that these youtubers are just recycling the same video topics often saying the exact same opinion word for word, over and over again. I mean people are still bringing up the whole Zack Snyder wants to have Batman raped in prison rumor.

Its about as annoying as the constant video spam of why the Star Wars Prequels sucked when Mr. Plinkett made it popular. And that is mercifully ended. But was reborn into why the new Disney Star Wars movies suck.

And this is another topic I like to say, but I feel there is a narrative being pushed that nearly everything in popular media sucks right now. New Video Games suck, News Movies sucks, and especially New Music sucks, and for what reason I have no idea, because if its for improving these industries then so far nothing has radically changed.

And just so you know, I don't like Suicide Squad. Never cared for it, and Justice League was botched when they replaced Snyder with Whedon and try to rushjob re-editing the movie into something else then was intended, so that movie is dead to me.

That's because that is exactly what is happening. But that's because of politics. More precisely it's because of political partisianship, essentially, anything that could be done on Sites like YouTube previously, can now gain extra notoriety by including a political element. Over Time more and more Viewers get used to that and so come to expect it, and so more and more creators embrace it. You can thank the kind of chucklefuck that will claim "everything is political" for that. This sort of thing however comes and goes in waves, eventually the people that are only involved because of trends will lose interest and go back to ostracizing annoying activist types of all feathers.
