Before anyone asks, I have no idea why the site is glitching with teaser and banner images...

He doesn't even watch these films, yet he has formed his opinion about them and their audience?

I'm extremely curious what comic booky moments or visuals we get in Joker. I know it's gonna be a serious take but even Nolan had a bunch of very comic booky moments.

"Look at me, I'm a big grown-up man, I watch serious movies made for grown-up men, because that's what it means to be a grown-up!
It's not about finding a job and being independent!
It's not about taking responsibilities!
It's not abour being socially aware and respectful to others!

No no.

What defines me as a grown-up man is the kind of movies I watch."

Grown-up arguments by a grown-up man.

It could be worse. They could be making a movie solely to appeal to “grown up” pseudo-intellectual armchair auteurs of film.

Those movies made for grown male nerd childs are kicking the company's you work for ass in terms of writing and actual character investement buddy.

Yondu's death was more emotional than Superman. Sit your ass down.

Well eff off. It’s certainly not going to stop you from cashing those checks paid for by those grown male nerd children. Luckily mine has the uncanny ability of staying in my pocket. Oddly it’s possible to not like a genre of movies (or anything) without insulting all the people who do. Most of us do it everyday.

Oh and by the way, it’s 2019 dude. Women like this stuff too.

Imagine being so wrapped up in this that you take it personally. If you like this stuff, great! We all do, that's why we're here. But don't let a guy like this, a comedian (and a damn good one) ruin your day or make you hate him because of another point of view. If he doesn't like it, oh well. But he isn't "an untalented asshole who should be shown the light of his ways." Don't get all offended folks, it's just an opinion.

The thing I like about marvel movies is they have a fine balance when it comes to their movies, yes these movies are for kids too I can’t stand when people hate on marvel because they have lighter tones and jokes it’s like...let kids enjoy this stuff too! I can’t imagine any child liking BVS or man of steel for example and go figure DCs best film now is a family film, saying marvel film are for kids is like saying Pixar movies are for kids, I mean, yeah they are the target audience but an adult can be equally if not more engaged, entertained, and notice themes and nuances that will fly over the younger viewers head end of the day Marvel makes entertaining movies for EVERYONE to watch from cap winter soldier to GOTG

And phase four is gonna flourish even more

Anyone who's listened to WTFPod knows that Maron's a cranky old man on these films. Really great podcast though, probably one of my favorites.

The need to tear down other films in order to elevate another is telling.

The guy is a comedian, try not to take him too seriously. He was asked his thoughts and gave an entertaining answer.

@SmokingMan - I know he's an established comedian/podcaster, but I'm always gonna see him as the guy from the interactive Bob Dylan "Like a Rolling Stone" video first

Tells people he doesn't want to be bullied. Then proceeds to bully people who like a certain genre.

Comedian or not, his take isn't funny. It isn't an opinion either. He could have just said he doesn't like the genre and call it a day, insulting and falsely generalizing that entire audience as '' male nerd kids'' is quite pathetic because it screams insecurity. Sure some of the audience is just that, but there are a lot of fathers, mothers, grandfather grandmothers out there who like the genre as well. Difference here is... they aren't pretentious and don't have a stick up their bum.

Anyone that has to prove how much of a grown-up they are by what kind of movies they like isn't a grown-up.

"grown, male nerd childs"
that sounds what a grown, male child would say.

I keep forgetting this movie exists, but every now and then I'm reminded why I wish it didn't. Regardless of how good/bad/terrible it ends up being, the people it's going to appeal to for the various reasons it will and the things they're going to use it for are going to make the discourse just as dumb if not dumber than it's ever been

Women like this stuff too.

What's funny is that we made up like... 45% of Endgame's audience.

I get that people are going to be pissy about this, and I'm not saying he's right (but he's not exactly wrong, either). Maybe because I've listened to this guy play devil's advocate on basically everything (I was a big fan of his going back to the 90's), so even just reading his words, I can hear the tone of his voice as he's saying it.

So, I understand if this touches a nerve with some people who feel defensive about liking what are ultimately children's characters longer than they "should". But this is classic Marc right here, losing the audience over some contrarian bullshit. Gives me old Late Nite feels. I love him.

And he's right, my fellow nerd men (and women). We've won. And in the next few years, somebody is probably going to win a [frick]ing Oscar doing a Stan [frick]ing Lee biopic, that's how much we've won. We can be gracious about it.

Just watched the clip and it looks like he's doing it for comic effect to me, he's also being irreverent about "serious" movies.

EgoEgor - 8/22/2019, 3:41 AM
It's sad that people like this guy feel the need to continually preach that they're "grown up". Part of being grown up is not being afraid or feeling above liking "childish" things. Personally, I just enjoy good films; whether it's something like Avengers Endgame, Toy Story, Midsommer, or even a cultural drama like The Farewell all from this year; be it any genre and any tone, you should seek quality wherever it resides.

hey Im all for someone saying they arent a fan of Marvel movies, everyone is entitled to their opinions, free speech and all that, but when you start to insult the audience, you can kindly go [frick] yourself

and the reasons to go see this Joker movie continue to disappear, even though there wasnt much reason in the first place; Joker is only interesting when he is in a story with Batman, I love when Jokers origin is multiple choice, not a Solo-style definitive origin story and Im sorry but I have never liked Joaquin Phoenix, so this movie can leave me alone, thank you very much

@SuperDude001 - To me, Maron was one of the "outrageous asshole" comedians that got really introspective and basically openly therapeutic about the negativity in himself. He and Louis CK were the two dudes that I thought really grew out of that phase into something interesting (and I was disappointed to see CK regressing instead of owning his shit like Maron seems to).

Maron also used to do an quirky internet show from the break room of a radio station and AIM chat with listeners (which was great fun as a fan of his stand-up to be able to openly prod him like that). So, I'll always remember him fondly for that, too. Maron pokes and seems to like being poked back. That's what he was doing here, too. If that's not your cup of tea, of course, your mileage may vary.
