I'm absolutely fine with people hating or disliking MARVEL movies at this point. They are cookie cutter movies and I can't defend that.
HOWEVER for him to use "these are just made to sell toys to children! Why are people being stabbed with spears with no bursts of blood!" type reasons as criticisms is just fucking dumb. These are PG rated movies to appeal to everyone not just adults. They're designed so anyone can go into one of them and have a fun enough time to deem the movie was worth watching. They aren't trying to make abstract masterpieces. Its been almost, what, 20-25 MCU movies released thus far and that's still a thing people are pointing out as if they expect something different?
I don't know. I enjoyed the movie. I'm fine if you didn't. But don't try to use dumb as fuck logic and insanely obnoxious counter-points to nitpick the movie. If you're going to bring negatives up about the movie then point out how half the movie is about retrieving Klaue and then sidelining him with a "death". Or about how little of Killmonger & his dad are shown to promote that bond and his revenge are actually worth seeking out.
I've had the displeasure of seeing videos of actual throat cuts and bullet wounds. While they are bloody, they can be surprisingly far less bloody than people realize. Seen a bullet wound hole with no blood whatsoever on Cops. Hollywood has tainted our perception of blood that people don't even know what is realistic anymore.
So while it's not realistic to never see blood in a violent film, the same people who criticize this fact I hope are the same people who criticize pools of blood in most action films.
