Something I think about a lot is how 9/11 changed action. There were many more Marty McFly-type protagonists out there, nerdy or dorky outcasts, victims of bullies, usually physically weaker than the antagonist(s). After 9/11, America couldn't have our protagonists be "weak" or "victims," even if those protagonists were successful or victorious. Even Luke Skywalker lost to Darth Vader and had to run away after losing his hand. After the attacks of 9/11, American action protagonists became former military, stronger and more capable, better trained. No more Tobys playing Peter Parker, next we get Andrew Garfield, the super cool guy who, even though he fails, is capable and strong. In 2021, the US left Afghanistan, and leading up to that moment we started seeing more well-written action, though most of it was buried by franchises like Star Wars or Marvel. Hopefully the trend continues and we start to see more variety in our action protagonists (Also you pulled off the green screen very well)
That’s a perspective that honestly didn’t even cross my mind while writing the video. I’m aware of how wars and states of nations impact the art that’s made whether that’s the manga Astro Boy and Godzilla in post WW2 Japan, the macho man identity of 80’s film during the era that saw Cold War strife and growth of suburbia, but for some reason I never thought about the amount of impact that post 9/11 America would have in protags of the era & I think you nailed it better than I ever could💯Appreciate the comment brodie
@@KardiacK I've been looking basically since I made this comment for the interview that I saw that posed the framework for this view, if I find it I will link it here but as of right now I cannot cite it. But it's an interview about the change in masculinity amongst some of our most popular modern media from aggressive warriors to caretakers and gentler men. Think less Rambos and more Officer Hoppers
I’m only partway through watching but I feel like the negative discussion is more towards franchises pumping out the same old crap for money instead of making gems like they were when they made their first couple of them.
Forsure, I wish I had mentioned the fact that in previous generations, Warner, Disney & HBO had subsidiaries or production teams who got smaller and more manageable budgets to create those gems and bc they “weren’t as profitable” a lot of those teams are just defunct now so they can focus all their money on big budget franchises that don’t take many risks like you said
Glad this finally came out. Loving the new style bro! Also yes audiences are getting smarter, let's hope the money follows suit so studios can see that.
Got this randomly in my recommended, won me over by saying exactly what we’ve been thinking perfectly, lost me by saying One Punch Man beats Goku, won me back by shutting down AoT haters.
