I just read a French article talking about how a lot of critics (and some spectators) are completely disconnected from what is now mainstream culture like superhero movies, don't understand the movies at all, consider themselves superior for disliking it (not "intellectual" enough), and are surprised and unhappy when those movies are successful. "Why do a lot of people go watch this movie and like it when us, intellectually superior critics, told them that it's bad?"

Very nice read, written by a journalist specialized in cultural topics (once again, French only though) :

someone considering themselves to be intellectually superior yet works as a pissant movie critic online where they're told by their boss to review a movie they don't like the genre of?

Should maybe use some of that superior intellect to get a less shitty job eh?

Click bait gonna click bait though.

Click bait? What are you even talking about?
