I think 9/11 and blockbusters are like the a-bomb and Godzilla

Where at first maybe it was drawing on memories of 9/11 and the associated fears, but at some point we stopped associating crumbling buildings with 9/11 and just started having buildings getting fucked for the sake of buildings getting fucked

  • you know, you're probably right

    though, to be fair, as far as cinematic tricks go buildings getting fucked is a nice way to give your multimillion dollar [FAMOUS ACTOR] vehicle some scale

    Like I genuinely, honestly don't think Man Of Steel was about 9/11 anymore than that Hulkbuster scene from Age of Ultron was about Man Of Steel

    I think they were both about "we want a big action setpiece right now"

    I guess a superhero movie about 9/11 would be like

    Bad Thing happens, and Captain Laserbeam can't do anything about it, and then he gets into a months long fight with Professor Squid who didn't even do Bad Thing and it that never seems to go anywhere or succeed at causing anything good.

    And then in the third sequel, the villain that caused the Bad Thing dies offscreen
  • That sounds like the RoboCop franchise
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
