Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

You might be, it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen but it was a refreshing light-hearted and well executed vision from what was obviously a small team of passionate creators. A lot of stars were born in slapstick, it's a staple of cinema even if it's fallen out of style. You should check out some Charlie Chaplin, Marx Brothers and Three Stooges to maybe get a better sense of what they were trying to be like.
For me, it’s not that it’s fallen out of style. I truly don’t understand how adults can watch that genre. It was never meant to be funny – it was meant to appeal to the same thing in your brain that’s engaged by car crashes, but as a child. Back in the before-times, we also had engaging media, and things like Woody Woodpecker appealed to people in the same way TikTok shorts do today.
I liked it when I was the age it was aiming for, but it wasn’t ‘art’ by anyone’s stretch of the imagination. Neither was H R Puff n Stuff or Blues Clues. Maybe I’m just too old to appreciate it?
e: I appreciate most things, though, so I don’t think it’s that. Seeing all the 10/10 reviews, I feel like everyone is in on some joke.
