Are westerns just capeslop for Boomers? Their speed/accuracy/invulnerability is no different from any other superhero.

>>215612853 (OP)
No you retarded zoomer.

>>215612853 (OP)
You're thinking of Bond movies.

>>215612853 (OP)
pretty much, 30 years from now only Zoomers will care for MCUslop

yeah but they killed injuns and nigruhs so it was okay, they wus hwhite.

>kills 10 thugs with a 6 shooter and says something quippy
Yeah totally not capeslop.

Anti-westerns were better

they're just power fantasies in the same way that capeshit is, but most stories are

No.
>Their speed/accuracy/invulnerability is no different from any other superhero.
Not all Westerns are Spaghetti Westerns. But despite fantastical elements those are also much better than capeshit.

Capeshit has no redeeming qualities.

everytime
b-but there were just as many westerns flooding the market in the 60s, they were basically the capeshit of their era, that means there's nothing wrong with capeshit!
NO!
I've heard this comparison regurgitated so many times before from the coping capeshitter butthurt at the based boomers shitting on his precious capeshit and trying to deflect, it is so fucking retarded and only further expose the capeshitter as an idiot unable to use his brain and consider his arguments for five minutes before he shares his 'opinions'.
Westerns are rooted in historical reality, capeshit is fantasy for children.
Westerns deal with timeless themes like violence inherent to human nature, the building of civilization and its moral imperatives, man vs nature, myth vs reality, greed vs honor, conquering the wild, the frontier, etc. capeshit deals with aliens shooting laser beams in the sky and running after magical diamonds, shit that doesnt mean anything about the human condition
Western depict stoic characters who struggle physically to go from point a to point b, who develop themselves and accomplish actions through their own will and efforts, capeshit depicts quipping characters who inherit magical powers and are just empty vehicles for mindless set pieces
Westerns are shot in natural locations and feature human beings with unique faces and physical character, capeshit are soulless green screen CGI fests and only ever star bland roided up calvin klein models who cant even act
Westerns have been a part of film history since its birth with most of its directors having been canonized as the most influential visual storytellers, capeshit is a disposable fad with most its directors being hacks literally coming from TV sitcoms
but-but my green screen toys commercials are equivalent to folk legends and greek mythology!!
NO!
tl;dr capeshit is worthless and fuck niggers
Next time we'll explain to cape brainlets why capeshit also is NOT modern day mythology. Fucking morons

>>215612853 (OP)
Many of their shots are unreal but they are still real human stories so I wouldn't compare that to superhero movies.

Also you could say that about most of action movies because they are not realistic at all.

>>215612890
well, retarded zoomer, can you find a single capeslop scene comparable to the most famous western scene?

https://youtu.be/qwb3P0fuM1c

couple lines of dialogue in a 10 min. scene? capeslop does the opposite. as does star wars.

>>215612853 (OP)
look at this mog holy shit

>>215612965
Not commenting on the quality, but that's not the most famous scene, this one is by far

>>215612853 (OP)
Their speed and accuracy isn't even on par with the best in the world today

>>215613047

The more important question is how the hell did this guy play a Mexican so well?

>>215613263
maybe hes just a good actor

>>215612853 (OP)
Most westerns were based on a historical event or tragedy that actually happened dramatized for theaters.

>>215612853 (OP)
Is what they had as, "mainstream kids like this movies", is a genre, you have seen one you have seen them all, up to your taste after that

>>215612853 (OP)
You know boomers had capeshit too, right? Not as much in movies sure, but it's not like westerns and superheroes didn't coexist in popculture.

>>215612853 (OP)
Spaghetti Westerns are anti westerns.

>>215612853 (OP)
Yes.
The difference is that directors took westerns seriously so people like Forde and Leone used the genre to make some absolute masterpieces.
In contrast, Batman V Superman is the only superhero film that stands as an independent masterpiece of cinema. It's the only superhero film that feels wrong to describe as capeshit

>>215614665
>Snyderfag

You're thinking of capeshit serials

>>215612853 (OP)
superhero movies are expensive and are released exclusively by some of the biggest studios of all time
westerns cost literally 0$ to produce (just go outside and film some guy in jeans shooting blanks)
so they aren't the same, one is inherently good (no crapitalist marvel slop) the other is evil

>>215612853 (OP)
No, westerns are grounded in reality and deal with morality in a lawless and hostile fronteir. Speghetti westerns are just action slop in a western setting.

>>215612853 (OP)
Watch will penny

>>215612853 (OP)
imagine ai slop movie with them both in it
