Agreed on everything, but calling the marvel movies slop…I think that word has gone too far.


Not all Marvel films are slop. But, as a fan who comes from a family of fans and someone who has watched almost all of them; lets be real. That particular film, really and most of them, contain copious amounts of what is absolutely slop.

I don't know if the utility is worse than an LLM that is SOTA for 2 months that no one even bothers switching to however - at least the marvel slop is being used for entertainment by someone. I think the market is definitely prioritizing the LLM researcher over Disney's latest slop sequel though so whoever made that comparison can rest easy, because we'll find out.

I thought that was the allure, something that's camp funny and an easy watch.

I have only watched a few of them so I am not fully familiar?


Not only are Marvel movies slop, they are very concentrated slop. The only way to increase the concentration of slop in a Marvel movie would be to ask ChatGPT to write the next one.


The marvel movies are the genesis for this use of the word slop.


Can you back that claim up with a link or similar?


It’s junk food. No one is disputing how tasty it is though (including the recent garbage).
