At this point it seems the only people who like them are people who believe they're owning the cons by watching them.

Marvel movies were mass culture for about a decade; you might as well be asking "describe a Republican who likes sports" or "Describe a Republican who likes Star Wars."

This.  "Likes Marvel movies" includes a slew of movies that were exceptionally popular and well received.  If BRTD is trying to find a Republican who continues to loyally support Marvel's steady decline in to trash movies that seem to care more about messaging than quality, yes, that might be more difficult ... but plenty of Democrats are unimpressed with their latest efforts, too.

A normal person who touches grass and doesn't constantly binge watch conservative cultural commentary??

These "describe a voter for Party X with characteristics Y" threads have always been among the most inane wastes of energy and bandwidth that plague this forum, but it feels like they just keep getting stupider and stupider.

No no no, according to a certain poster here no one except raging incels hates Marvel's latest movies and a decent percentage of the forum thinks there's absolutely nothing wrong with him, and thus nothing wrong with that statement.

Funnily enough it seems the most common people who actually do that are exactly the types I mentioned who still watch them to own the cons, most liberals just are completely unaware of this sort of thing because they pay no attention to it and just don't like the movies now. Definitely the position of the median poster on this forum.

No lol, most people who watch Marvel movies aren't trying to make a political point. Most people watch Marvel movies because they'll watch whatever's popular and have no standards for quality. The vast majority of people don't have any political motivations for their everyday actions and us freaks should probably keep that in mind.

We've had some multi-page threads here arguing about them as if liking them or not is some sort of key cultural issue.

They are known to be propaganda for the military industrial complex. Conservatives shouldn't have trouble watching movies centered a objectivist billionaire who works with the Pentagon.

These "describe a voter for Party X with characteristics Y" threads have always been among the most inane wastes of energy and bandwidth that plague this forum, but it feels like they just keep getting stupider and stupider.

Marvel is a poor example of using cultural taste to describe a certain voter because they are large monoculture media consumed by Democrats and Republicans alike. It would be one thing if we were asking to "describe a Republican who likes Michael Moore movies," where that would be a rarity worth asking. Any massive pop culture phenomenon is going to have broad appeal that asking to "describe x voter who likes Marvel" is pointless.

How about "a Republican whose favorite kinds of music are emo and melodic hardcore"?

An older millennial who was really into emo in high school and who became subsequently more conservative with age but who retained fondness for the music of their youth, perhaps nostalgically believing music has gone downhill since that time? I don't see how it's that hard to imagine; I mean, a few not overly large tweaks to my own biography gets me there.

From my admittedly anecdotal experience, people like that tend to still remain repulsed by the GOP now because of Trump. Remember these are mostly college-educated people.

Pretty much what RI written above me. That type of person is just unlikely to be engaging in the subculture as they are older and have families now, so you would not see conservative emo fans interacting online or among concert goers.

One who doesn't use the internet to complain about them.

Theoretically, these people exist.

Lol I think this is the first I've heard of this, and I'm an actual conservative. I feel like I've maybe seen some people get worked up about Marvel's woke agenda or whatever, but that goes for everything these days.

I mean, I don't like Marvel movies myself, but that's because they're boring and repetitive. Not sure that has anything to do with politics.

So can we safely conclude that "no one except alt-right incels hate Marvel movies" is an incredibly mind numbing f[inks]ing moronic take?
