I think it exists…but is amplified immensely by the far fringes trying to “win it”…

Americans have been waging war on culture for hundreds of years!!

it's just political polarization. the term 'culture war' is a BS narrative peddled by figureheads.
no doubt political tensions are high. but I'd bet a lot of money it doesn't stem from warring 'cultures.'

That’s just semantics…for profit motive as usual…
The net effect is the same no matter what we call it.
Very fractured/charged
People treat every comment like a football game now…
…which 33 states have been angling towards since the AFL/NFL merger

BB is gonna bomb hard. Unless it's really good, in which case it has a little more of a shot
Marvels is also gonna go over like a 'wet fart'... no chance that film does well

Oh…you’re gonna get a lot of flak for that one.
It’s pretty obvious…but you’ll still hear it

that fair, but I think the term culture war is misleading from the get go and is overly sensationalistic. America is politically divided, that much has been statistically proven. But it's less a war between cultures and more typical political polarization that has its roots way deeper than the last 10–15 years.

hahah... I got flack for TLM too. Doesn't change the fact that I'll be here chuckling to myself when it doesn't make nearly as much money as folks seem to think it will.

Why, precisely, would the failure of The Marvels make you chuckle? Ms Marvel was fantastic and Iman Vellani is the most charismatic actor the MCU has had since Robert Downey Jr. It may well underperform, but I'm not sure why that would bring any well adjusted person joy.hahah...

And the culture war is "real" to the extent that it is having a real impact on many individuals and institutions. There has been a very significant shift in the nation's political rhetoric since about 2012. You're quite correct that, to fully understand what is happening, one needs to have a firm grasp on American history, but I suspect the lessons you and I draw from that history might be quite different.

First one made a billion and this one has some of the highest awareness and interest while still being months away. It'll be a hit.

I liked ms marvel too…
…I’m more concerned that MCU/Disney/whoever believed it’s gonna
Drive a Tentpole?
My concern on all these rapidly multiplying movie threads is that our Angel Disney has gotten to the point where they can’t judge box office success while at the same time taking almost zero risks.
It’s really the worst case scenario of the “ip strategy” and has been building for years…

We don’t need Disney to teach, they are an entertainment company. Therein lies the negative perception towards them for some people.
Also glad you’re not my stock broker. Regardless of individual beliefs, I wouldn’t buy stock because someone is “promoting the correct message in their products”…Bud Light and Target shareholders say hello

No one in Hollywood can judge box office risk right now. No one knows what's going on, and thus every studio is playing it safe. What studios are taking artistic risks?

I’m not talking “art”….Disney is rarely - if ever - Art….
They can’t make good stuff with established IP

Have you seen the trailer?
They go out of their way to make it look like anything but a captain marvel sequel. It looks like a bad take on ghostbusters
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it’s on a more serious tone…because I do like captain marvel

I have and I've also read spoilers from test screenings and I'm convinced it's going to be good

Well they need it to be. I don’t think the audience is in to filing into theaters for Disney as they once were.
It needs to be very good…like GOTG3…or it’s not gonna cover budget and costs
