Ian Mckellen played Gandalf in lord of the rings and magneto in the older x-men films if you're into fantasy and comic book films
The opening night performances were Fanfare, an evening's entertainment showing children acting in an improvised scene, Anton Chekhov's Swansong with Ian McKellen and Edward Petherbridge, and a music hall finale with a Sheffield brass band.

It reminds me of Stephen Fry’s comment on Room 101, when he wanted to put critics in.
‘Imagine a critic at the gates of heaven, and St. Peter asks “so what did you do with your life?”
“Well, I looked at things other people did, and then told them why it didn’t really work” ‘

I think it says more about your maturity than anything about any kind of film.
Fantasy is the original high literature from Homer to the Bible and from King Arthur to The Arabian Nights.
Even Shakespeare wrote fantasy and Lewis Carroll is practically the highest art imaginable.
So what's your favourite genre Shane? Do tell...

Is that mature and introspective enough for you?

"into fantasy and comic book films" AKA "virgins" Some of them live alone and not with their parents and/or Nan but it's as rare as hens teeth in reality.

cuz all of this stuff is based off written OLD material (like the MCU storylines is decades old) but once the visual adaptions come out, people like it
we are at the end of the day, simple minded and nothing wrong with that

I think it’s more to do with the convoluted and inaccessible nature of comic books than anything else tbh.
