I’m personally not entertained by the pulpy male power fantasies profferred by either Tarantino or Marvel, but I can respect that they work for some folks, and I can respect the frustrations some creators have with the market dominance of corporate-owned IP.
It seems like the auteurs I vibe more with - Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mikaela Coel, Werner Herzog, or Rian Johnson, have fewer qualms about working both within and without corporate -owned IPs. And true greats like David Lynch seem to not think it’s worth the energy to tear down popular cinema in a blanket superficial way.
