Why are these movies so fucking comfy?
>>63180559
because you're a fucking manchild without a sense of measured judgement and critique so you come up with an arbitrary meme to cover up for your plebness

They just have that feel anon.
That feel of being young and at school with good friends and doing fun things, adding to it having special magical powers.
Watching the series during Christmas time wrapped up in a blanket sitting while eating Christmas food and chocolates, with a fireplace beside you, is maximum comfy.
>>63180559
Fantasy people don't have real-life problems.It's a nice escape from reality. Just like The Shire in Fellowship

Harry had plenty of problems. He was a 17 year old virgin, had almost no friends despite being a celebrity and athlete and he was a known problem child notorious for breaking the rules.
I find them comfy because I read the books as a child long before I came an adult and realized how bleak adulthood is. So, when I watch them I try my best to forget all the typical existential dread and enjoy something from my childhood. but yeah, as anon said if you like harrypotter you are a manchild emma watson worst waifu baka gaijin
>>63180559
Because it doesn't require you to think. Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip.
Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family.
>>63180559
i felt that sometimes with the flicks, but then Harry and Dumbledore #2 would go spoil it with how much more angsty and volatile they are than in the source material
>>63180640
He's a fucking wizard and they have literal rape juice and amnesia spells in their world.
>>63180559
Which one you you think is the comfiest? I'd say DH p. 1
>>63180568
Beautiful.
Make your own adventures, op. If you can't do that at least find a better franchise to vicariously live through.
>>63180675
I'm sorry but I've read 1984 and yes Orwell does a good job at creating a grim future of constant surveillance but beyond that the book is shit. Also what the fuck what is the parameter for those 8 slots? is it time? plato>harry potter? what a cookie cutter chart, de.su sen.pai

That or HBP I do much prefer the later ones for them being more dark
>>63180559
Because they were a part of your childhood and continuously matured every year as you were too
>anyone born in the 90s knows this feel
cause JK Rowling's best work is just her writing about Hogwarts and Ron, Harry and Hermione's experiences at the school.
Fuck reading about classes at Hogwarts was so comfy I almost wish the plot and story didn't come into it at some times.

Each book typically started off a new school year which took place the same time as regular school. When regular school starts, it's the beginning of fall when it starts getting cold and shit. It's very easy to identify with this and there's a wonderful amount of comfy images and settings.
Also they came out when you were probably like 10.
>>63180928
>eating spaghetti with mouth open with boring/annoying dykes : the movie
who cares, what a lame fucking movie that was. anyone who likes it is a complete pleb
>>63180744
Because the the shit director replaced the good director. The movies went to shit after 2.
>>63180559
Because the idea of getting an invitation to magic school and doing magic school shit is appealing to many people.
>>63180568

You say this while not demonstrating any of your own, or arguing how/why he does not. I wonder what that suggests.

holy shittttttttttttt
Probably because Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects?all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>But at least the books are ggood though!
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King
>>63180568
>cos ur fucking stupid, pleb xD
There's too many 14 year olds who think they're smart posting here.

The books are way more comfy.
Every book has like 400 pages of the kids drinking hot chocolate, eating pastries, just fucking lounging around by the lake, etc.

harry potter has done more harm to cinema than all of quentin tarantino's flicks combined. fuck you for supporting this piece of shit franchise.
>>>/v/
There's huge amounts of backstory and lore that the movies manage to convey on screen both visually and with exposition. That gives you a world that truly feels concrete. Personally I think that the fact that I grew up along the main characters also helped.

Thank you for your honest feedback.
All I'm trying to say is that they were monumental cinematic disasters that set cinema back at least 30 years with their franchise gimmick.
>>63182456
You do know where you are right now, right?
>>63182435
FIRST OF ALL HOW DARE YUO LIKE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T FIT THE CONTRARIAN WORLD VIEW! WE ONLY LIKE KINOS AND CINEMAS AROUND HERE! NOT GRIMY FLICK BOOKS!
>>63182464
How did they set cinema back 30 years though? Care to explain?
Aside from the fourth film they're pretty faithful to the book. Sure they cut out a lot of the excess stuff but they didn't change much.

>>63182491
Gimmick franchises. They lowered the bar of what could be considered good cinema since audiences would show up for the premiere all the same. Now we're stuck with endless capeshit, sequels, and remakes that we all just accept because it's been the norm for over a decade.
This began in the early 2000s, around the time Harry Potter came out.
>>63182629
There's plenty of independent movies coming out for you to shove up your ass son, there has always been franchise tier film, don't act like a fucktard who thinks that it's only occurred in the last 20 years. You have no actual perspective on movies nor their history, you're just a ball of hot air look for something to fill your daily hate need.
>>63182629
I don't think Harry Potter is at fault. It was clear from the beginning that each movie would only show the plot of one book. There were 7 books and a movie for each, save for the last one in which case there was too much shit but the decision was made not for profit but for quality.
Other franchises just make movies up as they go just to keep milking the franchise, without there being a plan for so many movies originally. If an franchise ruined cinema with endless sequels, it's the Fast and the Furious, which coincidentally came out the same year.
>>63182627
I know but everyone wants to have sex so being in your late teens and being a virgin really is a problem.
I know I'd be frustrated being the most popular guy at school and being a virgin.
>>63182666
Don't fucking try to tell me cinema has always been this way. The most anticipated movie of the last decade is Star Wars TFA. A franchise that was originally made to sell children's toys.
You really think it's always been this way? Capeshit is the McDonalds of cinema and it's more popular than it's ever been. Cheap studio garbage cranked out to reach the lowest common denominator and keep them coming back for Thor: The Hammer Rises.
It's a fucking joke.
>>63182741
You do know sword and sandal epics were the capeshit of the 50s and 60s, right pham?
>>63181995
>Worst Camus and memesiest Hugo at god tier
gets me every time
>>63182672
Fast and Furious is definitely complicit.
>>63182754
Not even close to the same thing. They might have been immensely popular, but at least they were good. At least compared to what we have now.
>>63182741
Western and peplums were the capeshit of the black and white era, along with sub-par musicals without notorious singers or dancers.
Overbuffed action movies and toy flicks were the capeshit of the 80s.
it has always ben like this, there has always been a lot of movies aimed towards the lowest common denominator ever since there has been an industry in charge with profit in mind.
>>63182741
m8 Cinema was absolute horseshit up until the 70s. Movies were cheap to produce and tons of them were being made. Back then they didn't really make sequels but they made movies that were so simillar they were essentially spiritual successors.
When the 70s began it had become much harder and much more expensive to have your movie make it to the silver screen but it's not like the following decades didn't have their own stupid trends.
Much like music, cinema has always been shit. What is mainstream is almost always shit, but sometimes, like in music, some are mainstream because they're just that good.
>>63182804
>but at least they were good.
I wonder what leads a human mind to such levels of a delusion
>>63182807
Again, hardly the same thing. This level of mediocrity reaches heights that would make golden era capeshit directors blush.
>>63182851
>At least compared to what we have now.
>>63182858
The age of western could compare, really.
We mostly remember the good ones and the ones that actually tried to do something and go somewhere, but it was just as formulaic and even less ambitious.
Same could be said about 80s action. Without the nostalgia goggles some have and aside from the couple that, again, knew what they were doing, it was just as horrible and repetitive.
>>63182741
I'll go on a limb here and assume you weren't alive back then. The reason you think movies back then were great is because the only ones you've seen are those that were so good that managed to remain relevant throughout the years instead of getting buried under time and being forgotten.
>>63182903
>>63182932
>you can't formulate an opinion on something you weren't alive to personally witness
name one western that's as bad as the green lantern
>>63182681
I don't know, I was never obsessed with sex in my teens.
>>63182967
I haven't seen the Green Lantern but The Quick and the Dead is pretty shit.
>>63182967
Do you have any comprehension of how many B and Z level Westerns were churned out during the Davy Crockett boom? Fuck you're retarded.
>>63183028
mid 90s, doesn't count. also NOWHERE near as bad as TGL.
>>63183032
name one that's worse than lantern
>>63182967
Literally any western that is
>in black and white
>not produced by one of the big three (WB, Paramount, Universal)
There is no point in trying to get names, 75% of the production was sub-par, that's why it is forgotten.
Green Lantern is bad to you because you are familliar wih the formula it follows and it does not take any risk at all, it does not stand out through its characters, visuals or Dialog. Same thing used to happen with western, peplum, spy movies, action-hero, buddy-cop, etc.
In a couple decades, nobody will remember most of the superheroes movies of the past 10 years and wonder why these movies sold so well. The same we you can wonder why some completely generic movies made millions (see some borderline exploitation like the River of No-Return that made millions only by having Marlyn Monroe)
>>63183083
>name one that's worse than lantern
The Alamo with John Wayne, DOA piece of shit.

>>63183411

>>63183368
oh yeah
>>63183426
Most of it is shit, but there are some gems.
>>63183388
I kind of did. it looked good. That's about it. A lot of movies look good. Infact most of the movies that come out nowadays look really good, they just all look the same.
And I did like some of the visuals of TGL when they are on the Lantern's planet, meet all kinds of aliens, etc. Some of the creature designs were not bad, especially for background characters that just show up for half a second.
>>63183425
Jonah Hex, Ang Lee's Hulk, the first two Fantastic Four Films (especially Silver Surfer), Daredevil just to name a few.
>>63183499
The mid 2000s were clearly the dark age of capeshit.
>Daredevil
>Hulk
>Catwoman

>>63183530
Studios didn't know what to do with the franchises and the idea of a shared universe wasn't even in anyone's thought process considering how companies like Marvel had sold the rights to all their films to a bunch of different companies. Forgot about Catwoman, that was a trainwreck that ruined Halle Berry's career basically.
>>63183566
>Catwoman was almost a first attempt at shared universe, could have been a sequel to Batman Returns
Had this happened, the age of Capeshit could be over by now due to audience boredom.
>>63182362
Because besides all the wizardry shit, it's relatable. Every high school had their Draco's, Harry's, Snape's and the like. It's also does a good job of transitioning from child-like to grim setting as the people who grew up to (young) adult transitioned with HP.
Can't people watch or read Harry Potter without getting criticised? The writing is in no way amazing or exceptional, but she knew how to write a book that children would love for more than a decade now. No harm in watching something just because it's fun
>>63183705
Be careful with the 'F' word, kids around here think it's the death of cinema on the whole.
Was thinking about marathoning it while overhauling servers today
Should I skip the first one? I barely remember anything about the series but I remember the first one being boring as fuck after they establish everything
