Eh, May's a mainstream UK conservative. She just feels bound by the fact that the English are a load of racist, sheep-fucking pricks.

I'm so glad that Marvel realized "Wait a second — we have Chris Hemsworth, and the Thor movies haven't been buddy comedies? Gotta fix that."

…why would Prince of Egypt or Chicken Run need "defenders"?

If that's your standard, check out Everybody Wants Some!!

I unabashedly love Everybody Wants Some!!, so I might just have a greater tolerance for deeply plotless movies than you do, haha.

The visual approach of the whole movie is directly informed by the fact that the depicted events are a story, though.

Dude. A 75% critics score on RT is very divisive for an Oscar-bait movie.
