TV shows & movies summarised in a single paragraph or less. A thread.
The Flash: let's go in the hallway & talk about our feelings. Also someone has an issue. Keeps it secret, the secret is revealed, they solve the problem, promise to never keep secrets again and then repeat the cycle. Also villain runs off screen, Barry ,"Dang he got away!"

Captain Marvel: girl with no emotions whatsoever constantly being told throughout the movie to control her emotions
Aquaman: basically little mermaid only the handsome Prince is chasing the red head
Fast & Furious: Over-qualified mechanics who think they're spies & superheroes who just don't know when to stop racing
Captain America 1: skinny patriot gets super steroids & goes to fight super Nazis.
I Am Legend: 2020 before we even knew it was 2020
Arrow: a guy who fights crime with a bow & arrow because it fits his aesthetic when clearly guns & conventional weaponry would be far far far more efficient. Also every season he loses a close friend/teammate who's conveniently replaced by the next season. Also flashbacks galore
Black Panther: what Americans think all Africans sound like. Also son suffers for the sins of the father & has to fight the cousin from the diaspora who has an accent & doesn't understand tradition

Get Out: Don't mess with white folk. Don't walk in white neighbourhoods. Don't stay for tea at white houses. Don't go to white places that are up in secluded mountainside areas. Date black, you live longer. Finally "you know who don't do that?✋🏾👈🏾"
The Last Airbender: it's the Avatar:TLA your mom tells you is at home. & it doesn't just have the 4 elements but includes the 5th rare & special one only found in Hollywood known as racebending. All the villains are either Indian or Asian & the good guys white.
