Police Brutality and Systematic Violence: How Athena 2022 Uses a Complex and Real Situation as a Successful Plot Guide

Romain Gavras is known for his great visuals and gruesome, but somewhat real depiction of violence, as it was previously critiqued in No Church in the Wild (Kanye West & Jay Z) and Born Free (M.I.A.) Music Videos. Gavras’ latest work, Athena 2022 does not disappoint, and from the very start we, as the audience, are dragged deeper and deeper into the Parisian slumps, where riots against police brutality and racial profiling quickly evolves into straight up terrorism. In other words, this film encapsulates a real issue that affects society nowadays, using parallelisms with other hate crimes around Europe and the US.

Marvel Continues to Disappoint

How is it possible for one of the biggest production companies of all time to continue underperforming so badly? Thor: Love and Thunder 2022 is easily one of the worst superhero movies this year, really as bad as they come. I personally think that this is the direction that most of the upcoming Marvel projects will be headed due to their lack of attention to detail, and wanting to achieve a large number of releases on a very tight schedule.
