To me the desexualization of mainstream movies is a wonderful trend. If I want to be sexually stimulated I'll watch porn. The "sex" in older movies has no payof

  It's a fake desexualization though. They're not showing anyone doing taxes, but they're also not showing extremely good accountants around the place or joke about the huge tax returns. That bare chest, preferably wet after the shower though, spotted by a woman across the room - obligatory. It's in other aspects of Marvel too. I actually really enjoyed it with Thor Ragnarok when they seemed to stop pretending it's not a stupid comedy with cartoon violence flavouring. Previous ones were "No, no, we're totally serious. Ignore that half the characters are here for comedy value."

    The key difference is ignorability. If you're not attracted to men you may not even notice that the camera lingers on his chest or she looks down before looking at his face. It also doesn't go on for minutes at a time. Maybe a woman is showing more cleavage that is normal, but the camera doesn't spend five straight minutes panning up and down her body. What exactly does five minutes of looking at grasping hands and contorted expressions contribute to the experience of a film, besides a convenient time to take a bathroom break?
