They say that ‘sex sells’, but if that’s true, why has it practically disappeared from modern Hollywood filmmaking? It wasn’t always this way: romantic scene...
tl;dr: capeshit/MCU/nerds/streaming killed sex in movie theaters.
I liked the brutal decapitation scene and the following “this brought us no satisfaction or closure” scenes, the first 10 minutes of endgame were great, right until Ant-Man appeared and ruined the movie
I’d be down with more intimacy and romance and consensual sex scenes between adults enjoying it.
The outlet of P R E S T I G E T V being as violent and edgy a spectacle as possible is a sort of puritianism with extra steps; it’s saying that if there’s sex it may as well be as violent as possible.
It’s a continuation of having sex scenes in old horror movies so people could be titillated by the sex, then, idk, have their god bothering reaffirmed when the monster murders the teen sex havers.

It’s the justification of Puritanism. Gotta be pure or you’re a god less sinner with no control
american puritanism is truly baffling, decapitating someone and then saying a one-liner is well-adjusted shit but god forbid someone see a breast
edit: remember that anything queer also gets put, meritlessly, into the “sexual” category

If you’re not David Lynch, don’t do sexual violence.
