I moved to headphones in my new place because the furnace/ac is so loud. It’s kinda game changing, don’t need subtitles, can walk away and still hear things.

Tenent is watchable with headphones

Spider-Man: Into The SpiderVerse is great with ‘em.

Mrm.. no. He is repeatedly anti-establishment. He hasn't bent any genres. He does homage to mystery movies.

He looks at an established order and points out the hypocrisy and dirty truths of that order, be it upper-class north-easterners, centuries old established religious orders, or new-age tech-bro billionaires.

Lots of people don't like tweedy people pointing out the flaws in the world they have vested interests in. Lots of people want to see the toughest person win because they're the toughest person. How many 'who's the strongest avenger' posts do we get here?

Rian Johnson is a treasure because he questions the system. He's also a bit tiring once you realize this because he always puts this spin on things. There's nothing wrong with it, but it feels like he's painted himself into a corner creatively.
