In my book, the very first stirrings began in the early ‘80s (i.e., tits and zits). Things got worse in the ‘90s, especially with the release of deplorable crap like Jan DeBont’s Speed 2: Cruise Control. But the most corrosive and definitive dumb-down began with the ascent of Marvel and D.C. in the early 20teens.
Things have been dumbing-down all over…
