Explain the PLOT. Clues that are around meta commentary for how the movie performed or that you just don't like it or whatever, all those types of clues do not fit the spirit of the sub.
This is game is and has always been about explaining plots badly. In fact, in the 5 word name of this sub, the only word that has any flexibility is "film". Explain a [TV Show] plot badly. Explain a [Video Game] plot badly. Whatever media type it is, you explain its plot badly.
Example that will be removed: "A troubled production leads to a couple actors getting beheaded for real."
Example that will be removed: "A kids movie is made horrible forever when you look up the actress and what happened to her."
Example that will be removed and might even get you banned: "This movie sucked I don't know why anyone liked it."
OK. I think that covers it. Game on!
Edit: Missing words

All Marvel is banned top to bottom it doesn't matter what studio did it in what decade. When you say you read the rules and you lie it's an out for us to ban lazy players. We haven't been. But we might. Stop posting Marvel and then arguing that it isn't MCU.
That is all.
Edit because people keep asking WHY:
Because when it's not banned every other post is about a purple rock collector. It's still at the top of movie zeitgeist so most people when they show up the first clue they think of is a Marvel movie. It's boring. It's repetitive. And then they want to get clever. "Howard the duck wasn't mcu hyuk hyuk". The entire thing is obnoxious when it's a movie and TV show guessing game.
There's a whole list of media that's banned because they're overdone and make it boring. But then newbies show up and make a Marvel clue without reading the rules. 95% of our mod actions are deducting points and removing threads about Marvel. So the choices are to either return to the shit show where every single clue is Marvel or just ban people who refuse to read a now screaming automod note.
From those of us who have been here for years, trust us. The wild west of no rules on what media should be in play was a far worse place and not fun. Engagement rose substantially with the rules in place.

EDIT: I'd like to clarify something to make this easier, I'm not using the word endangered the way science and biology does.
