This is fair. I mainly take issue with how theory culture overcomplicates and misses the point of media.
Too often it focuses too hard on piecing together a puzzle, rather than the appreciating whole picture and what it's saying; the "no meaning, only lore" idea that killed Twin Peaks for 25 years.

it’s how media literacy is formed. By looking into themes and patterns that may be there and make connections. They may not always be right, but that’s part of the enjoyment of media. The issue doesn’t come with theorizing, it comes with entitlement.
