The scaling of the vertical axes is bugging me :(

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

I was wondering how I'd missed so many sci fi movies until I saw your comment...

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Oh I didn't even notice that. Yeah, that's bad.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah. That's just awful. Wow.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The lack of decades on every x axis other than the bottom bothers me. This is not a cool guide.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 9 points 4 months ago

Normally that indicates that all the x axis are the same. If that's not true here, then that's an issue. But I don't see any indication that it's not.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

The axis being so far away, even if they are all the same, makes it difficult for the reader to line up where the peaks are, though some are easy to get from contextual clues (~1945 for War movies for example).

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah. Good point. I've seen this with just two stacked graphs and not minded. But it makes the trends in the top graphs here pretty inaccessible.

Blazing Saddles came out in 1974 and practically killed a genre.

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

So which category are the marvel/"every obscure comic character gets their own file series" films?

Fantasy? Thriller?

[-] makuus@pawb.social 5 points 4 months ago

MCU should probably get its own graph, which starts as a line going straight up.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Action

[-] Exeous@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

What different thriller/horror? They same?

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 15 points 4 months ago

One of them has zombies, the other has zombies that dance.

[-] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

Both contain Vincent Price

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

"Psycho" is a thriller. "Halloween" is horror.

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 4 points 4 months ago

Think of thrillers more like rollercoaster rides - they’re fun because they’re exciting and sometimes scary

Horror is more like haunted houses, they’re fun because they’re scary, which is sometimes exciting

This is the interesting thing about genres - they’re often abstract and can blur definitions easily. The same way we don’t consider a hot dog or a pop tart a sandwich, even though you can often find the definition of a sandwich in each.

[-] The_Worst@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Horror is blood and gore. Thriller is scary (ghosts etc) but no (or only little) blood.

[-] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Friday the 13th vs gone girl.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 4 points 4 months ago

Can you please slow down with the reposted drivel? This one even got removed by the mods on Reddit, FFS!

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

Now do a heatmap of jaccard indices

[-] Nounka@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I wish they would make some new good westerns. It is like all new stuff that is made is so 'remake' or 'next number'.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
