Weird to see the proliferation over the years of think-pieces on the lack of libido in mainstream film. They act like it’s evidence that America is dead from the waist down – as if people can’t just go watch sex whenever they want, without having to share the experience with an auditorium full of people. Depictions of sexuality have just become more private, that’s all.
It’s not just about sex, it’s about lack of sexual tension or sensuality if you prefer to call it that. Zendaya and Tom Holland are actual couple but their on-screen chemistry as MJ and Peter Parker doesn’t hold a candle to Sam Raimi movies.

Just one example among many.
