I'm surprised that you say that there was a lot of hype when it was released. I remember seeing a lot of hype before it came out, but all of the discussion I saw when it was released was just complaints about the audio mixing and lack of character development.

For the record I like the movie as an action movie. I feel like it's at a similar quality to most of his Batman movies and Inception in that sense. I just don't think it was ever intended to be profound or particularly deep (outside of the standard complexity that comes with a time travel story)

It sucks for people who aren't able to get financial assistance from their family (I'm one of them) but this isn't nepotism. This is families doing what is necessary to get a first house in a lot of current housing markets. Nepotism would be if houses were only being sold to family members/acquaintances of the owners.

It's just a meme, since they're both highly anticipated movies with very different vibes releasing on the same day. I don't think most people are actually expecting them to compete (if anything, most of the jokes I see are about watching a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature). It's the same as the Doom Eternal/Animal Crossing jokes a few years back

A lot of subs have already gone dark (over 4000 as of now), you can see a live progress tracker on reddark.untone.uk if you want to watch 😊

I don't think RSS would work for that (it only seems to pull the content for the post itself, not the comments), but I've always used reddit-stream.com/ for live comments 😊 you can just take any link to a live thread (e.g. https://reddit.com/comments/145upmt/) and replace 'reddit' with 'reddit-stream' in the URL. It shows a live (updates every few seconds) feed of comments, and you can still comment if you link your reddit account.

That way you're still not on the reddit site or giving them ad traffic, and it's also a lot nicer to use as a bonus! I'd still prefer a fediverse alternative but it could be a good option for now
