Can we PLEASE stop pretending explosions are aesthetically pleasing?

Seriously, Valor Lens, you need to call out the DP's (Directors of Photography) who think slow-motion shrapnel is the height of poetic cinema. We get it, war is tragic—but every third frame being a sun flare off a dying soldier's helmet while soaring strings play is just getting tedious. Do a video dedicated to ranking the worst offenders for 'Glamorizing Grimness.' Start with that one scene from *Pearl Harbor* where Ben Affleck looks sad while the CGI docks burn. That movie was a national disaster, and not just the historical one.
