I feel like Anders hasn’t clearly identified that his biggest issue with WA movies is that everyone has a flat emotional affect. Seems like that’s the bush he keeps beating around, but hasn’t explicitly said it.

His style makes every other movie seem more real. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Coen brothers, who are also quirky, Lynch, who is weird, or popcorn Marvel movies, no one beats Wes Anderson in levels of fake.
realism is just one of many modes of representation in art. it’s no better or worse than any other — it simply has a different set of conventions.
put another way, all of this shit is fake, most of it is entrenched in an industrial system that is wildly removed from most realities, and the end result is a projection on a giant screen in a dark room
No one said otherwise. With Wes Anderson it is clearly on purpose.
Wreck-It Ralph clearly doesn't go for the realism route, yet still it's a great movie. La vita è bella is all too real, but yet it wraps this horrible topic into a comedy with an almost magical twist to it. When I consider a Wes Anderson movie to be poor, it's for a mixture of reasons, not simply because it looks the way it does.
you're right. i was misreading what is really just a descriptive statement.
