Again, isn't this "the youths these day" argument again with no data to back it up? I mean, to put a quick example, Tenet requires a level of attention that other movies don't require.

Also, from the movie it's not so obvious that shields only block fast things. To me it looked like they work like a strong fabric held by a force field, but that can be penetrated if enough force is applied.

I'm pretty sure one of the characters explicitly says near the beginning of the film that it's fast vs. slow that makes a difference.

It's not about the youth these days, it's about Hollywood -- the fact that Hollywood movies are more commoditized and generally "samey" than previously is a pretty well-known development. It's an industry thing, not a culture thing (or, well, it may be driven by cultural changes, but I don't entirely believe that, and don't want to speculate anyway).

> not so obvious that shields only block fast

It's literaly said so by one of the character in the same scence shields are introduced: "the slow blade penetrates the shield"
