MossGrowsOnNormanRuins@defcon.social@AppleAmps imo its kind of hard to do it objectively, eg for films it's not just that directors toolkits are objectively better and more diverse now, allowing them to do a wider range of things, but that fashions and styles change over time, so fir getting into films properly i started with silent films and spent several weeks watching through a load of the big ones before going onto the 1930s amd so on to give me a sense of persoective on them. A lot of the time people go straight into wathcing casablanca or joan of arc from marvel films and are just immediately put off by the cultural gulf between what they're used to and the context these artworks existed in

That is entirely true but I think I'd make a distinction here between analyses and the kind of "is A better than B?" relative evaluations you usually see for stuff like games, though obviously it exists for movies, music, and the like too.
To understand and analyze a piece by itself you do obviously have to meet it where its at, temporally speaking, but when you're trying to relate it within the greater context of its medium I think some level of detachment is necessary to be able to compare how separate works do similar things. When discussing art doing anything objectively is hard but at least for me it's been way more useful to have a single analytical framework per medium than try to adapt what norms and principles I use depending on, like, the circumstances something was made in.
I guess this does just originate from me being most knowledgeable about games, though. Like, as an artistically capable artform they've only been around for ~50 years so it figures that there'd be less time for that cultural gulf to form like it has with film.
