please tell me how your stupid fucking comment relates.
I'll try to use smaller sentences so you can understand my point.

I'm using actual history as a parallel to explain how this person's ideas about the logic behind Tarantino's world makes no sense. He thinks we would become a society obsessed with movies because Hitler died in a theater. If this was a likely outcome, we'd all be experts on 19th century plays, since Lincoln died in a theater. My other point is that he also thinks that the hyperviolent end to Hitler would lead to a hyperviolent culture. However, the actual end to WW2 was violence several orders of magnitude greater than a movie theater full of people dying. So this logic would imply that we would be much more violent today than we actually are.

I realize that abstraction and analogy are concepts that the human brain doesn't learn to understand until late childhood, so if this still isn't making any sense, give it a few years.
