Who's to say what's good or not. What's great, what's stellar, what's amazing? 'Society' is the easy answer but, I'm not even sure that's an answer. 'Critics' is the popular answer, although I don't know anyone who's ever listened to and agreed with one. 'We do' is the best answer, but it doesn't satisfy the greater problem of collective agreement.
No, I think good is just good. And great is great and amazing is amazing. Yeah, to each his own but, the fact of the matter is, most comic book fans loved The Avengers, most cooks love Wolfgang Puck and most men love Halle Berry. Not because someone told them to, but because those things are just GOOD.
What makes them good are the little things. It's always the little things. The way Halle tips her head back when she laughs; the way Wolfgang uses just a hint of Sherry, nothing more; the way the Hulk smiled when Steve Rogers said "SMASH!"; at the end of the day, it's always the little things.
Maybe that's God in the Details, then.
