I do not like comic book movies.
I quite liked them at first but how many do we need? It's become so over saturated and I've long burned out of the genre.
They're just so tired
It’s funny because people were talking about how they were bad before they even got really big.
I remember a “Every Frame A Painting” episode talking about how their scores are basically rubbish (this was specific to marvel). Similarly about their bland color palettes, repeated story lines and CGI sky monster endings. I think in hindsight it will be a little cringe.
Spielberg and Lucas were on the money when they compared them to Westerns, and I’ve always wondered if there’s a sociological phenomenon buried in there. Some sort of nostalgic cultural ideal that gets seeded in one generation to sprout a generation or two later?
Not the person you replied to, but I doubt it personally. Usually "comics" refers specifically to the western Marvel/DC stuff, not Japanese manga where things are very different (from an outsider's perspective like myself anyway)
