Do people actually like these movies? Besides children and redditors. Are these now like those Adam Sandler Movies that he makes to launder money and to hang out with his friends who have no real relevance anymore?
I enjoyed the first wave where they had no idea what they were doing yet, so Captain America was kind of a spy movie and Thor was E.T. But Hot. Once they settled in on a formula, it became impossible to give a damn.
Honestly I think the main market for these movies is people who say "let's go to a movie" and then have no idea what's coming out so they just look at what's currently playing and they pick the thing that they figure is the most safe bet.
that's for theaters, when it's streaming slop the main market doesn't matter because people are rarely actually watching what they're streaming that's why Netflix now mandates that you restate the plot of the film multiple times to make sure people can follow along.
I had a friend who loved them and she'd make me go see every one and I'd find ways to make myself incredibly drunk before heading into the screening.
Watching a movie? Nah, don't have the attention span.
Spend multiple hours squatting on the floor programming microcontrollers? Yes!
I'm not a Sandler fan but I respect that grift much more than I do whatever Marvel is doing
At least those gave us Dunkaccino
idk I'm sure my cousin loves them, he's got a comic book collection that's worth buy a house money. The only super hero movies I ever found enjoyable was sam rami's spider-man, dredd, first couple of x-men flicks. Back before these movies started with the shared universe shit and you had to do homework in watching other movies, to follow along. Oh an Blade, Blade 2 also, can't forget those, probably the best marvel movies.
I'm really glad the fandoms I'm interested in are like, that one small book series by a perfectly average writer, the Rats of NIMH, and some of the older Call of Duty's. Stuff that's pretty cheap to get into.
This one guy I know has a similar flavor of autism to me, and he has a bunch of Warrior Cats stuff, especially the books. And Warrior Cats has a LOT of books in it.
Lol these are the same Marvel movies that I like. I also did enjoy the Hulk 2003 and the Punisher 2004. With DC stuff I think the old stuff is mostly good or ok, I just really hate Zack Snyder and Gal Gadot. The new Superman movie was cool too.
The first rwo Blade films were pretty solid.
This two are good because they are also vampire movies, vampire + action is a rare genre of movies.
And the third one sucks because of deadpool. I can't watch more than 10min of the movie.
Fun Fact; Blade Trinity was supposed to promote a spin-off movie called Nightstalkers with Hannibal (the deadpool actor) and Abigail as the main characters. It didn't work out because no one liked those characters and the movie was bad.
It's good to see someone finally give Morbius its flowers
Why say children twice
I watch it cuz I like superpowers and fantasy. I also like those "character X power scenes compilation" on youtube. It's empty entertainment, if it was smart I probably wouldn't like it. Sometimes you just need something dumb and visually stimulating to catch your attention for a while. I'll also watch movies and shows if there's a really hot guy in the cast or if there's a lot of overacting. That movie with the alien soap bubble and the mutant bear screaming help is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time just for the visuals, I watch it from time to time but I can't even remember the name. That's how little I care about movies.
When I want to watch visually stimulating images, I just watch random speedruns cranked at 2x speed. Marvel slop isn't even that good as visual stimulation.
