    I can’t stand super hero movies either. They’re all the same story. What’s the appeal? I don’t get it.

      When the early superman and batman movies came out, they were great. Even the first ironman was great for the time…the problem is they have been mass producing the same movie every year for the last 13? years.

      Easy to digest. It’s like the McDonald’s of movies. It’s certainly not the best culinary experience you can get, but at least it will please most people.

        Mmm… Some have been almost exactly the right film for the right time were very satisfying. It’s easy to say they are all simple and basic after it’s been a decade and they have printed out a hundred clones that all are the same but some truly were impressive.

        I still think the reverse hero’s journey following the villain complete the arc to confuse the pathos of Infinity War was pretty sweet way to avoid the bloated cast.

        And Iron Man was a great take on a flawed character that had a really great arc considering you are pretty much always meant to hate him a little and it was perfect casting.

        But now casting is done by who needs the press and who can bid the highest and it’s pretty much all garbage. But a decade ago… It was like getting an original McDonald’s burger and fries from 2 brothers who liked good burgers.

        And a good one is easy on the eyes. Nice things to see explode, neat uses for a super power, gymkata in a fight, really just seeing something on screen that would fit in a day dream.

      Sometimes they are far from the same movie and have expert cinematography. Being a superhero movie doesn’t automatically make something more prone to formula.

      Agreed. I like movies that give me something to think about. Superhero movies don’t give me anything except “Who will this guy punch next?”

      Scorsese said they were bollocks about 5 years ago

      Last year he won an Oscar, who the fuck gives a shit about the latest MCU movie today.
