The best of Hollywood ... more boring comic book movies for the SFB adult children.
Please don’t screw up The Crow Reborn. Please.
I’m over 18, so I rarely attend comic book films, especially now.
Enough of the a Super Hero movies.
You can have decent drama in Hero movies.
You can ask profound questions in Hero movies.
You can explore Good and Evil in Hero movies.
All of that is nice.
But we don’t actually have a lot of movies about how to be Human. How to make a marriage. How to raise kids. How to be good at your job. People want excitement and explosions and cosmic fluctuations from Beyond. That doesn’t help us build a better society.
Look around. Almost no one is living in reality. Almost no one is actually raising the next generation. There are a lot of people completely adrift today — young and old.
Enough with the Comic Book movies. I’m a long-time nerd, and I have over a thousand comic books in my basement. Many science fiction movies on DVD. Large book collection, a good portion of which is science fiction. But I look around I see people who don’t distinguish reality from fantasy very well, and don’t have a handle on personal responsibility. Everybody wants to a victim. Everybody wants someone magical to show up and rescue them.
Too much fantasy in the world today.
iPhag generation crap, through and through. The audience will be lit up by their little screens of life through the whole movie.
Glass? Is that a sequel to Unbreakable?
No Black Panther???
And I know there is a Black Widow in the works.
Is this list complete?
Here are the ones I plan to see on that list.
Let me know when they can make a Movie that will explain the last two Alien Movies.
Heck, even that weird Alien 3 made sense leading into Alien 4.
All the heroes offered up today are anything but. Why would I even want to know about these stupid movies?
Yep. Also a sequel to Split, since the final scene of that movie established that they're in the same universe.
It’s amazing that people aren’t tired of these movies yet.
WHAT??? No “Mighty Mouse”? Say it isn’t so.
“Here he comes to save the day”.
BOSCH
Where’s the sense of wonder in this stuff. Comic books on film, ffs. There are so many great science fiction stories that do incorporate that sense of wonder and explore the human condition. I’ll take SyFy Channels series The Expanse over any of that.
How about Larry Nivens “World of Ptavvs”? Or Ringworld?
Any of the late, great Iain M Banks work would be incredible.
But no. Comic book crap. Endlessly recycled.
