The best of Hollywood ... more boring comic book movies for the SFB adult children.

I’m over 18, so I rarely attend comic book films, especially now.

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.

I get this feeling we will not see any of this dreck, even after it is on Netflix.

iPhag generation crap, through and through. The audience will be lit up by their little screens of life through the whole movie.

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.

Sign o’ the times. People don’t have or want merely human superheroes anymore. They’re too disillusioned to believe in them. Everyone seems to be into manifesting their darkest, most depraved side. Movies aren’t telling human stories because humanity is in the toilet. Superhero movies are pure escapism. Bread and circuses for a world gone mad.

Just an observation: most of the comments here start off with a declaration that the writer hasn’t gone to a movie in decades. And then they state they would like to see more movies that address wholesome values.

There have been plenty of serious movies, addressing all sorts of wholesome values. And no one went to them.

So, why would any producer make a movie that won’t be profitable. The Hallmark channel is full of that crap.
