In the olden days such superhero movies would be B&W Budget films, designed to fill the bottom half of a drive in double feature with HERCULES AND THE WOMEN FROM VENUS.

Today they are given top budgets and class A billing and special effects.

We young are truly living in an age of fantasy.

It’s the Jaws/ Star Wars revolution. That’s when Hollywood learned that if you put A effort into B movies they could become blockbusters. Good arguments can be made that it ruined cinema, but it’s also a lot of fun.

Better they make movies about amazon princesses than miserable college professors being miserable in mundane ways. At least in my book.
