I don’t see how Superhero movies are any worse than most hollywood garbage. At least they (generally) portray heroes in a positive light.

Very much for adults, not kids:

“I grew up in the 60s when Marvel Comics just started and were light years better than DC”
I agree. see post 57 on what I did with my paper route money buying up Marvel comics beginning in 1961.

So we’re supposed to dwell on the negative all the time?
Who the hell are they to tell me what to do with my time.

That is very interesting, here in Dallas we had something called "Action Theater" back in the day, 25-30 years ago, that is where I got my first taste.
I lurve me some Zatoichi, man ...

I like comic book movies, but I hated Deadpool. Should have walked out. Terrible sex and language. Awful!

I enjoyed Coleson’s (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)snip about “It would be nice if, for once, Thor and his people sent down the god of cleaning-up-after-yourself.”

Oddly the Marvel series of movies are not all that politically correct. The first Avengers movie was very good without a bunch of PC garbage. Ironman 1 is definitely not PC by todays standards.
Marvel took a shot with Deadpool with it’s R rated laugh a minute politically incorrect dialoge and I thought it was great. Yeah
not for average FR poster but still he was damn funny. Deadpools opening gross beat any R rated movie in the history of R rated movies.

Yeah, both were fun to watch. I guess I should find some boring liberal dreck to watch instead to make the author happy.

Your kids are right to be wary about the Batman vs Superman movie. When the best thing about the movie is Islamophile Ben Affleck, you know the movie has to be total dreck.

Of course the postmodernist neo-Marxists hate comics. They represent everything they despise: Heroes and villains, good and evil, fantastic and unique people, romance, excitement, happy endings (sometimes).

Like Phineas Fogg they burned all the fittings on that steamboat to win the race.
The king of the gold asteroid took the earth that McDuck had place under homesick Donald’s feet, and generated it into his own planet with atmosphere, water, & life. Scrooge McDuck got the gold asteroid & felt shortchanged.

I have asked several millenials what their generation’s fascination with superheroes and zombies is about. Don’t think I’ve ever gotten a coherent answer.
I’m not feelin’ it myself.

My girlfriend in the 1970’s nearly dumped me because I couldn’t stomach Sylvia Plath’s OCD-laden verse.
She was a psychology major who turned Socrates’ observation about the unexamined life into “The overexamined life may not even seem worth living”.
Left her & married a math major who was later a CPA. Utter bliss.
