I’m still completely baffled by the modern trend of comic book movies serving as major societal guideposts for adults.
Movies are shot on video and edited like music videos these days. We are in a post cinema age with people watching outside the box.
And the “evolved” and “tolerant” audiences are put off by black and white films. And they’ll tell you the old kind of movies are too slow and BORING.

While I’m a comic collector and huge fan, I think the comic trend comes down to one major thing.
There is a lack of true writing in movies today.
With the comic movies there are nearly 80 years of stories to be delved into with minor modifications. Until the advent of CGI none of them made for any real visual appeal.
Science fiction was able to adapt easier through non-cgi and porto-western techniques, but the powers of the heroes required CGI to really come across.
Sometimes the modifications to the story lines are awkward because they don’t know or aren’t willing to delve into most of the back story. But 80s years of writing makes it a lot easier to come up with ideas then just waiting for someone to come along and making a guess.
