I thought that Ironman, Captain America, Batman, and the first Wonder Woman were entertaining. The newer stuff is trash.

Liberals cannot help themselves. They are so convinced of the virtues of liberalism that they do not learn from their destruction. It is always because it was us that refused to learn from their wonderfulness.

Once they discover something is popular the left decides to turn it into a vehicle for their agenda.

THE MESSAGE < /drinker>

[discostu]

Disaster for the human race?! Because a subsection of exploitation movies are a big chunk of the industry?! Jaws and Star Wars moved exploitation movies from the grindhouse to the tent pole. That’s 50 years ago. Everything since then is fluctuation in which KIND of exploitation movie is it. Space movies, slasher flicks, dinosaurs, super heroes, spy movies. Doesn’t matter. They’re just exploitation, the thing movies are best at.

“Why Did Superhero Movies Get So Bad? “

well, to start with, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, if you’ve seen one of ‘em, you’ve seen ‘em all ...

[Major Matt Mason]

It isn't just the the superhero movies that are bad, but the source material (modern comic books) is, as well. Both Hollywood and the comic book industry have been taken over by woke SJWs who have no clue how to create an interesting and/or entertaining movie/TV show/book. But, they do have a clue when it comes to pushing their political views on viewers/readers. The reality is that the SJW hacks could care less about these characters and the sometimes decades-worth of material that has been built up around the characters, and they instead use them as avatars for their political views.

We know what the gang at Red Letter Media would say.

Dumbing down of the masses. From gunslingers that can’t miss, to superheros that hide half of their face and no one has a clue who they are (just a pair of glasses is all Clark Kent needed, lol). Their voices don’t change, except for the Hulk. Following Batman to his hideout? No one does that, except maybe the villian.

More recently you’ve got Mr Downey, a short man that somehow fits in a armored suit that makes him a foot taller, with no issues at the knees, elbows, and other points of flexibility. Many of his collisions in battle should leave his brains with massive hemorrhage. It goes on and on.

I saw the first Superman movie of Christopher Reeve (1978?), then nothing until seeing clips of some of these movies in the last 20 years. Hollywood has little money off of my wife and I for over 40 years.

[Sirius Lee]

As campy as the Christopher Reeves Superman is, I can still toss it in the DVD player and watch it now and then. Plus that music!

[wally_bert]

I prefer the animated Batman and Superman TAS along with Justice League cartoons.

[Southern Magnolia]

We can sum this up by saying big budget movies controlled by multi-corporations are pushing the “woke” agenda.

You could just as easily make a broad statement like “the death of the adventure movie” or death of the science fiction, action, western, etc as “superhero” movie. There’s nothing essentially wrong with these heroic action tales so long as they aren’t treated with deconstruction and cynicism.

The controlling interest doesn’t believe in heroes. Their goal is pushing an agenda.

Lets make everyone a fag and see how it turns out!

I’m in my 70’s and 90% of my favorite movies are from the 50’s and 60’s. Recently for the first time I watched the “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy and I thought they were great.

[Alas Babylon!]

I liked the original Star Wars and Lord of the Rings movies, but the successors ruined it. First Jar-Jar Binks and baby Anikin, then Kathleen Kennedy and her politicization of fem dumb with Ray, Emo Kylo and shamed Luke... then the Hobbit trilogy with the red head she elf who wasn't even in the books.

Just stop already. Stop ruining masterpieces, go do something else...

Sislel and Ebert said it several years back.

The early movie makers were raised on great literature and made movies of great literature.

Today’s movie makers were raised on comic books.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Because they are Nazi, Commie and LGBTQDisney propaganda.

[Steve Van Doorn]

I've been watching "The Tick" on amazon it was freaking great.
They shut it down likely because it didn't have homosexuality or trans people. Not even a sys gen female that hates males in it. They can't have that!!

[Trailerpark Badass]

Do adults not read books anymore?

[minnesota_bound]

In the movie, Barbie pulled down Ken’s pants and found out he was not a conservative as he was er... not anatomically correct.
