    The Marvel garbage made it safe and easy for the film industry to make bank. No one wants to take risks on original stories now. It’s too easy to just recycle the same plot and characters and cash big checks now.

    So that’s why they get shit on. They raised the lowest common denominator in film to become the status quo. Poorly written nonsense with bright flashy explosions.

      Ah okay, I mean I buy that part too but I think that’s more investors and the film industry themselves to blame.

      I say that, but I also blame Apple for getting the industry on removing the SD card slot, headphone jack too. So I follow the same logic it seems.

      I also think Netflix and streaming have changed things. A lot more interesting shows are being streamed and we likely don’t hear about them either with the market segmentation on different platforms. There’s a chance more people would go to the cinema to watch more “spectacle” or “events”. I think that’s kinda been shown because the MCU has been throwing bomb after bomb up until Deadpool and Wolverine.
