Who are the two sub-nerds who do video game reviews? One of them is in other stuff and can be funny but there's like a bald alien dude who lacks character but maybe he's ok?

powerful sex moves posted:People with no sense of humor, such as the people posting in the thread devoted to comedy movie reviewers RedLetterMedia (who are also pretty sick of this poo poo, incidentally). I was waiting for this answer, they always say they like the movies and that they're competently made, they just have superhero fatigue which is understandable considering how many are being squirted out every year. Its why Jay and Mike have good opinions, and are funny, while you are not.

I agree with that though. They're enjoyable but I'm just real tired of them. A lot of people feel that way. edit: perhaps you are confusing me with the dude who is saying they're terrible movies and everyone who likes them is stupid?

You're not wrong though personally I think the blandness is more attributable to Hollywood's stranglehold on any hint of creativity. It would be easy to flesh these characters out into distinct figures but they won't because Hollywood doesn't know how to do that anymore.

Has anyone gone so far as to make a movie that is both fun and full of exciting action while at the same time isn't total garbage? Why can't things have the same tone and quality as say, Fifth Element?

Marvel superhero stuff on Netflix is honestly far, far, far better at this than in the movies. I think the lack of a huge budget means they don't have to, well as the guy said, fly up and punch a bunch of robots facing a blue light in the sky.

Commando is the best Arnold movie because he starts killing people like 10 minutes in and just never stops. Total Recall and Predator are great and all but they have a lot of buildup and not enough ruthless killing so they're not as fun to rewatch.

I was replying to the guy who said the only people who don't like Marvel movies are humorless jerks and I was just saying actually some of us are just tired of them? Totally unrelated but, finally saw Neon Demon the other night and it owned. Jay is right about everything always.

Chiming in with my opinion that nobody asked for to say that I'm also starting to waver in my enthusiasm for more Marvel movie stuff. I've enjoyed just about all of them and they were entertaining and fun movie experiences, but I find myself rarely wanting to watch them again. I like Guardians of the Galaxy but that's because it's a crazy space opera and I like the weird universe that it depicted. It looked a lot different from the other MCU movies, and it could've worked as its own thing that wasn't tied to the MCU. Doctor Strange looks interesting because it also looks a lot weirder and different from the usual MCU stuff. But as far as the "mainstream" MCU goes (Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, etc.), I'm getting a little over it. In their latest video, Jay and Mike speculated about how this year or the next will be the point where people start getting superhero fatigue. Jay seemed skeptical because people have been saying that for years now. But really it's been only the MCU movies that have carried this genre for so long. Before the first Iron Man movie came out in 2008, you probably would've predicted that the superhero craze was dying down because the third installments of the two most successful superhero movie franchises (the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies and the X-Men movies) had both been kinda lovely, and just about every other superhero movie that had come out over the past few years was also underwhelming (the Ang Lee Hulk movie, Daredevil, Catwoman, the Jessica Alba Fantastic Four movies, Superman Returns, Elektra), with the exception of Batman Begins. So in late 2007 you could've looked at all the superhero movies that had come out and been like "Yeah, this fad is starting to fade". And then the next year rolls around and Iron Man does gangbusters, followed by The Dark Knight which was tremendously successful, giving the superhero genre a shot in the arm. But since then, it's really only been the MCU that has been unambiguously successful, both critically and financially. Everything else is either getting critically panned or flopping outright, and the value of those IPs is dropping. I could be wrong but it seems like fewer and fewer people are excited for the next X-Men movie or the next DC movie. Fox has the Fantastic Four which is freaking useless at this point, and Sony is doing this Spider-Man movie with Marvel Studios in hopes of saving it. So without the MCU, the superhero movie fad would have gone away by now. And if people starting getting tired of the MCU brand, that's that.

If even nerds are thinking theaters are totally over-saturated with this poo poo we're probably at the tail end of a fad. Hollywood loves fads they can bank on and direct 100% of their energy towards, then once people get sick of that poo poo they'll declare the very concept of motion pictures are dying, probably due to piracy, until the next big cash cow fad comes out that they then miss the point as to why it was popular and commit to cargo cult produce 10 more over the next 5 years.

I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I hope they keep making those movies for so long they start making movies that are completely impenetrable unless you've seen the earlier movies. I want ABC to start making all their shows technically set in the Marvel Cinemantic Universe, even if there's usually no way to tell.

I think I read somewhere that Hollywood is trying to prep Videogame movies as the next big thing if it becomes clear that Comic movies are starting to die down. If that takes off you'll know for sure Movies are dead.
