Andrew_Jackson5 posted:Superhero movies have very long marketing cycles so people think about them throughout the year more often than they think of other genre action movies. The interconnected nature of the MCU and other worse cinematic universes also makes it so previous films stay in the public consciousness for longer. I mean, people are already trying to say they're sick of Star Wars because of how long the Force Awakens' marketing onslaught lasted. That makes sense. To me, every snippit of information just build excitement, every poster and trailer. I guess when you're not complete into all this poo poo it can get tiring. These other films that have a smaller marketing campaign come out more often but aren't as much in the public eye. I guess its less Superhero movie fatigue and more marketing fatigue.

Even when you're into this poo poo it can get tiring. I like posters and trailers, but the cottage industry of speculation over the tiniest scrap is pretty insane.

Gf and I just finished watching Suicide Squad for the first time. We can't believe it got released, it's SO bad. It like... didn't have character motivations. Or coherent editing. Or an act 2??

Also, exhibition practices should be considered as well, there's about ten films released a week and I'm lucky enough to live in a city (London) where I can pick and choose what I want to watch any week because there will be a cinema somewhere showing it. But, if you're in a small town with one cinema then when a new Marvel or DC is released then the screen estate is mostly taken up with viewings of that, so I can see how that can be frustrating if you are largely disinterested in super-heroes or even just blockbuster action. That said, home viewing is now easier and better than ever before, so I guess it's only a huge problem if you want the experience of going out to a film. I like super-heroes so I don't really find it a problem and through work and my own volition it is not unusual for me to see over 70 cinema releases in a year, so superhero films and the like take up a tiny percentage of that, but yeah, I can see someone being frustrated by them especially as it is becoming clear that they are never going away, at least not any time soon. There's normally more talking animal releases in any given year any way, so if you hate that as well then you are especially having a bad time.

I don't mind those becuase some are actually well done, it's the reaction videos I hate. It's always someone screaming their head off at every little thing or going so over the top it's just embarrassing to watch. It's just a loving trailer dude. Calm down.

I wonder if ancient Sumerian tablet critics warned about Gilgamesh-fatigue setting in. People with extraordinary abilities fiction is like the oldest form of human fiction, I don't think it's in danger.

Red Cunieform Media called Enkidu much more interesting than the protagonist, which has long been a problem in the SCU.

I mean, people are already trying to say they're sick of Star Wars because of how long the Force Awakens' marketing onslaught lasted. I was just thinking about Annihilation as the basis of a Marvels cross-over war type movie. In the comics it was Nova, Drax, Thanos, and the Guardians of the Universe, including a literal horde of F4 villains. How could you do that in the MCU? Guardians yeah, Thanos too, but maybe you'd have to set up a Nova movie (another origine movie, kinda boring), and generic insect bad guys I guess.

I would backdoor Nova into the 3rd Guardians movie and just make him one of the team. Bullshit does Nova get his own movie.

In some Fox X-Men related news: Simon Kinberg is now looking to direct the next installment of the main X-Men franchise, rumored to be titled X-Men: Supernova. Drew Goddard has joined Ryan Reynolds in putting the finishing touches on the Deadpool 2 script. Ryan Reynolds and Joe Carnahan are currently also working on a script for X-Force with Carnahan expected to direct. So right now we have Deadpool 2, X-Men: Supernova, New Mutants, and X-Force in various stages of development along with the Matt Nix X-Men series on Fox that will be part of the X-Men film universe. And then Legion which is its own thing. X-O fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Feb 23, 2017 |

The X-Men movies are so by committee I think they can just plug anyone in the day before if they wanted to. 4-5 months is plenty of time if someone else is writing.

McAvoy is the only confirmed cast member. The team is confirmed to be Magik, Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Sunspot, Mirage (Dani Moonstar) and Warlock but no casting has been announced.
