On the one hand, it feels like a very positive development that we can now think of super hero movies on the level of the ben hur reboot. But on the other hand, I don't know if it makes up for the degradation we've seen in the state of jay's hair

It’s a shame we aren’t getting a Sidney Sweeney Spider-Woman movie now.

You know honestly that on the face of it sounds so much more appealing that a Madame Web movie it’s odd they decided to start with Madame Web.

I don't think there's any super hero movie left at this point where, if it didn't happen, I would say it was a shame. The genre has been exhausted, there has been enough

Super Hero movies aren't dead until Mel Brooks makes a genre parody about them. He better get to work quick or we're gonna be stuck with them forever.

Soon.

the most annoying thing about the "comic book movies are dead" groupthink is that Joker 2 and Deadpool 3 will make a shitload and the narrative will change again. we do not live in a good enough world for comic book movies to be dead

The other studios are still making somewhat-watchable comic book movies. Sony's trying their best to kill the trend dead but Disney is too powerful in its mediocrity to be defeated.

Disney needs to plan ahead and create the Marvel Vault.

I'm interested to see if James Gunn can turn it around at DC.

I think Marvel is completely exhausted and will sputter out. But the studios that have been sputtering from the start still have tread on their tires. If Sony had a non-idiot to run things, they've got X-Men, Fantastic Four. Instead they've been doing these dipshit Spider-Man Without Spider-Man movies because they let that first Venom movie trick them into thinking it could be done.

the TOS music kicks rear end, especially the fight theme tune.
As much as I love the later TNG seasons, I did not love the sonic wallpaper score.

Yeah Rick Berman firing Ron Jones and imposing wallpaper music on the rest of the series and the whole franchise was a huge let down. Whenever I’m the-watching TNG, the change in music is really jarring, the show just feels much more bland even when the writing is firing on all cylinders.

X-men and FF are Fox/Disney. The reason Sony keeps doing spider poo poo is because it's all they got. Literally.


edit: Gunn is saying the right things but when your boss is a dude who hates anything that isn't reality TV, I don't have high hopes at all.

I think GotG 3 kind of showed that Gunn’s special magic may have run dry, it was a bit of a slog and retread a lot of the previous themes in his movies etc. I didn’t love it anyway. 1 and 2 were great.

That said Peacemaker the show was fantastic fun.

Oh I thought Sony had bought those decades ago before Marvel started their own studios.

So Fox had them forever and now Disney has them because they bought the Fox TV/movie divisions?

The alternative is for someone to create the Airplane! of superhero films and kill the entire genre dead.

No, Superhero Movie does not count. Also jfc, Craig Mazin wrote and directed that piece of garbage!?

Many have tried to parody super heroes and it doesn't work. There's nothing too stupid for super heroes. The attempted parody will just be consumed like all other media.

I’m watching The Marvels. I kinda just assumed that the movie would re-introduce Kamala Khan to audiences that hadn’t seen the Disney+ show.

But no, they fully expect everyone to have already watched the streaming Ms. Marvel series before they watched this new 200 million dollar blockbuster.

That might be the single greatest act of hubris in cinematic history.
