rather than marvel, who is just making movie adaptions of their own material.

Are most comic book films actual adaptations of their source material? I was under the impression that most of the time they weren't.

No there wasn't.

Most of the movies listed here aren't intended to be quality films for adults?

No, it's doing well because it's one of the best movies to come out this year.

I'm not denying that, at least amongst mainstream releases.

So you've only seen one of the Marvel movies leading up to The Avengers and you're still gonna complain about it being a cash-in? Totally makes sense.

I shouldn't have to see a movie to have some understanding of the industrial factors that allowed it to get made. A cash-in isn't necessarily bad.

I understand what you're trying to say, but hoping The Avengers does bad regardless of quality is kind of silly.

I never said I hoped it did bad, just that it dissapointed and wasn't a massive hit. I don't care about its creation so much as what it will encourage other studios to do. I'm going to go see it anyway for someone's birthday.
