"What genres can we combine with superhero?"

Personally, I can't wait for the Doctor Strange 2 horror movie.

There are two super hero horror movies being made right now, in fact!

This is still kind of weird, though.

There are?

What's the other one than New Mutants?

Also they already did romcom with superheroes before. Uhh... My Super Girlfriend or something.

It feels like the Ant-Man franchise exists only as a series of dares made by Marvel executives.

"I bet you can't make a movie about an ant themed superhero as a romantic comedy and have it be successful."
"It's on, bitch!"

I mean, I can't wait for the scene at the end where Ant-Man has to run to the airport before Wasp can take off with her new boyfriend.

The original Thor was a romantic comedy too. Nothing new here.

It's probably why I still haven't gotten bored with them

There's definitely a formula but they touch on different genre stuff enough to keep things interesting. The change in tone between Thor 2 and 3, or GotG and Civil War, or even Iron Man and Cap 1, to go way back, has been quite well-done.

I think they basically save "epic comic book action" for Avengers movies at this point come to think of it.

Thor 3 has plenty of comic book action.

I'm not even sure what to call Doctor Strange. I disliked basically everything in the movie except the visuals, which they obviously put a lot of effort into.

Eh Strange is still a "superhero movie", it's just a radically different one. It has all the story beats of a typical origin story, it's just on lsd

Like Deadpool. Deadpool is another origin story but done in a unique enough way to hide (but not eschew entirely) those trappings.

(Then again Deadpool doesn't so much hide them as shove the tropes right in your face, but that's sort of how they hide it.)

Well, Civil War, which admittedly had most of the Avengers in it.

I would like a bit more drama in these films, I'll be honest.

Homecoming was basically a traditional comic book movie / black panther also seems to be looking that way

idiots complain about how thor 3 and gotg 2 aren't serious enough, but there's a reason the formula hasn't gotten old yet.

Isn't Ant Man 2 actually "Ant Man & Wasp"?

It makes perfect sense as a RomCom.

At least until Ant Man starts beating her <_<

Yes, I know that was Hank but still

I've seen a gif that proves that was a great romance.
