darkphoenix181 08/13/18 6:08:47 PM #1:	Kids today can come out as liking superheroes like spiderman and not be made in fun of. Brodudes unironically wear marvel merch to the gym. But if you walk in wearing a wizard hat you are a creep and weirdo. Like, no brodude takes his magic wand to the gym..........yet. --- chill02 to me: you are beautiful <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:906821967] in Will fanta...

LockeMonster 08/14/18 12:12:51 PM #14:	It became big enough but fizzled out by the time TDK came out and the MCU began with LotR, HP, Narnia, and the other movies that were coming out. Thus they didn't have a chance to get too far from the nerd culture. With TDK, Avengers and Winter Soldier, people saw that superhero movies can be done right and things blew up. --- "Scranton is great, but New York is like Scranton on acid. No, on speed. Nah.

Tyranthraxus 08/14/18 12:12:59 PM #15:	The problem with fantasy is you always end up with a lot of exposition which doesn't make for a good movie. You don't have to explain Superman, why he's there, or why he does what he does. He just is. He's also on Earth, and he's from a town in USA. With fantasy you've got a Hobbit (have to explain what a hobbit is) and he's taking a ring to Mordor (where is Mordor? what is it like? how far away is it?) to destroy it to prevent the resurrection of Sauron (who is Sauron and why can't you just kill him again the same way you did it the first time?) If I say Superman flies from America to the Indian Ocean to destroy a world-ending machine we're done. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:906863431] in Will fanta...

GreatEvilEmpire 08/14/18 3:54:31 PM #18:	Star Wars and Iron Man belong to the Science Fiction genre, not Fantasy. Fantasy movies usually take place in medieval settings with magic (Harry Potter is an exception). Anyway, LotR, The Hobbit and Harry Potter were huge. Fantastic Beasts is becoming a big franchise. --- Sig under construction! <cite>GreatEvilEmpire posted [p:906875520] in Will fanta...
