yesmar is literally "that guy"
This.

Whining about a movie he's never even seen is pathetic. All gay people do now is whine about everything and then play the victim card when called out on it. Board 8 is loaded with these people, which makes me feel bad for Cyclo because he doesn't pull that crap.

News Flash: If you act like an idiot, you'll get treated like one regardless of sexual orientation.


he just like...cant enjoy anything and has this warped view of society and america that he feels every aspect of our culture should be aligned to. its a combination of "internet indoctrination" and probably some mental issues.

like you can tell that a movie doing well is legitimately bothering him. its one thing if you want to be like "there is a trend in the movie industry that in my opinion is hurting it" but instead its "UGH!"

its just pathetic and i cannot imagine him being a happy person at all

DYL has clearly never read a Yesmar topic.

That's probably it because I could have sworn I mentally put Yesmar in the "Don't bother reading what they're saying" list, and just recently remembered he existed while forgetting why I didn't go in any of his topics in the first place.


Well, we all need a reminder every now and then I suppose.

I think The Avengers does plenty of good to the industry, as did films like The Black Knight. They are actually great superhero films that are also making lots of money. They are not cash-ins as they clearly take considerable work and effort, and they actually become successful. It gives the industry more incentives to work harder on better films instead of on crap that doesn't make half as much money. Basically it's sending a message that it is worth the extra effort.

That made this whole topic worth a read.

I think what's he's saying is that The Avengers doing well will make people try to follow it but make crappy movies.

Like when bands tried to be Nirvana and ending up sucking

If Nirvana didn't do well we would be spared from these crappy bands.

But still, it's stupid because you don't have to watch said movies so there's nothing to complain about!

Well, I mean, what is there after that? There's rumors of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Edgar Wright's Antman is still being talked about, and that would be a major change of pace. Iron Man 3 of course. I think The Flash is still a thing.

The studio 'franchise' system definitely started with "Jaws" and "Star Wars", but the way you're going about with this argument War has a point with "Gone With The Wind".

I agree with the gist of your statement but you're making an already-tough sell all the tougher with how you're presenting the supposed evidence. It would be nice to see this era of relentless superhero movies come to a close within the next ten or so years and "The Avengers" certainly isn't contributing to such a future, but frankly if it's as good for the fans as the fans are saying, it should be praised and seen despite what you've said.

That and Joss Whedon deserves most of the money he can get, so yeah.




I wouldn't say so, studios have been thinking along those lines ever since they could hand out contracts. Basically the difference being that instead of making a numbered sequel its usually based on vehicles for the actor. Though that didn't stop them making a million broadway melodies!

What Jaws did was just have every studio go, oh lets frontload everything in the summer and make it a national release instead of a staggered release, the only thing Jaws can be blamed of is us having too many sweet big budget movies to look forward to being released at roughly the same time.

And then in winter we can all enjoy those sweet movies the studios want to push for the Oscars!

Spiderman was good.


spiderman 1, 2, and 3 all sucked. All were cheesy garbage. Watch them again. They sucked. They might be tolerable when we were freshman in high school in 2002 or what not.

Somehow the worst post in the topic, which is pretty f***ing impressive.

Congrats.


nah. Aside from those, marvel movies have sucked. Its all the same cheesy bull **** with a lot of money invested in making the movies have godly special effects.

Which is a shame because when i was a kid, there was about a whole year where i spent my $5 allowance each week on 2 packs of marvel cards (1992 set was the best imo) or a comic book. Too bad the marvel movie fad that started in the late 90s has pretty much been entire trash.

"The only good marvel superhero movies are xmen 1 and 2. Possibly the first iron man"


Iron man. First Class. Thor. Captain America.


I said Iron man was decent. First Class didn't hit with me. Sorry. And im not sure how anyone could think Capt America was good. Id give it a 6/10 or so, but not "good".

I watched the first one again in March, I enjoyed it. I don't remember what 2 and 3 is like, but if you're the type of person to agree with this topic...

the first one is the best one. The 2nd and 3rd is when it turns into an entire cheese fest with things like MJ running in a wedding dress in slo-motion with a really bad smirk on her face, and spiderman crowd surfing. All three arent anything special though.
