Foster, who recently directed the Arkangel episode in the fourth season of Black Mirror, told the Radio Times (via DailyMail) and did not hold back when talking about movies of the Marvel and DC variety saying, Going to the movies has become like a theme park. lol --- I'm Veggeta X's alt ...

Ruining the viewing habits of the population?
*Pretentious Meter Maxed* Lowest common denominator programming has always been a thing, and popular to boot. Sure, you can sit around sipping wine and watching foreign films and decrying pop culture as toxic waste from philistines, but don't expect the rest of the world to even bother to shrug. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao ...

She actually makes a good point, even though I like Guardians of the Galaxy.

The idea that people are ruining viewer habits is comical. As long as media has existed there has always been media designed for mass consumption. She should know. She's been in them. Unless she really believes that stuff like Flight Plan or Panic Room are high art.

I don't think she meant in a literal sense, at least that how I read it. yeah but Gheb posted... The idea that people are ruining viewer habits is comical. As long as media has existed there has always been media designed for mass consumption. She should know. She's been in them. Unless she really believes that stuff like Flight Plan or Panic Room are high art. it is silly to pin anything on super hero movies or even mass marketed profit-seeking crap -- it has always been around. I would argue that even things like the Sound of Music or Gone With the Wind are not superior to super hero movies in terms of artistic merit -- if anything, if we aren't judging by the standards of the time, they are both inferior to modern movies and show obvious rough edges that subsequent generations of films have improved --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

thanosibe posted...It also relies on the viewers' demands. Yeah sure it's easier to throw together Deadpool (my son just watch it this weekend, as I couldn't sit through more than five minutes at a time) with lines like "shit speckled muppet fart" than it is to come up with intelligent dialogue. But if the easy stuff is in demand, despite it's quality, then it's never going to stop.

She's right, though.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2017 TL;DR - Dunkirk is the only live-action film in the top 25 worldwide box office of 2017 to be originalnot an adaptation, remake or sequel. How does this relate to superhero movies? Just keep rehashing the same old material. Give it a sequel, another sequel, a prequel, then a reboot, then introduce another side character and repeat again ad infinitum. Superhero movies have taken over the box office. Outside of indie hipster theatres, Going to the cinemas these days is an exercise in choosing whether you want to see a marvel movie or a disney one. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...

Nothing is holding back studios from making original movies other than themselves. There's an audience for everything. All big blockbuster movies aren't meant to be Silence of the Lambs or the like. Seems like an unnecessary opinion.

I think whats happening to movies is what happened to video games the past decade. Then game development and distribution became much more obtainable and we saw a surge of high brow indie games and a renewed interest and acclaim for original and artistic content.

Those superhero movies have been the only good movies in like...forever. So she's wrong. Even going by the most basic opinion someone could have that ain't true. Of the top 50 here only 3 are superhero movies. http://www.imdb.com/list/ls003501243/ Look how many great movies on that list, and that's just the last 7 years. By and large - excepting a few standout entries - superhero movies are like the background noise on mainstream radio.
