I've noticed that the people who are genuinely invested in superhero movies (really this can apply to any franchise) can notice the differences in story and tone in those films, whereas people who generally don't care about them feel like they're all the same.

This is also a problem too, but the point is that superhero films are also a large culprit.

We didn't need 8 Fast and Furious films. But we got them because they were a moneymaker. Back to my original point. I want to see Hollywood pump out movies that are not only profitable, but good stories that are told. We've lost that along the way.

I agree that all these recent super hero movies (ever since Nolans TDK trilogy) have been shallow, bullshit CGI-orgies. But the way she put it was damn pretentious.

Shitty movies being popular are just as bad as fracking? Really?

Basically.

Comic books just bring out the most ignorant, pretentious critics.

Someone's mad she isn't in a Marvel film.


why is it that anytime someone wants to challenge something or someone to do better people think they are just jealous? bullshit she just wants people to put more into their work and create better content. All these superhero flicks are just major cash grabs anyway, thats why they keep on making them.

There are plenty of good movies that are released. If you don't watch them that's your fault. I don't care if we have 20 super hero films and 15 Pixar kids shows if there are still good meaningful films being released.

Dude, calm down. We are not bound to only hold Jodie's exact opinion. It makes a great starting point for a discussion about cinema.

You can't seem to not be so overly emotional about this discussion, which is weird. You are not personally responsible for superhero films, remakes, reboots, etc.

600 movies were not for widespread release. It is probably around 200 at best. Even then, outside of your raw data interpretation, the oversaturation involves interpreting the context of cinema.

Let's say that it is 6 out of 200 movies. There are probably 150 or more movies on that list that your average movie-goer has never even heard of. Why? Marketing plays a large role. This is why the perspective is that we are fed a bunch of superhero films, remakes, reboots, and sequels. Quite honestly, if you mashed all those together, they would probably take up a lot of those 200 films than we suspect.


No the perspective that we are fed these movies is simple...people are dumb and also more people rather see the few superhero movies that come out than the dozens of shitty horror, chick flick, romantic comedies, & action movies that come out.

Its jealousy

Are you saying that you are so much smarter than everyone else that marketing efforts never affect your purchasing behaviors?


No im saying im smart enough to know that superhero movies arent fed to us

Overall I would say there are some legitimate points she makes, but they have nothing to do with super hero movies and much more to do with, like, globalization and monopsony power, consumer interest in film as entertainment and the attendant rise of Netflix/Redbox and other complicated economic reasons rather than the fact that companies are especially greedy or lazy or that consumers are especially boorish or whatever

Bingo

Clickbait strikes again

'Going to the movies has become like a theme park,' she said.

'Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth.'

She continued: 'Its ruining the viewing habits of the American population and then ultimately the rest of the world.


The article provides the context that she's specifically attacking superhero movies even though that isn't what she said. Her specific comments were that she wasn't interested in a superhero movie unless it dealt with complex psychology. But that was separate.

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.

She added, Studios making bad content in order to appeal to the masses and shareholders is like fracking you get the best return right now but you wreck the earth. Then in a final jab she said, Its ruining the viewing habits of the American population and then ultimately the rest of the world.

The actress-turned-director made it clear that she does not want to make $200 million movies about superheroes and that CGI and that sort of spectacle is not the reason why she makes movies. I feel like I make movies because there are things I have to say in order to figure out who I am or my place in the world, or for me to evolve as a person.
