As far as Im concerned, they can make as many superhero movies as they want, but I would really like more variety. These movies have dominated the box office for years and it seems like thats mostly all we get now.

idk man i used to go to sold out amc theaters showing rated R dramas like no country for old men out in the florida suburbs when i was younger

now when i go see a rated R drama there's four people in a 100+ seat auditorium. and i live in los angeles now.
That's funny, 'cause when I went to see Infinity Pool in a 100 seat auditorium, it was a full house. Almost like it's about the quality of the movie in question and the quality of your theater and less "movie culture"

it isn't meant to be. its showing how little people care about seeing a non cgi spectacle now.

I feel like people need to stop letting critics form their opinions for them. I would have missed out on a lot of movies that I actually enjoyed if I just didn't watch them because critics didn't like them.

nobody does this. criticism from people who are informed about the history of the medium, who actually care and write about theme, aesthetics, and whatnot, could not be more irrelevant in today's age. just have a giant marketing budget and make audiences soyface to a "turn your brain off" movie. that's all that matters.

Marvel isn't going anywhere. Just because their movies right now aren't doing amazing, doesn't mean they're fading away. They're just in a really weird spot right now with no obvious hype or awe they once had. Things will get better. Believe it dattebayo.

the interesting characters have been mostly milked: thor, cap, hulk, wanda, ironman. Who's left? Strange and antman are 1/2 there, only spidey is left.

You can't carry forward marvel with falcon, riri and america chavez. Who's left? the xmen? they've already been milked to death. They're gonna have 1, maybe 2 fairly successful xmen movies, 1, maybe 2 fantastic 4 movies and then the decline will hit.

this week in 1972 the top movies at the box office were the french connection, fiddler on the roof, the last picture show, and... hey, diamonds are forever!

the godfather would go on to finish as the highest grosser of 1972. 2001 was the highest grossing movie of 1968. i could keep going except im starting to feel bad but yeah lying isn't nice so stop doing it lol

The late 60's thru early to mid-70's were the exception, not the rule when it came to American auteur-driven cinema having such mainstream appeal (which helps explain why filmmakers like Tarantino have such a long-running obsession with that era). And it only lasted a few years before Jaws and Star Wars invented the blockbuster as we know it today.

idk man, the hollywood studio system also allowed people like john ford, howard hawks, ernst lubitsch, vincente minnelli, alfred hitchcock, and so forth do whatever they wanted and have their own voice. and they had large budgets and movie stars. not having to beg for handouts like the coen bros or scorsese are doing with netflix and apple tv.

The problem right now is we dont have a true Avengers or Thanos being an overarching villain to hold the continuity together. They are teasing Kang a bit but all the films feel so disjointed and with contracts ending theyre adding so many new characters and barely developing them or making them likable.

The DC universe is a mess with no one understanding what direction they're even going in. I'm guessing in the next 5-10 years they will lose their grip to something even more sinister... video game adaptations.

How depressing is it that video game adaptations will just replace superhero movies?
