I'm normally not one of the, "Hey, I loved that band before they were cool!" people....

 

....but I knew this was going to be huge.  I never thought record-breaking huge, but huge.  The premise, trailers, and timing were all perfect.

Superhero movies have peaked (barring it being a masterpiece, BvS will disappoint same as AOU), and I think the zeitgeist is itching for some old-fashioned, family-friendly thrills without superheroes.

Yeah a studio releasing two movies a year.

So greedy.

 

Pixar releasing 2 movies this year. STOP SATURATING THE MARKETPLACE JOHN LASSETER.

It started with this comment:

 

 

 

 

 

Marvel Entertainment really needs to go back to GRRRL POWER! movies. 

 

From 'Catwoman' (at peak Halle Berry) to Elektra, the market has spoken: people love pretending women can kick men's asses.

 

Like in real life, the toughest woman on the planet, a grappling specialist, grappling against a mid-level male fighter who's a striking specialist:

So after AoU failing to break the OW, having really shitty legs, being outgrossed by Furious 7 WW and the original Avengers OW record gets decimated all within a few weeks. 

 

[Killimano3]

It's hard to deny the superhero genre is ultra-saturated but it's the fault of everyone involved really. At least with Marvel it was an original concept for a major connected universe and most of the standalones actually seem to have purpose aside from "Let's make it a universe". 

 

DC failed like 10 times to start the Justice League then made one pretty disappointing under-performing entry and because they were so desperate declared "GUYS WE DID IT" and proceeded to plan like a dozen more films

I didn't regret it though. Seeing Indy opening night was something special.

i rem my friend. I remember. I was on my feet cheering as indy, his dad, and all our heroes road off into the sunset!

Let's keep the thread at least somewhat on topic, please.

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying into this chick being the toughest woman on the planet, mainly because this is a big planet and there is someone out there that can wipe the floor with Ronda Rousey.. She just hasn't stepped forward yet or has been discovered...

Yes, I think Caitlyn Jenner could beat her.

That DC Universe is going to blow up in WB's faces. Really interested to see what Aquaman(LOL, you thought Antman was far fetched?) does....if it even makes it to shoot after WW flops.

lol she hasa better destruction record than anyone man or woman in ufc. As far as the world knows shes the best female and pound for pound fighter ever. Hopefully cyborg makes weights, quits the peds and finally faces her in the ufc. That would be millions in ppv
