Most Believable Superhero Franchise STORIES/UNIVERSES

[The Toymaker]

Why wont we just choose the most enjoyable SH franchise, and keep this being-believable talk away from superheros?

Still think some of you are still having a hard time understanding what I mean by "believable". And Al, you're attacking my thread over semantics and not even attempting to understand.

Maybe I'm just not getting this idea over to you. Perhaps, this might help:

Maintaining your audience’s suspension of disbelief is a challenge that every fantasy writer must face. Obtaining, and holding, that suspension relies on your ability to convey a believable story, setting, and cast.

I understand what you mean, but I disagree with it and think it's stupid. You can't just change a word to mean what you want it to mean.

But, I'm not.

[The Toymaker]

You are saying that superhero movies are believable.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh on you. Maybe you just don't know how to express what you really mean.

Hancock?? I know if I were a superhero I'd most likely piss people off than save the day.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Alright that's enough. Keep to the topic. And if you don't understand it, or think it's "stupid" why bother to post in it?

[The Toymaker]

Oh shit, he bolded it. He's serious.

Okay, then I think that The Amazing Spider-Man is the most consistent superhero movie I have watched.

Hopefully, TASM2 and 3 follow suit because I found Raimi's first two films very believable, while the third one went off the rails once the meteor appeared.

[The Toymaker]

They're making a third? I know about TASM2, but I never suspected a third until the 2nd was deemed a success. Cool. I never got into Raimi's Spider-Man movies, but with TASM, it's just more interesting. Raimi's movies always made me feel not part of the movement, as if I had to have read Spider-Man comics as a child to participate in them. Hopefully TASM continues as the first started. This could be a great, great, great trilogy.

I swear there are posts missing here

Geez Algren banned again?

[Harpospoke]

Can't think of any. Certainly can't believe that a guy could dress up like a bat, piss off the mob, and live more than a week. Kick Ass touched on that subject at least.There is a reason why these things don't happen in real life.

If Batman (particularly Nolan's batman) doesnt win this poll, then something is wrong. I mean, how can a bunch of supernatural freaks being more believable than a normal guy with no magic powers at all?

Geez Algren banned again?

For what?

[Phil in the Blank]

Im not sure exactly, I know a post of his was deleted in the black Bond thread in the Bond forum for saying that Bond should not be black because he doesn't go around gang raping people

That was one in a long line of just super cheery postings by our pal Al. Yes, he lasted a whole 36 hours between suspensions.

[Phil in the Blank]

I wish Al would tone it down a bit, its nice having an errr 'alternate' voice in the forums. It doesn't mean he has to be a huge dick about it though.

Because there are even more believeable heroes than Batman, like The Punisher

[Jessie]

Doesn't the title say Super-hero?? How is Batman and The Punisher a superhero?? they have no super human powers..
