Movies and TV

[Stan Zero]

I have enjoyed a lot of the superhero movies from the last 20 years, especially the Avengers movies, the Dark Knight Trilogy, the Spider-Man movies old and new, and so on. But now days I'm kind of tired out from it all. I still like superhero movies, but they don't pack the same punch as they used to and they all fall into the same cliche storytelling where they face off against a big bad guy who wants to destroy earth or control people or something.

I can't get invested into the new Marvel phase. Though I have watched some of the shows and enjoyed them. What direction can we even go at this point?

Do you think we need to slow it down on the superhero movies? Or are you good with how many come out yearly?

There isn't too many in number or scale, it is just that so many of them suck. The comic industry in America has been tanking since the 90s and manga is taking over more and more. They tell better stories. A lot of people are burned out on the social politics being put into terrible stories.

I think there's too many superhero movies and TV shows, I know that some people watch them to escape but I think that there should be more realistic movies and shows nowadays. I'd prefer it if they would either make realistic movies and shows with some fantasy included (that doesn't include live-action) or make unrealistic movies/shows that have villains as main characters that stay evil and are not based off of real people.

I don't think there's enough... especially the black characters...
