A big reason i think a lot of comic book films

Havent been popular is because they seem to have been made more in order to play catch up after covid disrupted everything. Theyve prioritised making products that are very by the numbers as opposed to making unique superhero films. They're exceptions of course but their seems to be more spectacle over substance

I think it's just been done to death. Plus it was always hard for superhero movies to work out in cinema. If a comic book character isn't portrayed on screen well, then the whole movie itself is often considered a joke 😶 people will forever clown on the actor who chose the role.

I really liked all the MCU movies but after Infinity War & Endgame it seems like they'll never really top that hype again 🤷 I feel like that had a big hand in drowning out the comic book movie scene afterwards too. I still wanna see the new Deadpool & Wolverine though 👌 & the new Joker movie might be pretty good

@ChiefJustWalks I haven’t seen any MCU movies since like Captain America. I watched part of Guardians of the Galaxy but got busy with house stuff and just never finished it.

I am kinda interested in Deadpool and Wolverine though.

@Straylight Guardians of the Galaxy was a great movie in my opinion. But there's a lot going on so it's easy to get distracted then stop caring about it 😅 the soundtrack makes it feel nostalgic at least.

I think the Deadpool & wolverine movie might be outta theaters by now though. I'll probably watch it very soon

This is all true but the biggest single reason is that there have been too many. It's been done to death and there is not much else you can do.

It's remarkable that it's had such a big run but I'm glad that the MCU dominating cinema is coming to an end

@Burnley123 And with the studios pushing their own streaming services there is also pressure to just push them out en masse like TV episodes.

They have the same problem the comic books have. The stories have become too childish and elaborate.
Back when I collected them. The comics had some good epic writing to them. Solid plots. With interesting villains. Now it’s all eye candy. There’s no serious motive to the bad guys.

I think that studios believe making a comic movie is the highest honor for a comic series. But I think a lot of them already exist in their ideal medium and don’t need a live action adaptation.

My favorites comic movies are theses
1. Batman ( 1989 )
2. Dick Tracy ( 1990 )
3. The Shadow ( 1994 )
4. Dark Man ( 1990) that is bonus more inspired as a comic book movie .
