i know right? it’s not like the last one was the highest grossing superhero movie of all time, or anything.

Yeah and look at all the albums Justin Beiber and Luke Bryan sell. Most people are just sheep with poo for taste.

It's funny someone would complain about the existence of superhero movies yet get drunk off their ass to watch a bunch of grown men pummel each other into oblivion for entertainment.

I don't think people would complain if they were good. If you're a 12 year I guess they're entertaining. Cinematically they're an insult to film. I will spare Nolan's Trilogy, Deadpool and Logan from that generalization. The rest, at the least the ones I have seen are shot with no heart, script or substance. Anything to make a buck. Its disgusting.

The draft is fuggin awesome.  I won't miss a damn min of it.  Infinity War?  Ultron was ok but enough already.

Well, purist based arguments will basically rage on forever.

In terms of the current state of the film industry in relation to the egregious laziness of most blockbusters and unnecessary remakes, I can't disagree with you. Like what they have done to Pacific Rim by basically turning it into Michael Bay's Transformers minus the lens flare. I tend to sometimes give Marvel a little leeway. The DC movies outside of Nolan are basically hot garbage. Admittedly I'm a film buff, and have an appreciation for cult classics and specific film references in particular. While there are clearly some terrible cookie cutter films being churned out on the regular, there are still quite a few talented people putting out great work.

First of all I care nothing about super hero movies or comics in general. I'm looking at this from from perspective as someone who went to film school. 

 

There are plenty of studios and producers putting out great movies. Movies that invoke thought, pioneer new ideas and master ones that have already been conjured. Just not Marvel. There is nothing wrong with being entertained. I just can't stand the people that beat the Marvel drum and shout from the rooftops how great the films are.

 

In OPs defense he is not the problem. Just a fan of the MCU and that's okay with me. I'm just a little sassy today.

Disney is the real culprit here.

Love football, but watching the draft is not that interesting, unless we are picking.

For me it is

Like beauty, great is in the eye of the beholder.  I enjoy many of the blockbusters.  Thor was a very entertaining movie, so was Black Panther.  Movies don't always have to invoke thought, just fun is ok.  My favorite movie this past year was Darkest Hour, which some consider to be a great movie, however many of the so called great movies bore me to tears.  I remember many years ago hearing what a great movie LA Confidential was, but halfway thru, I remember wishing I had a book to read.  Its not that I didn't get it, I just ended up not caring.

Considering film is an art form I'll agree with you here with just one small caveat...

 

you're wrong and I hate you.

Taking my team to see Infinity Wars on opening day.  Draft at night if I make it that late.  I'm a grown man who has a 12 year old heart.  These movies rock, for me.  And that's all that matters.  For me.
