They're already making the movies more serious, they don't need to grimdark everyone up Man of Steel style. Cap 2 was pretty serious and they're building to Civil War, shit's getting heavier and heavier. I'd prefer they just keep making great movies that are compelling and entertaining as they build to the Infinity Gauntlet stuff.
I'm not suggesting that. But make these characters who they were in the comics. Superman isn't/wasn't dark and brooding, they just did that to make him more edgy. Like Stan Lee said, in order for a superhero movie to be a success, you have to capture the essence of what they were in the comic.
And when there are 65 Transformers and Fast and Furious movies planned in the next six years, you'd actually have a valid point.
You serious dude? Fast and Furious is on film #7. Just that one IP. When Avengers is on #7 and still bankrolling the way F&F does then maybe YOU'D have a valid point.
Yea, but F&F didn't start making notable bank until the 4th one and the 5th one was nearly double the 4th's bank. #7 is somewhere around 1.1 billion last I looked.
I'm deadly serious. Many of you were not around when the comics industry almost died. In the 90's, didn't Marvel have like 250 titles? The market has never been the same since. If you went to a comic book shop then, the walls were covered from top to bottom with comics books. Nerds said fuck it, I'm out. I somehow don't think the mainstream fan is going to be as loyal.
Secret Wars has been the number 1 seller every month it's out, you sure that comic shop isn't in disarray and just "forgot" to order copies?
Not really.
