  • Devin Faraci Mocks the Comic Book Movie Glut



    This year’s superhero crop is especially vexing, as some of them try to hide their superhero-ness. Look at the new Captain America - you would almost think it was a paranoid thriller/spy movie! And the new X-Men baffles us by being a post-apocalyptic time travel movie, like The Terminator! Forget about Guardians of the Galaxy, which cloaks its oppressive superheroness in space opera. Only The Amazing Spider-Man 2has the common decency to be a straight-ahead superhero film. By making the superhero films not feel like superhero films, these studios are insidiously keeping us from feeling the overwhelming weight of these four motion pictures assaulting our theaters over the course of 52 weeks.

      Youre right I mistyped the title, can a mod change it please? Put quotation marks around "comic book movie glut".

        If you go full on superhero, no holds barred you'll either end up with a gem like The Avengers or a dud like Green Lantern.

        I say if there's going to be a lot of superhero movies then it's good to have variety even if they're just "hiding" the fact they are superhero movies.
