they've built up and hyped Thanos as the baddest mofo in the history of comic book movies...how many MCU movies has this buildup of Thanos been going on for?...12?...all these infinity stones etc...he needs to kick some major ass and not end up as another typical MCU villain who gets dispatched with relative ease...I can already see how this is going to end with Thanos- all the heroes gather together and each one of them uses their particular super-power sctick to get their shot on him and combined together they take him down- Spidey shoots his web at him, Thor throws his hammer, Cap throws his shield, Hawkeye hits him with an arrow, Black Panther scratches him with his claws etc...and bada bing their combined strength kills him...
I'm gonna disagree. Marvel has so many individual charters and stories to tell that while they may be numerous, it's a good chance they wont' get repetitive anytime soon. It's a REALLY big catalog to draw from.I agree. These comic book movies are getting out of hand.
More like "unless you've put all potential comic book movies into a single category in order to dismiss them." Logan alone is proof enough that movies based on comic books have more potential than just people in costumes fighting ultimate evils. Hell, the people who enjoyed the Blade series barely knew that Blade was a comic book character. Does Fantastic Four versus Galactus really resemble Spider-Man versus Vulture so much that one could be tired of both for the same reason?unless you are just tired of comic book movies.
They also have very good casting in general with fun characters who aren't photocopies of each other. The individual movies of the different main characters also have their own feel so you don't feel like you're re-watching a movie already done. Even better is that the movies, plots and characters intertwine to tell an additional story. A lot of people enjoy this and I'm one of them.

True Lies was only 24 years ago.Fuck James Cameron, his last great movie was over 30 years ago.

There's a reason why the Marvel comic book movies are so popular
Sorry it's our generations time to dominate. Comics played a big role in our childhood.
Come back in 10 years for video game movies....that may not suck.
Youtube "Honest Trailers" for Dr. Strange. The plot mechanisms and the scenes are practically a near copy of Iron Man. I knew it seemed familiar (but more dull than anything) but that video did an excellent job showing how much of a retread it is. I'll just link to it for the lazy:
The other reason IMHO ( ) is that a comic book is an already produced story board. How easy is that to translate to the screen?
Normal action movie: read script: see if you like it: if you like it, pay story board artist: create story board, edit and start filming.
MCU movie: buy comic book: see if you like it: if you like it, photocopy and magnify comic book pages, edit and start filming. The comic book pages "are" storyboards. Better than some storyboards since the script is included.
Ok, a little facetious. But must be something that the money folks at marvel thought about when they started filming movies. Just not the major push to make a film.
And we're already sick of you at your very first sequel, no matter where the fuck it is right now, what is it now? 10 spider man origins? Sorry but your generational domination is nothing but an autistic telling of some sort of ground hog day-esque constant predictable same-same with no ability to expand the universe of what the previous 2+ generations before you invented.
That's more than a little facetious. Of course they need to make brand new story boards
I agree. These comic book movies are getting out of hand.
2007's "Sunshine" almost fit into that category, until it inexplicably turned into a slasher flick in the last half.Really, the superhero bending rules of physics and the evil military industrial invader thing is old. We need more pure science as the conflict. Man against science as the antagonist. Particularly space as the difficulty of managing effects of a weightless vacuum are our major hurdles. Good primer for the next generation. Stuff like "Gravity" or the show "The Expanse".

In other news, a director is butthurt at the idea of another overblown movie franchise being more popular than his overblown movie franchise he hasn't done anything with in damn near 10 years and no one cared about a month after it was out of theaters.
Now I'm in California, I recall avatards ending up on the evening news complaining that Avatar leaving theaters was a travesty as they considered it a documentary of their people. I wish I were joking. Yeah sure fine his movie made an assload of money, but that doesn't mean it'll be the long lasting IP he hopes it'll be.
I don't see Marvel fatigue anywhere. Every movie is a cash cow, because you, your kids, and grandkids, all like to watch this shit.
mindless entertainment is the best.
They already control 50% of the world anyway? Why not let them control more? /sThing is, both Logan and Deadpool are movies based on Marvel's X-Men IP that were made despite of Marvel/Disney, not because of.
Fox has the X-Men license, which gave them Deadpool and Wolverine, and the terms of the license means that Marvel/Disney really have very little say over what happens in them, other than making sure they don't use other Marvel properties they didn't pay for. That gave them a lot of freedom, used to good effect in the two movies you cited (and not so much in the others, agreed).
Of course that all goes tits-up, now that Fox has sold to Disney.
Personally, I think it's going to be a pretty terrible cinematic world when Disney controls about 50% of the world-wide box-office. That's the cinematic universe I'm worried about.
or as I called it after my 1st viewing "Dances with wolves in spaaaaaaace"What if I already have Avatar fatigue?
But so are rehashes and endless sequels. There are tons of SciFi Books that have never been tapped for their great stories and characters. Ringworld, A Mote in Gods Eye, Rendezvous with Rama...and a bazillion more. Also after Game of Thrones I could see the possibility of doing some mini series like Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern books.
Is there a mega-like button on this forum? What I wouldn't give for a true to story film adaptation of some serious SF. Alas we will never see such things because the general public is too easily bored unless thing are being smashed every 5 minutes or there are major battles throughout the entire movie. Maybe (since the lead character is a strong female) we might get Honor Harrington? But since the space battles are realistic and not "my missiles cross interstellar distances like we're two jet fighters dogfighting less than 5 kilometers apart" or "my energy weapons instantly hit your ship 10 light minutes away", I guess not.
