It might be China yeah. But so many of my friends are into superhero movies now that never had any love for them a decade ago, and it’s not because of the writing or acting

It's because it's the popular thing and they're jumping on the bandwagon as to be apart of the zeitgeist?
As if China think for themselves. They have the numbers to overtake the West by imitation, so they don't bother with innovation.
So, considering you're in your 20s, in what sense is it nostalgia?Originally Posted by mugbull

I liked superhero movies when they were infrequent and a bit of "Aha you know how you liked Batman as a kid well what if all that corny shit kinda grew up and matured with you and now you get The Dark Knight" instead of "Ok so you know The Dark Knight well what if we did that with literally every super hero"
Out of interest, I looked at how quick they banged out the four Christopher Reeve Superman films. Two years, three years and four years between them.
I find the majority of them boring so I've barely watched any of them. I don't feel I've missed out on much.
I attempted the thing Yevrah did but for me it got old very quick.
People used to read comic books? I dont get your point
I mean..when I was a little kid I used to play with the action figures and watch the cartoons.
My cousin and I had a bunch of them (okay I had like 5 but he had a bunch of them) so many summer days were spent concocting complex story lines and scenarios for our assortment of heroes and villains.
That, as well as going outside and pretending to be said superheroes in the same way.
So for me that would've been the nostalgia factor personally but idk, after the first Avengers movie I had no interest whatsoever and a passing interest prior.
My cousin, however, is ashamed of this fault in me, though I did really enjoy the Deadpool movies.
Comic book movies worth a shit in no particular order
Deadpool 1 and 2
The Toby Maguire Spiderman trilogy (though the 3rd one was a mess).
The Dark Knight trilogy
The first Avengers movie I guess
Black Panther was cool why not
Iron Man 1 and 2
?????????????
Scott Pilgrim vs The World probably counts in some sense cause it was a comic book and if that's the case that's the best one out of the entire bunch by a long shot.
Doesn't even list the best ones...
Scott Pilgrim was decent yeah
*sighs exasperatedly*
Which.. ones...are...the....best...ones.....Mahow?
Which is shortest?
Comic book movies worth a shit in no particular order:
Watchmen
V for Vendetta
That's it.
I always get Watchmen confused with that movie Ben Stiller was in
Zoolander?
Mystery Men if i recall. Could be something else, more fun to speculate and not google.
/thread
Pretty sure that had Smash Mouth on the soundtrack.
Thor Ragnarok, Captain America Civil War, CA: Winter Soldier (probably the best), Infinity War and I personally have a soft spot for Dr Strange as I love the character although it isn't the best of films.*sighs exasperatedly*
Which.. ones...are...the....best...ones.....Mahow?
Also, Iron Man 2 was a mess.
I haven't seen any of those.
I've seen Dr Strange.
It's watchable nonsense.
All the Captain America ones just sound too awful to contemplate for me personally.
Black Panther was alright, but again, we're not really talking great cinema here. It's a decent yarn.
It's a shame they're all so disposable now.
But that was fine for those movies. Watch it once, be mildly entertained without much real thought, move on with your lives.
The way they go on about this shit now is insane. It's all very American Psycho to me.
The early films were a little too campy for my taste. But when The Dark Knight came out in '08, I think super hero movies really came into their own, commercially and artistically...
Why do you care so much?
People like different shit, move on.
Because it's still real to him, dammit!
I like seventy per cent of the things I like ironically.
I'm just adding to the conversation, dickhead.
By acting like a true American teenage girl, got it.
By continuing to talk about a topic I started?
Anyways.
I have a carton of Innocent coconut water right now, and it does say 'stop looking at my bottom' underneath. Ugh.
Well I suppose I should count my blessings that I got to experience multiple viewings on Into The Spiderverse (and listening to “Sunflower” and “Hypnotise” from the soundtrack, on near repeat for months) all the Toy Story films, animated Mr Bean, the original Pokemon series and underrated treasure Gigglebiz - but the inevitable has finally happened. My 2yo daughter is obsessed with something I’m not really keen on... Frozen.
Sigh. I understand it could be worse but when you’ve gone from daily viewings on an awesome Spider-Man movie and constantly requests of “I want Biggie Smalls” in the car, changing that to Frozen and “the Forever song” is pretty grim.
She’s probably too young to watch the new one at the cinema too, so it’s just the first one. Was probably kidding myself thinking the “cool stuff” could last, I guess.
I'm a twit
Your kid has good taste. Good reminder to look out frozen to take “home” over Xmas.
If you like gigglebiz then just get the Justin Fletcher version of Let It Go, it's quite funny and the album has other such classics as What Does the Fox Say? on it.
Frozen is decent. Quite a few of the that era disney princess films are alright (Tangled is good).
What has become of us?
Our Disney was better, lads. They used to do drawings.
Gigglebiz is top tier, you lucked out there.

Supermarkets trying to be your friend.
No Sainsburys you are not a 'part of christmas', you sell groceries (and do very well out of it) stop trying to make us feel like we should be setting a place at the table for you.
This is where Aldi is the job. They hate you, you hate them, but the transaction takes place with minimal fuss and everyone wins.
Went to the registrar today with my gran's death certificate, hoping to get whichever form is required to get the funeral directors moving with a date from the crematorium. That didn't happen because there's a fucking bonkers system in place where ten percent of people are flagged up for some extra scrutiny on their death certificates, apparently at random, but they only decide you're being flagged during your appointment and so you find out on ten minutes notice that everything is being pushed back at least a day. She was flagged for a 'Level One' review, which is the smallest of three possible embuggerances.
Didn’t know she’d passed away (if you’d said elsewhere). Sorry to hear that.
How is that even a thing?It's bad enough when a loved one passes away but to have to prove it too....Jesus.
Sorry to hear of your loss.
It isn't about proving anything. The questions they ask when you take in the certificate are all about what she did for a living and how many siblings she had. It's about keeping family records up to date, but they're well aware nobody would bother their arse with that stuff if they didn't have to so they make the form you get at the end a legal requiremenet for the funeral directors to collect the body from the hospital.
