I still remember when a Superhero movie would be given a “B” budget, filmed in black and white, chintzy special effects, and shown on the bottom half of a double feature drive-in bill with Hercules and THE WOMEN FROM MARS.

Now it is top billing, great color with top CGI special effects.
Our youth today truly live in an age of fantasy.

I just checked to see what is playing at our local multiplex theater. Fantasy films on all screens.

I’m looking forward to seeing it. Seeing it at the theater would be nice, but I have Disney plus so I will just wait until it becomes available there.

Saw it yesterday with my boys. It was pretty good. Far exceeded my expectations.

I kind of like the idea of Fantastic Four -the musical.

It’s only a matter of time before Albus Dumbledore, Gandalf and the Wizard of Oz show up in the MCU. And Spock. Isn’t Spock in it yet?

It was alright...basically same as the rest. I liked Hollands take on SM for awhile but he apologies endlessly. “Sorry Mr. Stark, sorry Doctor Strange...sorry, sorry, sorry.”

Makes me long for the days of Shia Labeouf’s “no, no no, no, no’s”.

Not quite. To me, it hearkens back to some of the cheesier Mort Weisinger-era Superman stories from the early to mid-60s. They were just playing with the multiple universes idea as a way to explain a new generation of superheroes without breaking continuity.

Heroes like Superman and Spiderman are modern versions of ancient mythological heroes. Only the most uninteresting ones don't have any story outside of the immediate threat to be dispatched.

Unfortunately, Warner never figured out Superman AT ALL starting with Christopher Reeve. The movie arm never figured out that these characters have a very well developed story arc, and they'd be better off working off comic book writers' takes (for Superman, Len Wein, Cary Bates, Eliott S! Maggin, etc.) than hiring a Mario Puzo who clearly didn't appreciate the original works or character.

Marvel dictated enough terms to Sony and company, even storyboarding the Maguire movies comic book style, and the movies made money hand over fist so Hollywood stuck with it.

If you don't have enough character issues in the story, the comic book won't have much of a following after 12 issues, where the heroes' and villains' powers are played out. Spiderman and Superman are too long-lived to be those kinds of characters.

Way to kill the franchise !
The lead actress also hates what made her successful.
