Too Many Character Based Movies?...

I've been keeping up the best i can with all the news coming out about the upcoming movies from Marvel and DC: Green Lantern, Captain America, X-Men First Class, Ant-Man, Deadpool, Thor, Avengers, Batman 3, Spiderman relaunch, Wolverine Origins 2, possible Superman relaunch?.... and many, MANY more.  I just started thinking, "Why are SO many different character and team-based movies coming out?  I mean the tons of Marvel movies and the few DC movies that have come out in the last decade have ALL been straight character-based scripts.  Why not create live-action movies with multiple characters that are based on story-arcs?"  How many of you would like to see a movie that contains all of your favorite characters, but is more centered around a major event the way that comic books typically are written?

That's exactly what I mean.  The market is WAY too oversaturated with comic book movies they're all pushed too close together and I think a great solution would be to produce some kind of story arc movie that could have the multiple characters instead of having to make a billion movies.  The idea of introducing each avenger w/ their own movie THEN making the avenger's movie just annoys me and gives me a headache.....

Budget.

That might work since no other characters besides the main ones are not getting attention then add them together in a team. When mass audiences get interested in that character then that character should finally get a solo right away. For example they should   introduce she hulk in the next hulk movie or the one in 2008 and if people are curios enough  then theres a door opened for she hulk but no they didn't yet damn it.

If budget is the problem then why are they making a bajillion solo movies?  It's obviously not a question of how much money they have to spend it's a matter of dragging out the ticket sales and it's a little ridiculous. "

the majority of the public would have no clue as to what was going on or who some of the characters were. major crossover arcs would never work, because 80% of the population are ignorant to comics.

What he said. Movies are a entirely different medium to comics anyway. What works in a comic rarely works as well in screen. I prefer Nolans Batman approach too. A strong story that's not a direct adaptation of anyone story. I don't wanna go to the cinema to see a stroy I basicly already know. "

" @Caligula:  Totally agree dude. They've gotta be non canon. I'll never understand fans winging because the X-men movies didn't start the story from the begining with the first five or how people are confused by TV's Smallville being different to the comics. It's different because it's not the comics. That simple. "
