@inferiorego "One of the biggest films of the summer was Guardians of the Galaxy, a C-list Marvel team of no-name characters,"
still haven't seen it, don't know if i want to. It's cos they have a talking raccoon. Kids love talking pets. Marvel makes their movies for kids, and almost make a mockery of superheroes. Instead of stuff like Captain Mar Vell and the Inhumans, or the X Men. There were 3 X Men movies (and they announced an Inhumans movie and we know Thanos is going to be in something, and Secret Wars might be a thing) but remember how the X Men TAS used to be? dude, it was a cartoon, with some sort of fantasy in the form of mutant powers, but also very action themed and adult. The bodies of those superheroes gave me a new reason to live. First Class and Future Past were awesome, nothing to complain there. But the first 3,.... they did have a lot of drama that was definitely not child-audience, and heavy political themes, like the X Men apparently should. Liev Schreiber was also a terrific Sabretooth in Wolverine. But the first 3 X Men movies, even though i enjoyed them, and would have watched them anyway, just didn't have the same tone as it should. The Avengers of course (not a story i ever followed) is just pop culture. It actually illustrates what society is primarily like. I liked how Captain America and Avengers tied into the complete Lionsgate animation, and how Winter Soldier had some Civil War int it.
Marvel MUST have an inside guy at DC, because look at that! Groot = Swamp Thing, Garona and Spectre are both green but other than that, not much. Or, DC wanted Marvel to try the lesser known thing first, because they didn't want to bank too much.
Always enjoy an article by inferiorego, and what everyone really wants to see, is New Gods.
