I'm sure that's part of the appeal for many men.Cletus wrote: It's the costume.
Traditionally, I'd have pretty well agreed with this summation of the genre, but between this film and Logan, I've got to say that the genre's storytelling quality does appear to be improving this year (at least outside of projects controlled by Marvel Studios anyway). I have spoken to what I feel I can without spoiling some of the best narrative surprises in the Wonder Woman movie (some things you really should just see for yourself), but to comment briefly on what made Logan stand out for me, while we have seen many stories about how normal (male) human beings become superheroes with special powers and whatnot, Logan in contrast does something that felt new to me in telling the story of how a superhero becomes a normal human, with the theme of it being better to be a normal person than this exciting fantasy. These two films give me some hope for the future of the genre, personally, beyond just its money-making prospects.Captain Obvious wrote:
I just don't find repetetive mass produced story lines entertaining. Some demographic segments do I suppose.
