I remember in the mid-2000s when a lot of comic book movies (of varying quality) were coming out and you had a lot of people saying comic book movies were a fad and eventually you'd stop seeing so many of them.

But fast forward years later and not only are just as many (if not more) comic book movies coming out, but inh all honesty they're getting better. In fact most of them lately have been good. Wonder woman, Spiderman: Homecoming, Civil War, Logan, GotG2, etc.

And now we're getting Black Panther, Justice League, Punisher, Infinity War, Thor: Ragnarok, etc. Shyt's mindblowing and there's no sign that it'll stop or that people are getting tired of them. And I don't care what anybody says the majority of comic book movies these days are good. Even the ones that aren't that good (X-men: Apocalype, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, etc.) aren't actually bad and are average at worst.


So are we in the Golden Age of Comic Book movies? And do you still think comic book movies are a trend or are they going to be a permanent thing?

Yep. At one point in time, we were just happy to see characters on screen. Now we are at the point mediocrity isn't even being accepted. We are able to rep brands like we used to with the actual comics and joke on each others companies cause we know at the end of the day they all bringing in a minimal half a billi with the movies they put out. Its moved the genre from a niche you might discuss online to water cooler talk on Monday's. I don't think they are going anywhere for awhile. Honestly, even though I'm probably known as more of a Marvel hater, but I'm hoping they pull this Infinity War off and they have a great ending to the build up. I want the genre to move past just having great movies and sales, but moving towards Oscar nods.

I had hopes for Logan, but ultimately it came out way too early in the year most likely.

That doesn't make sense considering they've mad 3x as many movies as Transformers.

The MCU is the Subway of Film Franchises. They're "fine"
