*Leave the stanning at the door*
This isn't about fox or marvel or DC.
From ASM2,to BVS to CW,all these comic films can't just be a self contained story anymore. They have to be something more.
But is it hurting the film's? Are they just becoming gimmicks?
I think so.
If you look at comics as a medium most of the greatest stories are self contained within their own hero's universe. But in film that's seemingly gone out the window. With Deadpools success I Garauntee fox has taken notice and once Singer leaves will be shoehorning in characters for the sole purpose of spin offs. Cough gambit cough.
It's not enough anymore just to be about the story and the hero. It has to contain other hero's and it has to be building towards something. It has taken all the suspense out of these films when you have the next 5 years laid out. They're now announcing which hero's are making appearances in each other's films years before. Before they even give you an idea of the plot.
I've said before that I enjoy having x men as its own franchise,and that most of the best spidey stories are self contained.
Stories can't even breath anymore. They've just become bridges to set pieces and the next film. There's few if any consequences just as a sneak peak to the next film.
Maybe it's just me. But. It's why after finishing DD season 2 I can firmly say that Marvel's Netflix shows are by far the best comic stories happening right now.
Thoughts?
