What’s confusing me is when did we get to a point where the message now is “all this comedy is in Marvel comics/movies and DC comic/movies are not funny and never had jokes or humor?”
Did Nolan’s Batman really make people lose them memories?
A bruh some post back said “you see media, Disney, and random stans cover up the dirt like 2008 Hulk, IM3 or AOU."
Excuse me, did DC not or tried to cover up Green Lantern, Jonah Hex, Superman Returns, The Losers?
Also going back to the Hulk flop thing. In grand scheme of things
now,
yea I guess we can look back and say it "under performed" Box Office wise, but then again did it really?
I mean in that era, what comic book movies was really making easily $500M and up (like how its a norm now) back then? The passed few years movies had been "
Breaking Records" as in that term meaning "doing something that has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE"
Hulk made $268M in 2008 (which did more than the Hulk that dropped in 2003). Before then only really Spiderman was the lone mega franchise to average around $800M and excluding them. Only 5 movies based on Marvel comics (out 14) going back to 1986 really made more than Hulk (the 3 Xmen movies and 2 FF, and none of those made $500M)
DC only had 5 out of 18 going back to 1978 that made more (still way less than what Marvel and DC have been doing in the last few years and only one movie made even $400M).
But after IM and later TDK (which came after Hulk) records broke and the game changed. So looking back its hard to really say "it flopped" when that wasnt the norm.
And no matter what one may feel about AOU and IM3, you cant sit here with a straight face and say those movies flopped, but then call other movies that only made less than half of what they made a huge success.
