People might not be turned off by the "darkness"...maybe they're turned off because it's dark and shytty?
If you're aim is it to make a dark comic book film....be more adept at making dark comic book films
I feel like all these companies are hustling the masses.They turn these shytty movies into "events", get everybody hyped & rushing to the box office, then drop some mediocre garbage.They don't wanna raise the bar.Why put that kind of pressure on yourself?The masses are asses.The marketing & hype will have them throwing their money at us.
Avengers was halfway shytty....TDKR was shytty...AOU was shytty....IM3 was mediocre....Antman, ok
It's almost like they "accidentally" made TWS & GOTG entertaining movies, but those weren't really "EVENT" movies like AOU, TDKR, Bats vs Supes.
Recently, they're "events" alright.......swindle events
