. As was mentioned in the OP there is literally content being created daily, millions of great TV and movies coming out weekly/monthly so if you dont want to go see comic book films dont.
… what?Not at the cinema they're not.
/and dont blame covid.
Around now at cinemas you can see stuff like this (besides Eternals/Venom):Not at the cinema they're not.
/and dont blame covid.
a few goodies thereAround now at cinemas you can see stuff like this (besides Eternals/Venom):
James Bond
Dune (in a fortnight)
Tick Tick Boom
The Last Duel
Last Night in Soho
Power of the Dog
Rons Gone Wrong
etc
Most "only in", some a few weeks before streaming debuts. That NSW/Vic lockdown means we have a pretty crammed schedule right now.
Was gonna say the exact oppositea few goodies there
Tick Tick Boom and The Last Duel are the only ones I hadn't heard ofWas gonna say the exact opposite
Tick Tick Boom and The Last Duel are the only ones I hadn't heard of
the rest sound good
Rons Gone Wrong is the one I want to see most out of those
gets good reviews,probably is good I just dont like that genre much,Ive never seen Gladiator,I struggled with GOT...i will give it another go one dayI saw The Last Duel last week, it's directed by Ridley Scott and is like a French version of Gladiator set in the 1300s, it was pretty good.

They'll keep making them because there will always be an audience, both the nerds and more importantly a new generation who eat that s**t up.Look im a comic book nerd, i have Mjolnir and Caps shield tattooed on me, ill watch damn near any comic book or graphic novel IP put onto film.
Having said that i can also understand the fatigue of the MCU and DCEU for the time being, it does feel like it dominates the landscape.
Ultimately (to me) no one is forcing you to watch them, especially post Endgame (Avengers) and the Snydercut (DCEU) there is way less expectation on casual fans. As was mentioned in the OP there is literally content being created daily, millions of great TV and movies coming out weekly/monthly so if you dont want to go see comic book films dont.
Probably, but that doesn’t prevent other artists from making non comic book films.They'll keep making them because there will always be an audience, both the nerds and more importantly a new generation who eat that sh*t up.
They'll be remakes, continuation of stories and tangents and it'll make money over first.

Is this scorseses “they’re not cinema” take? I love Martin (the horrible shutter island aside) but I honestly had no idea what he was even trying to say with this, ironic that while he is lamenting the death of “cinema” he was taking the Netflix millions to make a 3 and 1/2 film that likely gets edited down to a punchy 2 and 1/2 hours if it’s a cinematic release.i sometimes wonder if we're heading for a disco records being burnt in a baseball stadium moment with this. not sure how it would happen with the physical copies not actually existing so much, but there's clearly the rumblings there.
don't really watch them, i would have been watching already and it's too late to start. there's a certain impenetrability and i go kind of blank when people explain any plots. i'm sure there's nice movies in there somewhere, but i can't... get into what is a box-ticking exercise chock full of macguffins.
have to agree with scorcese - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/opinion/martin-scorsese-marvel.html
i'm not so cut that people shouldn't have their fun with them. it's interesting how it's swept up to become mainstream from being the domain of outsiders, though it's now saddled with the demands of current politics. and i have some sort of respect for some of the fans, being a fan of more transgressive/lo-fi crap movies myself.
