Yeah, now these superhero movies pander to the same crowd that went to see the fourth Transformers. That's awesome. |
The transformer crowd will actually get to see good movies for a change. The only people who are complaining are people who have no idea what's goiong on. Marvel has been creating a shared universe since 2008. That's why we've seen at least two movies a year with a variety of superheroes. Due to contract obligations prior to the creation of the MCU, Sony still retains the film rights to Spider-Man while 20th Century Fox still retains the rights to X-Men and the Fantastic 4, so Marvel has no say of when or how many of those movies are coming out and therfore, you may get a lot of movies with Marvel characters in one year, kind of like last year when Captain America, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy were all released months apart from one another.
DC finally decied that they want to create a shared universe as well. This wasn't until years after Marvel had already done this which is why we got a failed Superman sequel/revival (Superman Returns), another stand-alone Batman series, and a failed Green Lantern movie. Man of Steel marked the beginning of the new shared cinematic universe and since DC is playing catchup to Marvel, we're going to be seeing a bunch of DC movies over the next 5 years. That's also why they're going to make another Green Lantern movie. Because he's one of the vital Justice League members. That's also why the Flash is getting his own movie.
Personally, I like the superhero movies, especially since we're getting to see a bunch of superheroes who would never normally be seen on the big screen. I think it's better than 10 years ago where the only superheroes you'd see were Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, Superman, and an occassional rare superhero who would completely bomb in theaters.
