This doesn't directly relate to the topic, but can't we all just agree that the only good superhero movies are Dark Knight (great), Spiderman 1-2, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 (it's actually fun, unlike those other movies full of "fun" jokes), Watchmen, Batman Begins and Iron Man 1 (ok). The rest are like the Call of Duty of movies. They are incredibly cheesy and the plots are easy to predict and uninteresting. Almost every line has to be "cool" or "fun" so you usually know in advance what they are going to say.

They are so shallow that it almost makes you feel like you are watching a comercial or a pop-music video. Not much better than the Transformer movies. Infinity War atleast had pretty scenery and action scenes that looked good (but not impactful), and Thanos was somewhat interesting. For me they don't even work as "popcorn-movies" since they focus so much on the cheesy dialogue and characters instead of pure action.

It's a shame that the target audience of these movies nowadays is kids. That's the main root of the issue. I hope that atleast the majority of people here agree with me. Or do you actually think that these movies are (really) good and have interesting and deep plots and characters? Don't let me down. I have still some hope left.

Couldn't disagree more with you mate, Also when you say spiderman 1 and 2 were good, do you mean the ones with Toby? Looking at even a single string of movies such as Thor I really wouldn't have expected some of the twists such as Loki replacing Odin or the destruction of Mjolnir in Ragnorok, also in the MCU seeing certain characters coming together on screen such as Thor and Hulk side by side comparing accolades was both awesome and funny at the same time.

 

As for comic book movies being targeted to kids... well... who do you think comic books and the action figures of the characters in them are directed to?

Probably wasting your time mate, if he genuinely thinks that they are targeting kids with the movies, it's a lost cause.
