Who cares about some lame superhero bullshit. Alien, Predator, Die Hard and Planet of the Apes are in more danger. Said the man on the superhero-movie message board. Hee hee hee...

Im not the one who come with box offices numbers to prove that the movies are "good" I'm not that person either. You made that up in your head because you didn't read the conversation. It was claimed that "people now hate anything supehero". This is obviously not true. The box office proves the opposite of that claim. You brought the subject of "quality" into the conversation. The quality of a movie is 100% subjective. But it is a fact that the public currently loves SH movies. That was what we were talking about.

Well I already made my feelings clear about the whole Rupert Murdoch thing.
As for the merger,The fact that Disney will be controlling about %40 (or is it more?) of the film industry, is pretty scary. But I guess Comcast would have controlled a lot as well, so in the end it's a lose-lose situation.
While people here fight over things like the X-Men, I'm actually more concerned with what Disney would do with the Alien franchise.
And as far as the marvel stuff goes. The plus side is Marvel will have enough characters to bring in much needed diversity in the MCU, especially LGBTQ characters.
But I understand where others are coming from. With Disney owning X-Men, we will probably won't get something like Logan anytime soon or experimental films New Mutants.
I know it's frustrated for some, but we have to move on and hope something good will come out of this.
Or we can drink ourselves to death.

Considering they haven't made a good Aliens film in decades, I don't know that it matters. New Mutants looked terrible and I hope the rumors of its cancelation are true. I remain concerned that every superhero flick will have the same tone under Disney's control, which is a shame because an X-Men film should feel different from an Avengers film. Still, it'll be better than what we had under the control of the hacks at Fox.

When he says people, I think he means the avid movie goers who think the over abundance of Comic book films have hurt the industry overall. Other properties cant get a look in due to the casual mass audiences who flock to films only when theres a hero with a cape in it. So a loud minority? A loud minority who somehow don't notice that every single genre is well represented every year. There were 740 movies tracked by Box Office Mojo last year. We've had 394 so far this year. If you can't find a movie you like, you simply are not trying. There have been 20 animated movies released this year so far....are they ruining it for other movies too? That's far more than the 4 CBM we've gotten. If you like R rated horror films....no problem. There were 19 of them last year. How about documentaries? There have been 69 of them so far this year. Even dead genres like musicals get 2 or 3 movies a year now. There were 6 westerns last year! So this really sounds like, "the public doesn't like what I like". Because there are movies for every taste out there. Thank you! I am so sick of this ignorant narrative that there are too many CBMs and no room for anything else in theaters or on TV. It's a lie and you posted the numbers to prove it.
