They can be entertaining moment to moment. But it doesn't add up to anything at all.<br /> <br /> I don't mean they have to be explicitly about something outside themselves, they don't have to be commentary or allegory or whatever. I just mean that they're not even really *stories*, just a series of kinda arbitrary unconnected events and outcomes, they don't really emerge from anything.<br /> <br /> They're kinda just character studies.

I'm a big fan of 80s and 90s Spider-Man cartoons and the 90s X-Men cartoon. Tobey's Spider-Man, X-Men and X2 were all a wonderful experience for me. I don't really care if they go anywhere.<br /> <br /> We're now at the point of saturation, there's so many superhero and special powers type films and TV shows, that it's hard to find something unique to enjoy about each one. Deadpool should be an easy hit, swearing, self-mockery and 4th wall breaks. It still needs a good story and good writers though.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43047.7&return_msg=43047.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43047.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43047_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_43047_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 5 Aug 14:18</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">8 of 24</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43047.8">43047.8</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I got some free* collectible Marvel cards at the supermarket today.

I largely agree. There's an emptiness to many of the stories, and I think you're description of the problem is pretty well correct. There's too much production and too little direction. In other words, all the great ideas are show-boated because the producers think that's where the money is, And, of course, the directors follow that lead because they get hired again and applauded by a cast of millions. But the stories are left behind and if they're even completed, it's an afterthought. And the stories are empty because they're just constructed to bind all the events (great ideas) together rather than being in any sense living, breathing things.<br /> <br /> Which, oddly, is where television series will win. It's because TV writers absolutely have to focus on stories. It's why the Loki TV series was superior to any of the movies featuring Loki, and ( I think) Marvel Agents of SHIELD was more engaging than the parallel movies.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43047.11&return_msg=43047.2" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43047.11"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="43047.12" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
