    Bad writing.
    Bad acting.
    Bad CGI.
    This is why the comic book movie declined.

    I get so sick of the media narrative of genre fatigue. They destroy our characters. They swap genders and races. They put preachy messaging into the movies. They scream and yell at their fans. They blame us for their failures. If you want to use fatigue, that is what we are tired of.

      You were always meant to reject woke media. (That is, you were never meant to accept Cultural Marxism in media.) The reaction you described was the intention from the beginning.
      Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired.
      From BBC Arts
      Eighty years ago, in Munich, Adolf Hitler staged two exhibitions which defined the way we think about modern art. The Great German Art show displayed the artists he approved of, the Degenerate Art show displayed the artists he despised. In these two exhibitions, mounted side by side in adjacent galleries, the battle lines were drawn between traditionalism and modernism. It’s a battle that’s still being fought today.
      Do you like art that’s realistic and reassuring? Or do you prefer art that’s experimental or disturbing? Maybe you like a bit of both - in which case, you’re like a lot of people who went to see these shows.
      The Nazis wanted people to see both shows, but they didn’t want people to make up their own minds. The idea was to see the Degenerate Art show, and see how German art had been debased - and then see the Great German Art show, and see how the Nazis has redeemed it.
      You are meant to see how Liberal Marxists have degenerated art and look for someone to come along who would redeem it.

      Wrong decade entirely lol.
      Back when this movie came out for renting or buying on VHS, Brandon’s passing was one of the biggest reasons why so many went out to rent it from the movie store - it became known as the movie where “Bruce Lee’s son died”. We didn’t have internet back then (well, we did, but nothing like we have today for every single home as dial-up wasn’t even a known thing yet) and not everyone was intertwined with movie and celebrity culture to know every single person or every movie that released. We did, however, all know who Bruce Lee was during that era. Hell, most I remember didn’t even know he had a son until after that movie came out and it was known he died on set … was one of those “holy shite, Bruce is a legend, he has a son that was acting that died on set for this very movie? we have to see this”
      Tack on the movie having a good soundtrack like someone else pointed out, it’s why it grew a supposed “cult following”. Didn’t take years and years and years like you’re claiming.
      You have to understand something when it comes to the idea of movies that came out in the 90s being labeled as having a “cult following” after its release: hardly any movies around that time had immediate big followings once hitting movie theaters (outside of certain blockbusters with big names actors or franchises well known by most). Almost all of them took time to have word of mouth travel about them being worthy of seeing. They often formed long _after_ … when the movie could be purchased on VHS.
      VHS releases for movies back then took a while to come out - up a year for a number of big movies, 6mos at the least for others. Soundtracks were similar. They’d come out some time after the movie hit theaters - wasn’t instant like we have today (and with what we’ve been spoiled with for the last 2 decades).
      Once it became available to rent/buy, THAT is where the supposed cult following came in … because more could just go to a local VHS store and rent it for a few days to watch several times. So many movies get immediately slapped with “it has a cult following” label so quickly it seems because it took a while for everyone to actually see it or because it didn’t do big numbers - it glosses over how movie releases were back then. Just saying. Doesn’t mean they were bad movies when they were in theater, nor does it mean they weren’t successful. It just took time with movies to find their following prior to the internet … which was normal for just about all movies from the 90s and earlier.

      The script killed it 3 times before it even started shooting.
      It would be better if they removed the actor altogether
      and changed the name to Crow, Shelly Story.
      So many bate and switch in the last 5 years.
      Nobody wants to see those "better" women who
      are so awesome and therefore must replace old male characters.
      Once this idea is introduced, it becomes incredibly hard to make
      not even a good move, a decent one. Ideology is toxic to moves.

For 3 movies straight. And suddenly, she becomes a raving mass murderer because her date got done in. Good luck trying to identify with that... in a movie where Strange was turned into the babysitter of a bumbling nobody teen we'll likely never see again in the MCU after the disaster that was The Marvels.

There's no room left for good old fashioned storytelling. You can watch The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2 without any prior knowledge and you would get as much from them as someone who has seen Batman Begins and Spider-Man 1. And more importantly, they end in such a way that a sequel isn't really a requirement, with Batman driving up the ramp and Spidey swinging with MJ watching. They're self-contained, story-driven, and made with care. They're not episode 2 in a 20 episode season like all of these ''shared universes'' corporate products.

    It's more like hollywierd doesn't understand what comics are and how superheroes or even worse anti heroes work. It's not that difficult. Give the people what they long for. Fan service isn't necessarily nostalgia bait. Deadpool gave the people the wolverine they had been begging for. If they had made a really dark and gritty punisher or an actual revenge driven psychopath Venom they could've sold way more tickets. They just don't want to take any risks and try to be formulaic. Instead of treating each character like they have their own personality you get carbon copies of one archetype. It's the downfall of th character because they don't understand the source material.

    Here's my idea for a joker 2 that i threw together within an hour or so.
    Start out with a montage of the joker at the head of his clown possy rampaging through gotham city, causing chaos wherever he goes and absolutly loving every single second of it. Then we meet our main character, a detective of the gotham police tasked with leading the anti-joker task force. Let's call him Joe. Joe is a career officer and pretty much the epitome of an upper middle class citizen. He genuinly believes that everybody in society has equal chances to succeed and if you just work hard and follow the law you will succeed in society. And he knows that to be true because he is the result of that. However, he also holds the typical subtextual ideas that poverty or criminality are the result of a moral failing. He also has a wife and child that work as his emotional anchor throughout the movie. We also see him give advice to his child to get over a difficult situation and the adivce is something vacuous like "laughing is the best medicine" or something along the lines. Now joe is under severe pressure from the mayor as well as the police chief because he has so much trouble catching the joker. Primarily because the joker is so utterly unpredictable. Over the first half of the movie we follow joe as he tries to catch the joker, investigates the crime scenes, interrogate captured members of the clown possy etc etc. The main focus is here on joe and his journey into the darkness of the underside of society and his struggles to get what he learns there together with his deeply held believes about fairness and the law. And we see him slowly crack. Now it's important here to not try and portray joker and his clown possy as some kind of antihero or their actions as some kind of resistance movement. They are just as evil and uncaring as the system they rage against. Anyway, joe slowly manages to corner the joker and finally manages to arrest the joker. The joker is then put on trial and quickly senetnced to death. The joker than gets some epic last words raging against the system and says something along the lines of "madness is just one tragedy away" and "the joker" being immortal. He then is electrocuted while laughing the joker laugh. The important part here is that we see all of this through the eyes of joe. The last third or so of the movie we watch joe back in his job and while he appears to be normal, we see him being deeply affected by his experiences on the underside of society. The clown possy is still out there but now they are leaderless and fracture. They are still causing unrest but they can't do much damage anymore due to lacking a leader. Then joes wife and child die some random death. Maybe in a car accident where the driver gets away and we never learn who it was. And that send joe down a in a rapid downward spiral. He gets thrown out of the police force because of some mental problem he developed as a result of the sudden death of his loved ones, he loses all help etc. We then see him stumble aimlessly through a street, the passerbys avoiding him, mocking him and maybe throwing stuff at him. He stumbles onto the graveyard to the grave of his wife and child. There he has a hallucination of his wife and child in which his child repeats the advice he gave his child in the beginning of the movie "laughing is the best medicine". He then breaks down, promises his child to always laugh and carves the joker smile into his face while laughing. In the endscene we see a group of clowns hanging out in some warehouse or something like that when suddenly the light goes out. We hear laughter, one of the clowns takes out a flashlight an shines it around until the light lands on joe, now in a joker outfit with his joker smile carved into his face and laughing. The clowns are taken aback at first one of them exclaiming "How?" and joe, the new joker repeating the final words of arthur fleck. "The joker is immortal". More laughing, now with the clowns joining in.
    I'd say it's not great but for something thrown together in around an hour quite serviceable. It needs a truly spectacular actor for the role of joe though and i think it's probably gonna be quite difficult to pull off right.

If the new Captain America starred an actual Steve Rogers, we would like it for that reason, not nostalgia.

However, both Deadpool and Wolverine and Venom 3: The Last Dance were the only real success in 2024. Deadpool and Wolverine is definitely the best and my favorite superhero film of 2024. In fact, Deadpool and Wolverine is the best film I have ever seen in 2024. Venom 3 still made a lot of money at the box office despite mixed reviews from critics.
