Have you thought about exploring the "superhero movies will go the way of the western" trope and where it will all end up?
Maybe Disney wins the arms race and buys out Warner Bros, or atleast the DC characters, and as superhero films finally dwindle in popularity there is one final blockbuster movie of Marvel vs DC
This was kind of touched on it but it needs to be amplified, of what now is so obvious: how Fiege foresaw how the supposed antiquated business model of comic books would translate to streaming. He almost missed the boat, with the first Iron Man entering production in 2007 the same year netflix began streaming.
Jake, this is astute, and I think accurate. You might consider another piece on how both Marvel and DC movies are modern gothic-romances. Thsi is why the bombast keeps being over-done, for the sake of "drama" (character be damned, anyone learning some useful life lesson be damned, usually anyway). Good groundwork on the terms so you can update them is here http://faculty.uml.edu/bmarshall/romanticismandgothicartlit.html
“I can almost guarantee that you have seen at least one film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe”
as the exception to the rule here, who has never watched any of this stuff, can say that the piece (mercifully brief) is all the more worth reading from perspective of total ignorance
This article was a total waste of my time. I stopped after the 3rd paragraph because it was BS. His guarantee was wrong because I can’t wait to see probably ALL the superhero movies coming out because at the very least they aren’t boring. This “writer “ should actually try watching the movie without a prejudice against them, maybe he would enjoy it. He comes off sounding like a pretentious ass.
I enjoyed the read. Thanks Jake.

I bit on the title, but felt unfulfilled. What, exactly, was the "policy failure" ?
hot damn, people are unnecessarily pissed off about this
thought the article was alright, and accurate in summing up the aggressive need to make money via streaming nowadays

“Neither of these is good art.”
It is common error to mistake form for substance. It is also intellectually lazy.

Thanks for putting into words things that have been on my mind.

Says a writer that no one has every heard of and hasn’t produced anything of value to society whatsoever.
Why has journalism stooped so low that expletives are common? What happened to the skillful use of words to bring a point through?
