I detest this garbage.
These are bought, sold, over-marketed, "franchise"-films. I find them horrendously constructed, (in terms of dialectics specifically, most of the time these films opt for heavy uses on diegetics, granted, but in the dialect elements of the diegetics I don't see these films/sequences becoming something "larger" than the sum their own parts)... instead it's a lot of "flash, bang, boom," all in the name of making a quick buck... which, (at least for now anyway), appears to be working... but they milk this "buck" to make "more bucks..." yay Das Kapital! Even before you watch the movie your being "primed" out of your wallet. Then buy! Buy, buy, you fools! Buy that: "The Iron Man Toothpaste, but don't forget he needs the Avengers Toothbrush." And wear the shirt that is your favorite superhero... not that it really makes you happy... it makes me, a producer of this tripe, happy because you, the consumer, are marketing me, the producer, my product.
... anyway, this stuff and things like it drive me up a wall...
Anyone in my boat or care to debate this?

EDIT: (As per Yoda's request to clarify)
I don't "like" comic book films, yes. But I made this thread when I was in a bad way. Please forgive me and take this topic as you will. Thank you.
