Message: [QUOTE="mets1090, post: 1340462, member: 72"] I actually had some stuff typed up about this helping the video game comparison. Just as the vast majority of major video games either suck or are just lazy, movies are the same way. We have to rely on a handful of good studios/developers to create good video games and a handful of awesome film directors to create original films that actually contribute to the advancement of the medium. In the same way I know I can rely on Dog and Rockstar to produce good games, I know I can rely on Nolan, Tarantino, Scorcese, etc. to produce good movies. And just as those game studios tend to focus on one title for like 18 months at a time, those directors don't just spew movies out every year. I think that 30 years from now, even though this will probably be known as the comic movie era, we'll still have plenty of classic films too because those types of great directors aren't gone. Their output is just vastly outnumbered. And it's always been that way. It's not like 30 years ago most movies were classics. We just only talk about the classics because the rest are forgettable. Also just as a final defense of Marvel/Disney, while it is easy for them to just churn out these movies because back stories are already written, I don't see it as a bad thing that they are exposing people to comic literature. As long as the quality of the films remains at a high level relative to other action movies, I'm fine with it. They're going to start dipping eventually (a big part of the franchise will die when Robert Downey Jr. decides to take the suit off). I just hope they cut it off soon enough to stop that from diminishing how good they originally were. [/QUOTE]
