As I finally got two minutes this sunday morning to actual sit down and read the paper I came across a huge picture of Thor on the front cover of the Arts& Leisure section of the NY Times.
The article was more of the same that I have been reading for the last years. Yes, Marvel is doing great but can they continue to do great? Yes superhero movies have done well lately but of course that cannot last.
There was actually another article on the next page about "Super" with raine wilson.
Over and over I have read how super hero flix must be coming to an end. I ask Why? What Hollywood and the main stream media can't understand is that if a movie has a good story, great characters and is original then it will be entertaining and that is what we go to the movies for. That is why I buy comics.
Now if Marvel and DC started putting out junk movies then yes they will fail but not because they are based on Superheros.
I end this with - Green Lantern will suck. Thor will rock. Captain America i have no idea.
One last note - The Avengers. I worry that Robert Downey Jr. will be sooooo much better then everyone else in the cast that he will steal the whole show and make them look like morons. But I digress.
