The Room is a bad movie that's incredibly entertaining. BvS is a mediocre movie that makes you wish it would just end, but then doesn't, it just keeps going and going and at no point gives you any reason to care about what's happening beyond like 3 good scenes in the whole 2 and a half hour long runtime.

I'd rather watch 2 hours of Tommy Wissaeu awkwardly throwing a football around with his bros than sit through yet another scene of characters drearily pontificating.

Even if Disney paid off reviewers, the fact that the audience score is dropping at a rate of about 8-12 points a DAY should be a sign something is up.

But of course WB is also to blame, because they felt the need to shoehorn every fucking setup for the next 3 years so they could play catch up and not once thinking it may be too much too soon.

The WB? No. They made too many bad investments for the last... what, 15 years now? Remember when they bought America Online? Then that crashed. Then they bought Time Magazine because, you know, the magazine industry was just doing fantastic. Then their movie studio started releasing dud after dud while they invested more and more money into each one. Like... normally I would say Warner Brothers is "too big to fail" but holy crap they have made some phenomenally poor decisions so I don't know exactly WHAT will happen. Probably start shuttering divisions and studios and selling them off?

Zack Snyder, September 18th 2015:

>I feel like he’s right. But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman. They’re not just, like, the flavour of the week Ant-Man – not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next Blank-Man?

Sebastian Stan, December 5, 2015:

>I would say we’re still making something very original in our own way. I mean, the Russos are coming in and taking something people are used to and they’re shaping it up and changing it in a very different way. They’re not trying to mimic a better Christopher Nolan movie or something like that.

WB is a giant company that has many different offshoots, so yeah.

DC franchises ... probably yeah. They still make tons of money on games (Arkham series is successful, Injustice was successful, DC universe online... is that still a thing? not sure), they have cartoons, etc.

Their comics is outsold by Marvel but neither of big 2 actually make that much money on actual comics anyway. And they are still the 2nd most successful comics company, they are in no danger to be outsold by, say, Image or Dark Horse.

DC movies - I guess that depends on how SS and WW will do. They will not cancel those.

I'm baffled by the score, and I'm a Marveldrone. Apart from a few visually stunning, but ultimately useless scenes (mostly dream sequences), I loved the movie. The fact that, say, Age of Ultron is at 75%, while this is stuck at 30% is ridiculous. ANd I'm saying this with all my love for Marvel.

>>81060388
If you ignore all the memes thrown out in defense, a lot of the complaints seem to be centered around the fact that the movie's first two acts are a jumbled (and even worse, tedious) mess of wooden speeches and sequel hooks.

That's not the kind of flaw that gets better with time and hindsight. That's a little too objective to be just a knee-jerk disappointment reaction. If anything the forgiveness of that kind of flaw is what fades over time.
>>
>>81059789
It's a mostly mediocre movie with good and bad parts to it, but it was hyped up to a ridiculous degree so it's mostly going to be viewed as disappointing at best.

It's basically Thor movies and Age of Ultron tier but Marvel has good and favorably looked upon movies, no Snyder, and established relationships, so people overlook it or think it's just fine.

>>81060153
>This movie is gonna be a case of critics hated while idiots loved

There's no doubt the Bayformers and Man of Steel crowd will love the shit out of this.

I am going to be honest here.

I was hoping for a great movie and I liked enough Man of Steel.

But BvS is just a chore, from editing to most of acting.
I liked Batfleck and will watch his trilogy (if it still happens) but this is definitely a bad movie.

What I am trying to say, imagine if you wereiexpecting a premium steak at fancy restaurant but instead waiter brings you expired chicken with mint sauce,pineapples and onions.

4/10 from me.
Didn't enjoyed it at all, but gave me some hope for standalone Batman if Afleck gets to direct.

Snyder NEEDS to fuck off.

That's never a good thing to bank on. Especially when the predecessor movie had poor word of mouth. ESPECIALLY when studio goes "People probably won't be smart enough to get it" a week before the damn thing is even out.

in order to break a billion it needs to make the predicted $350m global this weekend, but you need to understand that comes from in some areas 3 extra days of release (it came out on the 23 and 24 in a couple of dozen countries)

if it isn't doing well there and the reviews put people off, it cannot make $350m this weekend, which means it cannot break a billion because the formula for predicting each successive week is (roughly) half what it made in the previous week, not including the extra days of release prior to the first weekend

so if you make 100 the first week, you'll make 50 the next, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, and so on until you're making very little after about three months and you stop showing; the very rare exceptions to this make relatively shallow drops between weeks, and sometimes show increases on the second or third weekend over the preceding weeks; they don't make money solidly for three months, however, and there is always a tail-off effect as audiences seek something new out instead

however with the weekend Zootopia just had, it's likely a lot of people will go see that again instead of this; so it's going to lose out there, and it's true that there isn't a lot of direct competition this weekend but there are still alternatives with better reviews and now word of mouth, all of which hurts this release

in any case with a global first weekend of $350m, since the 4 days following tend to be 50%, it could only have been projected for $1,050,000,000 - and that was prior to the reviewlocaust; say it makes $200m this weekend world wide (which is respectable) it'll end up on something like $600m after three months, which is a big gross - but not big enough for what they've spent
>>
>>81060605
Marvel is much safer than DC due to the overall tone of their comics.

Marvel is much more easy going and less grimdark than DC which means it is easier to mix a lot of popular genres like comedy,drama,romance and uplifitng themes.

DC digged their grimdark hole and their paragon that SHOULDN'T be grimdark (Supes) got a movie that ends with 9/11 times hundred.

I know. But WB put all its weight on a broken leg. Sony did the exact same thing.

These things need more heart than this. I know it's tiresome at this point, but both FOX and DC need their own version of Feige. Despite anything anyone might have against him, he defends the directors and understands the source material well enough for it to work, and Disney always goes for the long game.

Marvel Studios is just the new Pixar or Animation studios, and it shows in their hierarchy, the guy that goes to set and picks everything talks to the CEO directly, there are no layers of suits in the middle. Unless the times where there are (the more 'important' movies financially, where they kind of fuck up (IM2/3,Ultron), but even now they've kicked everyone out but the directors and Feige, who reports only to bob iger. I guess they do have someone, but it's Snyder :-/

DC and FOX don't have that luxury, and by god does it show. Only their indie shit that isn't on the balance of losing the rights the producers care nothing about actually get surprising results (Deadpool).

>>
>>81060719
Bruce was yelling in his face, dude, you'd do the same
>>
The thing that stuns me is that the problems in BvS are the exact same problems with Man of Steel.
- The pacing consists of a plodding and tedious first two acts with a bum rush of action for the entirety of the third.
- The actors given performances that consist entirely of wooden expository soliloquies rife with symbolism and overacted hammy catch phrases in lieu of characterization
- Plot points aren't explored to any meaningful resolution, because "this will be covered it in the next one"
- A frantic disjointed narrative of scenes that don't build on each other, visually stunning perhaps, but like a jigsaw puzzle made from a dozen different sets.

(Notice I said absolutely nothing about tone or humor and people will still pretend that's what I'm talking about).

The writing was on the wall with the LAST movie and none of those flaws were fixed. And yes, critics DID point out those flaws last time around too. How could they not? They were painfully obvious!

Civil War won't fail because it can coast on Winter Soldier and Avengers hype.

Strange won't fail because of Cumberbund and the fact that Marvel has turned even C-listers like the Guardians into a box office smash. Hell, even Ant-Man did well enough to get a sequel added to the line up.

If anything is going to underperform, it's probably going to be Inhumans, at which point Marvel will have blown its load on Infinity War and most people won't be as invested anymore.

It's not about failing, it's about the fact that it won't even get a chance to be shown to the general audience. China has a strict limit on foreign movies, I doubt the local market would take a risk like Panther.
>>
>>81060605
Honestly, with their new slew of directors, I don't see it happening. Maybe Avengers 3 slightly underperforms, but there's no 'flop' ahead of them, really. Only Derrickson and Reed are the weak links, but the former has Feige looking over him to put on his favorite hero and the latter has already proven himself with the first ant-man.

Disney knows how to play the critics game and how to keep people coming back: make reasonably good movies with good characters. Their "flop" was Age of Ultron, and it wasn't that bad at all.

only a nut would do that

did you never learn this? someone who is screaming in your face is trying to provoke you into anger, because when you're angry you just react - you don't plan, you don't use that fabulous grey matter of yours, you just react

which means if they've planned ahead they will be getting you to react according to their plan, not in any way that could possibly benefit you

>but

listen, if the whole of the last three years was about Batman getting crunk with his buddies and trying to glass Superman outside the club, we could have just had a movie about that instead without all of the rest of this shit

It could happen the opposite, they will definitely compare both movies and I can see them giving Civil War some bonus points for not botching it like BvS even if its just super mediocre.
>>
>>81060823

Well, there goes a potential $200 million.

Warner Bros probably makes (and spends) more money on Game of Thrones (and HBO on general) than this.

And it's probably good. We've got the Golden Age of TV, while on cinema side, we got shit like BvS and all the YA crap.
>>
>>81060807
I honestly have no idea. I don't think a lot of people fit the bill, honestly. George Miller or Bruce Timm?

But then there's the problem that that producer will answer to the 3 guys before the guy that pays for it, so it's more than just that.
>>
>>81060904
I hope. The movie would get pushed back a year though.
>>
>>81060744
Dude Civil War is going to be compared to BvS and that alone will make people want to see it.

Civil War could end up mediocre like Age of Ultron but it not being BvS will give it an advantage.

>>81061027
They would laugh at Bruce Timm out of the room. DC needs a Marvel Studios of their own. WB will make sure that never happens.
>>
>>81061018
I still don't get how "iconic" translates to "good movie" in people's minds. I'm more of a Marvel guy, and that seems like a very "DC" thought process, so maybe I just don't get it. But haven't we been shown this enough already, with relative no-name superheroes debuting to rave reviews, and famous ones being in shit? There is no correlation between the two things. Ultimately, the most "iconic" characters are the ones that have been in the larger public consciousness the longest. That's it.

Almost all of the positive reviews of The Room are ironic "so bad its good" reviews. Nobody really thinks it's a good movie.

Kind of dumb for RT to code those as "fresh" reviews, though. It'd be more accurate if any review putting something in the "so bad it's good" category counted as a negative one, even if the critic enjoyed it.

It's basically a meme to say this shit is worse than hitler. It's not THAT bad. It's also unanimous that it's better than MoS but the scores don't reflect that. It's weird. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's not hot garbage, but still. A 20 something%

It was good because it had a good script, despite some bullshit additions like the fight with Falcon, but the movie only looks good during the shrinking scenes; Reed is a serviceable director but not much else. I wonder what they'll do now that they have to write a story from scratch.

Nah, AoU far worse for me. The thing about it is that the moment I left the theatre, I couldn't recall anything interesting about the movie.
BvS has some serious flaws, but there are a lot of visuals and even a few jokes that stayed with me.

People are only praising her performance because she was a different face. You spend two hours looking at an emotionless Cavill and the hammy Eisenberg, any new face brings the movie up. Even if it's just the generic perfect grrl power Gadot Wonder Woman.

Both also overuse dream sequences to establish sequels.

>>81061478
Having seen it, I would say both. Weak script and hammy symbolism are what sink it. Unlike others I thought the cast was honestly great, and had some really good chemistry. I would love to see them act together in these roles again, but with...y'know, better writing and direction.

the problem is that people that aren`t fans wont understand it... its a complex movie for everyone that hasn't read the comics... believe me... i just got out of the theater and hear some people criticizing it.. its obvious that they didn't understand it.. i always said... the dcu is a incredible story narrated nolan style... not just one movie

They like making money, this is true.

However - they're under the false belief that the key to making money on movies is to rely on spreadsheets and statistical analysis rather than just letting artists make good movies.


When a studio hires a competent director and then gives them the freedom to bring on some great actors, writers, and VFX guys and just do what they do best - you get Men In Black

When a studio meddles in every fucking aspect of a film's production, resorting to design-by-focus-group, and picking staff and actors based on what demographic appeal boxes they tick off instead of their talent - you get Men In Black II.

This is just getting sad.

It's to the point where cape movies are treated as different rival sports teams.

So I just came back from the movie, I actually didn't have any expectations for this and I'm not that into DC. Thought the movie was pretty bad, maybe DC fans will like it more? I don't know.

Was Snyder forced to do anything he didn't want to do?

It sounds to me like he got everything he wanted.

BvS is almost three hours long -- no one is telling him to cut anything.


And like Zack says in his interview: he doesn't know how to do it any better.


Where Blade Runner was a case of a good director being held back by a studio that didn't understand his movie.


BvS is a case where a dumb studio gives a bad director everything he wants.

Isn't it weird? The other day I watched MoS and I couldn't help but think...

Big studios have immense talent and resources at their disposal... actors that are good and experienced (or at least above the rest of the crop), the design is in the hands of amazing artists, all the technicians and peopel at work on the movie are probably experienced and high-tier. This is a multi-million budget movie, yet they somehow manage to make such a horrible shit. Does nobody ever question what's being done?

I mean holy shit, Russel Crowe must have stopped for a moment and said "wait what the fuck is my character doing here exactly?" or something. How is it possible to fuck up on such a basic level?

Marvel will never get a rotten score, because their movies are intentionally made to pander to pop sensibilities. I'm sure they have it down to a science at this point. It's sad really, because it makes you realize that the film industry has sunken down to a level of commercialization and industrialization that really has never been reached before.

Also, I'm not a DC fanboy. I don't give a shit about BvS failing. Warner Bros is definitely part of the problem.

They trusted Zack because he likes comic books (from what I read, he actually does) and really wanted to get it done

And it was actually Nolan who recommended him, and Nolan made Dark Knight (at the time TDKR was not done yet), so they trusted him.

Now why did they let him do BvS after MoS, that is a mystery to me, but maybe they looked at Nolan again and well, Batman Begins actually wasn't that successful either and probably was even a flop, and they though "hey it might be better for the second time".

Also they saw Marvel and the sweet sweet Marvel money.

You can claim to be an unbiased party and I'll even believe it but the fact remains that you're saying this in a thread about the McDonalds of superhero franchises failing to appeal to people.
Because that's what Superman and Batman are. For all the success Marvel has seen, deserved or not, whatever, they still haven't made it to that culture mega icon pop status as the Superman and Batman franchises have.
They had two of the most commercially recognizable characters not only in the world, but in the history of mankind, headlining the same film, and WB STILL couldn't get that to work.

So no, people aren't just buying into commercialization and pandering. They're not just demanding formulaic flash with no substance regardless of quality. This movie's reception is proof of that.

‘Batman V. Superman’ Promotion Urges Filmgoers To Just Get This Over With


LOS ANGELES—Promising that it would be best to just buy a ticket and take care of the unpleasantness right away, a new Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice promotional campaign launched this week reportedly urged filmgoers to simply get this whole thing over with. “Listen, you all knew this day was coming, so just go sit your ass in the theater, stare up at the IMAX screen for a couple hours, and be done with this shit once and for all,” said Warner Brothers marketing strategist Elizabeth Harris, who encouraged fans to make plans with friends right now so they could all bite the fucking bullet over opening weekend. “You know you can’t put this off forever, so just suck it up and plow through this thing as quickly as possible. Listen, you’re going to have to pay the piper now or at some point down the road on a commercial flight or during a broadcast on TNT, so you might as well just pony up the extra 10 bucks for 3D and never think about it again.” At press time, Warner Brothers had reportedly kicked off a last-minute Batman V. Superman media blitz in major markets advising audiences to just bend over and take it like a champ.
>>
>>81059628
What's I don't understand is that the audience liked it while the reviews art really harsh.
When you think about it, the movie is a prequel, it's just here to build an universe .
We can hope that other movies are better. Honestly the acting wasn't bad and it was overall a "pretty" movie.
>>
>>81062841
A director has more control over a movie than anybody else.

While the writer is certainly very important, all of the critics complaints revolve mostly around the things a director is responsible for.

Which all makes sense, since Snyder's always been a shit director, regardless of the writing.

Where is your God allegory now DC fans?
>>
>>81063093
>I am now aware the first Transformers movie is better than BvS too
>>
>>81062831
Yes but I meant that on a deeper level. I mean, look at Transformers movies. They're horrible movies but they don't really want to be movies, they want to be something else and they succeed at it. The people behind those movies have everything planned because millions are involved, and they know what they're doing.

So even the failures from a movie-making perspective will make use of all the talent and work involved. I expect this from every large studio at this point. You either get a movie that pushes the boundaries and tries something new, or you get a soulless cash grab. In either case the people at the top will have reached their objectives.

Then there's movies like MoS that just FAIL. And when a project of this caliber fails it raises a few red flags. What the hell happened there? Who was working on this movie exactly? Who wrote this screenplay? Why did nobody ever question the screenplay?
>>
>>81063093
Not really.

They don't want to just make money, they want this to start a franchise so people love this and go to see all the sequels, sidequels, spin-offs, buy all the franchise, T-shirts, shitty freemium mobile game tie-ins...

BvS will do none of that
>>
>>81063093
Right. That's the point.

Blockbuster Hollywood producers don't give a shit if a movie is good or bad. If a film is shit, like the TF series, they keep making more of them.

The problem is that people know a movie is shit, and they go out and see it anyway, so that just encourages to make more shit movies.

So you can blame Snyder. You can blame writers. You can blame casting directors. The real assholes in this mess are the ones who pay money to go see it.
>>
>>81062290
The shit storm won't start internally until the get the financial numbers.
>>
>>81060605
Marvel has a formula that they stick to just enough that it'll always do at least OK, and varies it up just enough each time for general audiences to not get bored of the formula.

MAYBE Infinity War since the whole 2-parter movie thing is very rarely handled well, but I can't imagine them really having a "bomb." Disney's quality control wouldn't let that happen. At worst, they'll likely just fizzle out with each consecutive movie getting slightly lower and lower scores as people finally get sick and Disney gets too complacent.

Oh wait, Thor: Ragnarok is still happening. Yeah, that shit will be a fucking travesty.

Go watch it for yourself. Green Lantern was a bore, but at least it doesn't shit all over the character. BvS manages to do that with TWO characters. And it manages to be even MORE of a bore. This is a very, very, very boring movie.

I let myself get hyped up for BvS. I really wanted it to be good.

TF has never had a bad gross for what they actually paid to make them; both Batman and Superman have, repeatedly; WB's own projections seem to be saying they were thinking a billion was a distant target originally, but after this - they're probably not going to get enough to make a sequel worthwhile

the comparison is not apt

not

apt

it's also true that while Michael Bay is far from fuckin Shakespeare and is often written off as the exploding titties guy, he's a hard worker who genuinely sits down with whatever project he has and looks at what worked for it in the past which would gel with his own style and the story he wants to tell

so for Transformers he's on a roll because the man loves cars and trucks and military hardware more than he loves his children, and his bone-on for tacticool shines through in movies that are as much about human heroes coming together as military units under fire and plucky unexceptionals rising to the challenges life throws at them as they are about giant aliens wailing on each other over a fight you would otherwise have no stake in at all

whereas Zack Snyder likes cool visuals but doesn't really go any deeper than the average music video to tell a story or define a character

>I just have no idea how that movie got made. What the hell.
That's what's so amazing to me. Fan4stic has an excuse. Fox HAD to get that movie going to retain the rights. They were on a deadline.

WB wasn't under a deadline. WB owns DC. They could've taken 20 years to get this right. In some respects, they DID take 20 years trying and failing to get this off the ground. For all the shitposts and IT'LL BE GOAT CAPEKINO stuff we saw in the last month leading up to this, as obnoxious as that was, I can see why. Batman and Superman? It's a gimmie. It's an easy no brainer win.

WB failing this hard is like those anime characters with senses of direction so bad that they get lost going in a straight line. It's like reality warped around them just so that they could be fuckups.
>>
>>81063221
Yeah exactly. I mean how can you say "okay let's make a Fantastic 4 movie" and greenlight a script that is so terrible? I swear I would pay good money to read a book that explains why and what decisions were made.

Was it some marketing guy that came in and said "no no folks, you can't do this scene. we have data that say that if you do this instead, the audience likes it 3% more"? I mean it's not like you're handling super-experimental movies, you can easily stick by a formula with these movies and make it work. Marvel does it very well. This is a team effort, it's not like 1 or 2 people decide everything.

>>
>>81063353
It made less money than they were expecting, because it was a shit movie, and they scrapped other plans because of its failure and rushed forward with this BvS shit.

And its failure affected BvS, with Snyder getting butthurt over MoS's reviews and raising the stakes on Superman and Batman's grimdark edgelord bullshit, and throwing in the whole "Boy it's a good thing those Saiyans only blew up an abandoned part of town" bullshit.

>>81063221
Oh there's a simple answer to that. Fox wanted to keep the rights but didn't actually want to make the movie. They kept pushing it off until the point where there was barely any time left to get it done before they would have lost the rights from non-use. They saw that Chronicle was a superhero movie that was made on a tiny budget in a short amount of time and did well in the box office, so they got Josh Trank to do it, said "welp, that should be good then" and walked away. Then they came back a few months later, went "ok, the deadline for keeping the rights is almost here, show us what you've got."

Then Trank showed them what he had, which was a horrible mess that lacked a third act of any kind, and they all went FUCK, WHAT DO WE DO?! and they tried to salvage it, but it was beyond the point of salvaging because of the budget already being spent and the deadline for keeping the rights rapidly approaching.

On the contrary, a lot of fans made excuses for the Phantom Menace and kept claiming they liked it in the weeks an months it came out. It even had like a 60-70% tomato rating for the first couple of weeks.

>>
>>81063494
No, TF had already got 20 years of franchise behind it - it had never really been off-air or out of toystores in all that time, and it never really had a bad year. Look at the number of fags on 4chan and elsewhere who are prepared to argue their generation's version was the best - and it still sells. It will probably always sell unless they have Optimus Prime rape Starscream and send his corpse back to Megatron as a warning.

With Batman and Superman, even just going by the movies there were huge flops in the past 20 years, and widening that out - the last couple of Batman cartoons are living in the shadow of BTAS like Burton's movies never did with the 60s show, because when you get down to it those newer cartoons aren't very good and aren't offering anything new, just doing what has already been done, in a far worse way.

Superman? I'm not sure there was every really any coming back from three failed movies, especially after Reeve made the character his own. What the character needed was a Keaton and Burton combo the way that Batman had, to break out from the Reeve and Donner combo, but it never got that. Instead we got the tv extra and overhyped director combo not once but twice. Twice. You'd think they'd learn.

This is not like TF. Fuck, if they had a digital Superman with fuckin' Dean Cain's voice and a digital Batman with Adam West's or Michael Keaton's, it'd be like Transformers just that little bit to make the comparison work - because theirs were popular iterations of the characters, just like the best Prime is Peter Cullen.

Instead they ignored what has worked for Superman and Batman and went with something else. Fuck 'em. Don't put your fingers in the machine unless you're prepared to lose the whole arm. They got paid a lot to make this, anon. No pity here.

Deadpool literally saved cape shit by showing executive meddling isn't actually necessary. The fact it changed a few figures on some marketing retard's spread sheet is of no consequence as it could be applied to literally any successful movie. Whether it is Dark Knight deviating the industry towards dark and gritty movies or Marvel deviating the industry towards goofy, silly movies for the whole family it literally makes no difference. Executives have always made shit by relying on statistics and focus groups and they will continue to make shit this way.

I disagree. BvS is worse than every single Marvel Studios movie to date.

It's worse than all of the Spider-Man movies and all of the X-Men movies with the possible exception of X-Men Origins. But even that's up for debate.

This is a lower echelon comic book film. Not utter shit like Fan4stic or Catwoman. But it's on the same level as other almost irredeemable piles of vomit like Daredevil, Ghost Rider 2, Superman III, or the recent Ninja Turtles movie. Batman Forever is better than this filth.

interstellar was shit. the beginning was ok, but from the moment the dumb bitch fucked up, costed them years in time and the life of a crew member, and then goes on a little haughty speech about how her opinion should be heard because of love and the power of love, i gave up on it.

and rightly so, because right afterwards everyone gets fucked in the ass for not trusting the power of love and taking a logical decision.

even worse though, is that even their techno-bable and pseudoscience are shit as well, what with the hypercube inside a black hole made by humans from the future so a man can manipulate gravity to set the hands of a watch to a pattern that his daughter can understand and decipher to help humankind survive.

You have to consider the climate of the world at the time. The entirety of the first world was going through a financial crisis and was sinking fast. People were losing homes, businesses, and savings one after another in a cascade of unrelenting misery. The Dark Knight featured a world where chaos had overtaken a city and a lone hero attempted to save them (Batman/Gordon/Harvey depending on the in universe point of view. Yet, despite the hero's best efforts he fell. However, where he showed a path of light, the people followed instead of giving into their questionably base nature (Ferry Scene/Kill the reporter scene). The movie demonstrated that people were still full of hope and light despite the world falling down around them.

This movie, however, gives the impression that no good deed goes unpunished and that heroes would rather destroy the symbols they represent in a drawn out brawl than attempt to set an example for the world. We are still in chaotic times IRL, and this movie does less to provide hope than it does exemplify our tumultuous, irrational, and irascible nature.

it will depend on how well Civil War does. At this point, Marvel is entering Pixar status with their movies. If their logo is on it, people will go see it and at least get their money's worth.

They kind of are, even though they use sci-fi and fantasy to justify powers, because they have their own tropes and patterns specific to the format. For instance, the "heroes fight before teaming up to defeat the real villain" trope is a feature of the superhero genre. The "death of an important person inspires the main character to heroism" is another. It has rules of its own, patterns that are established that make it a unique group of stories.
