What made capeshit from the 2000s so kino and distinctive compared

Nostalgia.

It wasn't part of a formulaic "cinematic universe" so they could be distinct and unique.

adapting comic book properties still felt novel and there wasn't a demand to put out like three movies a year so there was room to develop ideas and the general standards of filmmaking

>>82093701
A handful of this, plus a handful of non-standard-capeshit formula. Back then, it was just a handful of disparate creators trying to make their own movies. Now, all of the Marvel movies follow the same shallow but kinda fun template, and all of the DC movies follow that grimdark faggotry that Zack Snyder loves so much.

People really fool themselves into thinking these movies weren't as conventional as the ones from today?

The 2000s didn't flood the market with cinematic universes

Blade Trinity was a more memorable movie than Age of Ultron or Thor 2

>>82093670
Sorry shill, Iron Man too was as generic and uninspired as the rest of the MCU movies. The Avengers is also very, very mediocre. Try harder next time.

>>82093804
They were conventional in that they were movies that followed the general movie formulas. They weren't following THE capeshit formula that every single Marvel movie follows today. DC movies don't follow a formula because they're all fucking messes.

I bet you praise BvS for being kino

>>82093670
For starters they had good directors, also there really wasn't a "formula" yet and the creators weren't going in with a mindset of "how do we use this to advertise the next big event movie?" thus making it a 2 hour generic ad. The MCU may be more accurate to the comics but there is absolutely no soul or vision that Sam Raimi, Ang Lee, or Nolan had.

2000 capeshit was good fun and didn't take itself seriously

Today's capeshit tries to be adult and serious when it's actually not.

A combination of decent directors with some sort of vision along with the fact that they weren't trying to fit into a cinematic mold. I don't own any capeflick movies that came out after tdk and iron man, except tdkr.

>The Avengers is the only movie from this decade that comes close to 2000s capeshit
What a worthless opinion

Hmmm

No forced quips

I'd like to agree with you but he posted Spiderman.

>>82093758

That might have something to do with Snyder making 3 out of the 5 DC films

>>82097729
His quips were very natural

>>82093670
Hulk, superman, and xmen franchise are pretty meh. Spiderman was more of a movie with spiderman than a spiderman movie and Iron Man 1 and 2 had good scripts and writing, even if the plot of 2 goes everywhere.

Robert Downey Jr. is to blame

Iron Man 1 being quippy was actually unique at the time but then it became the only way to make an enjoyable superhero movie in Disney's eyes.
