Why aren't comic book movies comic book movies?

the marvel MCU is the biggest franchise in the world right now and it is all pure pulp.

Nolan and Synder are/were the showrunners for DC movies and both preferred gritty or dark movies.

There are a lot of grimdark batman comics. And most comic book movies are colorful and pulpy, even Batman's film history is mostly bright, colorful, schlocky and weird.

Most comic book movies try to bury their cheesy roots, practically abandoning their traditional roots. Marvels' movies have a lighter tone but have such dull and generic ways of presenting themselves.The colors are muted and dull, favoring bland environments for their climactic showdowns. The general design is an attempt to "modernize" this world, but the original designs usually get either lost or butchered in the fray.

Am I the only one who wants an honest to god adaptation of these works? Why do we cater to superficial audiences who resent the inherent campiness of these works?

Ive always prefered the 30's version of batman where he murdered gangsters.

My ultimate batman movie is in a noir style.

Yes, but the best of those "grimdark" books still used the original designs and artwork as a jumping off point. The use of color is still striking, depicting a world of costumed heroes with an ounce of self-awareness.

Bullshit. I don't think you've ever watched a Marvel movie.

This applies to the Marvel Netflix shows, yes, but not the movies.

Original Batman was just a vigilante/detective that wore a costume. No bat cave, bat mobile or gagets. He just drove around in a regular car and shot people.

>The ending battle of "The Avengers" is a gray, destroyed city during an overcast day.
>The ending battle of "The Avengers 2" is in a gray, destroyed city during an overcast day.
>The big showdown of "Civil War" is in a gray, empty airport during an overcast day.

And this is all shot with either a terrible lens or with some filter added in post to dull the colors. The bright colors on all of these characters should really pop, but they all just seem so terribly muted.

Tbh I enjoy the weird contrast between batman being a fucking bat themed ninja in a michael mann thriller

Why the fuck are you talking about the visuals? I thought you were talking about the actual tone of the movies. Also, the visuals aren't even gritty or edgy they're just bland and boring.

It's a visual medium?? Would you expect someone to analyze poetry without mentioning the prose????

I was calling Snyder and the DCU grimdark, not the MCU.

>>82852986
No
>>82852988
I wasn't really asking why, I just got confused.

To answer the OP question, it's mostly all focus tested bullshit when it comes to MCU. As for Nolan and Snyder, I guess that's just the style that they wanted to go for. Nolan wanted to make a grittier more realistic Batman to differentiate it from the previous Batman films. I assume that DCEU was made with darker tone in mind because the studio wanted to contrast MCU and also not be accused by normans of copying the MCU.

Snyder and DCU isn't dominating capeshit
