Cause people view that stuff as being for kids

Movies carry a sense of legitimacy that other mediums do not.
I think partially because of how well regarded actors are and how much money they cost and make.
Also I think they are the closest people get to the idea seeming like its a real thing. Even though in many ways its just as cartoonish or fantastical. Because its real people filmed in such a way that makes them look like events really unfolding, i think it resonates with far more people than other forms of media.

>why does the live-action movie medium make such a huge impact on people?

>Why are movies a mass media to the extent that they are?

Are you really asking this question? Cause that's a hell of a question, with reasons both historical and cultural.

I would be shocked to find a comic or cartoon with the budget of a Hollywood movie. Not saying that is reflective of quality.

In Bizarro World, the source material for most adaptations is film, and people can't wait for them to be adapted to print.

Uggh. All these casuals pretending to like Guardians of the Galaxy because they made it into an ongoing. I bet they've never even seen Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 or know who Chris Pratt is.

>Comics, cartoons and games

Shitty kiddy stuff

>Live action

Mature stuff for mature people such as myself.

It's what normies would say.

hahhaa, this sounds perfect

Because reading is hard :(

Movies are a more visceral and thus more accessible experience.

More than live action movies being high-regarded, I'm more surprised about non-movie media being disregarded to the point of entitlement. And comics have it the worst.
God have mercy on your soul if you dare like a comic based on a movie universe. It doesn't matter how better the story or the characters are in the comic than the movie, people will automatically discard you opinion and/or shout "Not canon!! Only the movies matter!!"

Comics and cartoons require you to use your imagination. The story pretty much only exists in your brain.

Movies allow you a visual and auditory window into the world of the comic. The characters are played by real people, with effects made to look like reality. It allows you to visualize a comic story as a real event, turning a figment of your imagination into a living piece.

This dichotomy isn't new either. Books have always been translated to visual media. Before movies existed, books, and even mythologies (pre-historic equivalent of comics) were adapted as plays. People have always wanted to see characters come to life.

Games are a relatively new phenomenon. Arguably, they make as big of an impact on people as movies. I'd wager that the Arkham games had almost as much of an impact on people as the Dark Knight trilogy did.

If you said 'books' id agree with you. But comics and cartoons....not so much.
The only things you might be adding yourself is sound or in the case of comics some movement. But theyre still the vision of the artist involved in the end.

Because 10-100x as many people go to the movies.

I mean this is asking why people give a shit about comiccon when there are plenty of other conventions. Because it is the biggest at what it does.

literally just this

the difference between a book describing an explosion and seeing an explosion is massive

Comics do imo. Otherwise we would not have so many faggots screaming about some comics being confusing or trippy.
