What is the appeal of capeshit?
It's an easy way for normies to establish their geek credentials.
Male-power fantasy
it's just something cool that could never happen in real life
>>27377656
The fantasy of being a hero and doing cool stuff.
Also the gay shit is pretty cool
>>27377684
Like pretty much all fiction?
Some of it is really nice but ever since TBBT this >>27377678 is correct.

Capeshit is literally all trash
>>27377762
Capeshit movies are shit. Pre 52 stuff is still pretty good senpai. I don't really care about Marvel though.

this
I grew out of it when I was 14
because its a vague story you already kinda sorta know but it doesn't matter because there is going to be heavy CGI ass kicking and action at some point to hold you over in between boring talky time. And who doesn't like the idea of superpowers?
Somewhere around that is the reason why these movies are popular.
>>27377656
Gets to you young, I think. I'm okay with sequential art as a medium, obviously, but I don't know why anyone would be interested in the thousandth rehash of Batman other than he got to them early in life.
>>27377694
someone needs to post more gay superhero pics
it can't be me because I don't have any

What are you in the market for Anon?
capeshit has replaced regular action movies like die hard and terminator 2 and replaced those movies with gigantic cgi shitfests. normies like them because they have shit taste. marvels tie in cinememeic unimeme is also something kind of new for movies. it's a cheap tactic but it's effective, plebs love that type of cameo tie in garbage.
i still find it weird that a lot of normie Stacies are into this shit. obviously they're just following a trend, but it's really weird. I never expected 20 years ago that comic book movies would be this popular with women. I think mostly they just watch them because Thor and Captain America are hot and Tony stark is a rich playboy.

I think fantasy as a whole just became a really popular genre. Also, normies may be into it but they really don't know too much about any of the characters or the comic universes.
I bet those filthy casuals don't even know entrance level stuff like the names of 3 Robins.
>>27378123p.s. i'm not implying there are only 3 robins so don't come after me you basement dwellers
Yuropoor here.
Why are american comics terrible? Even stuff that's supposed to be fun like that commie superman comic is just... bad.
I'd rather read shoujo manga than that shit.
>>27378123
you can blame Lord of the Rings for popularizing fantasy
at least LoTR was entertaining though and the cgi in it was integrated extremely well into the movie. watching the behind the scenes technical stuff really made me appreciate how much thought was put into the effects.
now it's just a bunch of pewpew iron man explosions
>>27378208
I feel the complete opposite way. I really enjoyed Red Son and I find manga absolutely repulsive and boring.
Depends on the person I guess?
>>27378277
>>27378123
you have excellent tastes
saving all of these
>>27377656
It's escapism.
You know, for people who can't handle real life.
>>27378242
LoTR obviously had a better over arching plot and everything too. It was a masterpiece.
Marvel just kind of shits out comedy movies will little plot now a days. DC is way too fucking serious and boring. Doesn't feel like either are trying top hard.
>>27378307
thanks friend, have another panel i found qt
>>27378338
that would make sense if it was a bunch of geeks watching it. but that's not the case, it's very popular with normies.
>>27378338
>for people who can't handle real life
More like real life can't handle them
>>27378371
even "normies" nowadays are like children.
>>27378433
>not wanting to be a child
You don't miss your childhood at all?
If anything it's great that life is becoming easy enough for so many people the indulge in "childish" pursuits (though really, why does creativity and idealism have to be childish?)
Just wish the mentality didn't bleed into other aspects of peoples' lives so easily.
Has anyone else read The Authority?
v2 is my favourite comic by far. I really liked the Doctor's pathetic character and Apollo and Midnighter are qts. What a great idea it was to make an edgier Batman and Superman and then make them gay.
Where were you when DCEU got kill?
>>27378750
I was on /tv/ laughing my ass off. I'm so glad Zack the hack Snyder newest piece of shit is getting completely panned. that manchild needs to laughed out of Hollywood.
the icing on the cake will be seeing how horribly it performs. I hope it doesn't even break even.
I watched Batman vs Superman today. I'm not a fan of caped heroes but I enjoyed it. I enjoy watching the occasional cape movie.
I prefer eastern heroes most of the time.
