THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
The long and the short of it...
COMIC invests in superhero movies, movies based on comic books and movies based on graphic novels
SCIFI invests in science fiction (aliens, space travel, high tech, etc...)
It does not have to be so difficult.
Most superhero movies cross over into SCIFI territory so HSX put a limit on SCIFI that it cannot trade super hero movies so the two funds would not have a large number of same investments (which would lead to same growth which would make two seperate funds meaningless)
Superman (alien); Iron Man (high tech); Captain America (high tech - "super soldier serum"); Thor (space travel); Avengers (aliens);
COMIC = Superman, Iron Man, Batman, Meteor Man, Hancock, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Kick-Ass; Sin City; Super....
SCIFI = Star Wars; Star Trek; Interstellar; Lucy; Earth To Echo; Gravity; The Maze Runner....
Guardians Of The Galaxy are:
a) from comic books
b) superheroes
They do not have superpowers, but according to Moviesnob's post
"A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of hero or saviour possessing extraordinary talents..."
Guardians Of The Galaxy fall into the grouping of superheroes without superpowers... Black Widow (Avenger); Hawkeye (Avenger); Green Arrow (Justice League); Robin (Teen Titans); Nightwing (Teen Titans); Kick-Ass; Hitgirl; Human Target; Oracle; The Question; Huntress; Moon Knight (Avenger); Punisher; Elecktra; Mockingbird (Avenger); Shang-Chi (Avenger); Two Gun Kid (Avenger); Judge Dredd; The Cape; Green Hornet; Silver Sable...
Sci Fi Fund Aug 03, 16:20
Fund Description "...To differentiate from COMIC, the fund will not invest in superhero films. " {nm} Aug 03, 16:24
There is no COMIC. And this was more SciFi than comic, anyway. {nm} Aug 03, 16:28
Comic can be anything. If it's based on a comic, then it's comic. {nm} Aug 03, 16:30
Okay. Why does SciFi hold Frank Miller's Ronin? Or Micronauts? {nm} Aug 03, 16:35
star wars was a comic. Star Trek has a comic. {nm} Aug 03, 16:42
alien, predator, terminator all have comics {nm} Aug 03, 16:43
None of those franchises you mentioned started out as comics so those aren't good bases for argument. {nm} Aug 03, 16:49
the comics heavily influenced other films in the franchise or were the major influence. {nm} Aug 03, 16:50
besides the argument here is "superhero films". there's a clear distinction between based on a comic or a superhero film Aug 03, 16:54
But the COMIC fund isn't just about superheroes. Aug 03, 17:15
This is a pointless argument of semantics. Guardians is based on a comic therefore it's COMIC. Aug 03, 18:11
ok. if its semantics, then i'm off {nm} Aug 03, 18:25
The question of why SciFi would hold Frank Miller's Ronin or Micronauts is still valid, though. Aug 03, 18:42
The long and the short of it... Aug 03, 19:07
semantics, and all due respect, but your argument "extraordinary talents" would define most movies {nm} Aug 03, 19:31
Sorry, I was on holiday and couldn't take part in this thread Aug 04, 04:07
The purpose of the criteria aren't to make the funds mutually exclusive, but to minimise the overlap {nm} Aug 04, 04:11
exactly, this was not a superhero film. Its a sci-fi space opera {nm} Aug 03, 16:41
At this moment it time - but the moment someone volunteers to run it - it comes back {nm} Aug 04, 04:08
Yeah, the lack of COMIC was what lead me to looking at SciFi as an option. {nm} Aug 03, 19:05
They are still two distinct funds The lack of a BRITS fund doesn't mean EURO could invest in British StarBonds. {nm} Aug 03, 19:47
+1 {nm} Aug 03, 19:55
You're complaining about 1 share. Maybe SCIFI investing in FMRON is an error. Doesn't mean all rules are off. {nm} Aug 03, 21:11
almost as dumb as you Aug 03, 20:12
