Agreed. Most superhero movies take themselves too seriously. And, the characters never have a good time or enjoy themselves.

Posted by: magicdreamer on Feb 13, 13:31 in response to Moviesnob's post I think the right question to ask DC/Warner is not about...

It's only filled with tension and action with a little, very little, plot throw in.  They have started to look the same.

Deadpool marketing was brillant showing the character not taking himself seriously and having fun being well, himself.  Audiences responded with two big thumbs up.

I think the right question to ask DC/Warner is not about making more R rated superheros movies, but making more fun ones Moviesnob Feb 13, 13:13

Which begs the follow up: After celebrating "dark" superhero movies (Batman), are audiences changing their preference to "fun" ones? Chest Rockwell Feb 13, 13:19

I think the success of Marvel/Disney has something to do with their tone, especially in contrast to Nolan's Batman movies and Man of Steel Moviesnob Feb 13, 13:44

I think they like both. IronMan wasn't dark. {nm} Dorfman Feb 13, 16:46

agreed. Guardians was a blast, Deadpool as well. SSquad looks like fun and I think they took a cue from Guardians when developing. {nm} lobogotti Feb 13, 14:24

Humor and character is what makes Deadpool popular, not the dark elements drakkar Feb 13, 16:08

Very well said Drakkar. RREYN is great with humor like that. Van Wilder, Waiting, Deadpool {nm} Dorfman Feb 13, 16:45

Love fun movies and movies where it seems the actors are having fun making them {nm} Dorfman Feb 13, 16:44

Guess how you make ryan Reynolds the star of a successful movie is disfigure his face and cover it up {nm} djgrimlok Feb 13, 17:16

Was that a shot? LOL {nm} RREYN Feb 14, 01:55

For the most art the source material is incomparable. For decades Superman and Batman ruled the roost. tradermark Feb 13, 23:32
