    Maybe the reason these movies are so bad is that they make money even when they are garbage. Batman vs Superman already made a half a billion in PROFIT.

    Maybe if the fans didn't spend their money to see every single hero movie no matter how bad the reviews are (and go as far as to attack the reviewers who are just doing their job) then maybe, just maybe, they'd improve a little. This common thing I hear from friends, "yeah, I heard it's awful but I still want to see it" is a big part of why they keep allowing shit directors to make these things.

    I see full grown adults asking why Zach Snyder gets to keep making movies. How fucking stupid are you? It's because the last one made a half a billion fucking dollars. You think studio executives and producers give ANY consideration to reviews? Lulz. They're making comic book movies. COMIC BOOK MOVIES. They couldn't care less about being true to the material. Why should they? They only care about money. As would I, if it was my investment on the line.

    The studios are ignoring you, all the way to the bank.

    • i'm not sure ALL comic book movies could be classed as money making bullshit movies. The Batman/Nolan franchise was pretty good really.Ianbolton
    • Not all, but almost all. My point is more like, why should they replace Snyder? He's doing great!!!nb
    • He's such a great guy too! The only recent superhero franchise I've found remotely interesting was the X-Men. Apocalypse was greatIanbolton
    • I would also argue that at the Hollywood level ALL movies are about making money.nb
    • but i would also argue that artistic integrity is still employed as some directors really do want to make a good film. Zach Snyder even has his moments.Ianbolton
    • It's interesting to see the difference between movies and TV right now. With a lot of TV it seems like they give more creative control to the writers/director.qoob
    • Whereas movies feel like they are written by committee, which leads to a shitty result.qoob
    • Loads of people have said Daredevil was amazing. I found all the characters fucking annoying and refused to watch it after episode 5.Ianbolton
    • But I guess there's more time to play with character development in TV, just don't fuck it up otherwise you're stuck with it for 12 epsiodesIanbolton
