A caveat here: I never read superhero comic books growing up, so maybe that has a lot to do with it.

Anyone else here find that they just cannot get into all these comic book superhero movies they keep pumping out?

My wife and I decided to start watching the first Avengers movie, and it really does nothing for me. They seem to spend more time fighting each other than fighting bad guys and it’s annoying.

I know these movies are hugely popular, but I find most of them silly and just not worth it.

I did like the original Batman movie back in 1989, and we both enjoyed the two Ant Man movies but they didn’t seem to take themselves too seriously like most of these movies do which is why I think I actually liked them.

Please tell me I’m not the only one?

To me, the only Batman is Adam West.

I can't get into any of this superhero stuff either either.

I go see most of them but have always been disappointed by their portrayal of my favorite childhood characters.

The Avengers movies are kind of a bad place to start. I would watch a few of the stand alone Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies first, so that they can introduce the individual characters to you before they appear in an ensemble movie like the Avengers.

Personally, I would watch them in production order starting with Iron Man. If you followed the production order, the Avengers wouldn't be up until the 4th or 5th movie depending if you skipped the 2008 Hulk.

If you like the light heartedness of Ant Man, you could skip ahead to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

If you like something dark and gritty, you can try out the Christian Bale Batmans starting with Batman Begins.

I've been a father since 1995. My youngest is currently 11 years old right now so I've been watching all the Marvel stuff since Iron Man as it's mostly fun family entertainment for me. It's something I can watch with my kid. Really, it't this generation's version of the old kung fu, ninja, and musclebound action movies of the 80's. Ninjas, Chuck Norris, Van Damme, Arnold and Sly are out and have been replaced by the superhero CGI genre.

When I'm by myself, then it's time for the gory guy movies.

If you want to understand the Marvel movies, I suggest watching them in timeline order (not release date) starting with Captain America and ending with Endgame. I just did this with the wife and it took us months to do this.

Marvel's phase 1, 2, and 3 were a mixed bag with some great movies and some graoners from time to time. For the most part, it was enjoyable, but they did it to capture the long time comic book audience and create a following that would be hard pressed to walk away when they went woke. Now that they have an established following, they're slipping in the woke stuff knowing we'll at least watch it in hopes that we see more of the early style of films.

I thoroughly enjoyed the legacy character movies all the way through endgame. Give Guardians of the Galaxy a watch. That movie is hilariously funny and enjoyable. It surprised me a lot. Captain America was also a very enjoyable movie in the series.

I have no good expectations for anything new coming out of Marvel.

As for DC, I have a hard time getting into those movies. They're darker than Marvel and can be a little depressing. I enjoyed the first two Christian Bale Batman movies, but the rest of the BM movies suck. The newest BM with the twilight dude is supposed to be the suckiest of them all. I highly doubt the movie will even break even.

Movies fall in and out of favor. For a while, we had a zombie craze and it has died out for the most part. People will eventually grow tired of superhero movies and something else will take it's place.

Tony.

Eh, mostly mindless diversions. Usually only watch any of them in streaming form, but I don't go out of my way in doing so. Funny...I DID read comic books as a kid, and most of it was Marvel. But at an early age I discovered other diversional publications. And yeah some of them were of THAT genre......guns.

I will watch a couple of the Batman flicks but the rest dont interest me at all.

They are today what westerns once were…

I find them enjoyable for the most part.

The culmination of ENDGAME has kind of left me feeling like I'm starting a new book and not as excited as before but still looking forward to new installments.

I don't wait outside in line for tickets, but I'll enjoy them when they come out.

I can’t get into them. I don’t really know why but I tried to watch a few. I liked the old Superman movies but all the new stuff annoys me and I really don’t know why.

I'm with you, I never got into comic books and I cannot get into any of these super here movies. Of course, I cannot get into the whole Star Wars or Star Trek thing either.

The whole Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU, its a thing) is beyond me. I like big stupid action movies (The Expendables, RED, Die Hard, Boondock Saints, etc) and some of the super hero stuff but the MCU thing is over the top.

Yup, same way, can’t get into them. The non-stop action gets tiresome.

The only one I enjoyed was the Punisher. No special powers, just dark and gritty violence.

Hollywood can’t write a script or stage a scene anymore that’s why you get so much of this comic book cgi garbage.

Deadpool. I find it comical. That is it as comic's and movies go. Never read comic's as a kid. John.

Marvel makes good, fun movies. There are a few stinkers in there (Black Panther and the Hulk stand-alones) but for the most part they're good entertainment. However, I've only seen one DC movie that wasn't completely horrible (Joker). The rest are trash, Batman included. I've given up on giving them another chance.

Watched a few, but dumped them when they became silly, and the "wokeness" of them left a bad taste.

It's generational. Some are so moronic that it's hard to believe anyone over 14 actually watches them.

If you liked the Antman movies, you'll like the Thor movies as well. Thor movies don't take themselves too seriously and there are a lot of good jokes in the series.
