Is it weird I find myself growing nostalgic for the “bad” superhero movies of the early 2000s and reappraising them much more positively lately?
Capeshit is embarassing.
>>221414154those movies came out before the marvel formula, so you'd have actual movies being made by actual directors with actual styles. like the first couple raimi spider-man movies have some quintessential raimi shit in them like the green goblin jumpscare in 1 or ock's arms killing the doctors in 2. once iron man came out and did way better than captain america, hulk and thor, that was the formula they settled on and never looked back
bad movies used to be betterI have rewatched all of those more than twice
>>221414154Yes. They're still bad. Don't become a prequeltard and pretend that shitty movies are good just because things have gotten relatively worse.
>>221414154Ang Lee's Hulk and Raimi Spider-Man are good. Daredevil is enjoyable if not that great.
>>221414680You're more embarassing.
>>221414743Come on now, the only actual directors there are Raimi and Lee. F4, Daredevil, Ghost Rider were all aping the Raimi formula, while the X-Men were aping the Tim Burton formula from Batman '89.
>>221415113This. Don't move your goalposts just because movies are getting more shittified. Just like in 10 years you shouldn't look back and pretend to be nostalgic for the "comfy" 2020s. If you go down this road where everything is relative to the current state of shittiness then all slop is 5 stars.
