If audiences want yet another comic book movie with yet another redemptive arc (writers: other stories are available!) then good luck to them. I was a huge Marvel nut as a kid but I've got fatigue even for the MCU by now. Never having been a Superman/girl fan, I've got nothing to say about this new one except that I hope it's what those fans have been waiting for.
Kara's ongoing sadness and the way her grief gets in the way of her relationships is a major theme in the CW show, which gives both Helen Slater and Dean Cain roles as her parents. It's not a great show, but at least we never have to see that headband.
Right now I'm enjoying Walt Hickey's YOU ARE WHAT YOU WATCH, which uses data to update Lippmann.
“I don’t write about things I don’t like” 💕 This is a gift to your audience and the world. I know positivity is a hard sell in a world where negativity gets the most attention, but it’s very much needed.
I was so excited when we got the first Iron Man movie, not even being a big fan of Iron Man and now all these years later I feel like there are more comic haters than there everwhere before.
Because yeah I'm sure most people with dumb takes on superheroes know little more than pop culture. It's exhausting being in the middle of two clueless extremes but more than that the impact it's had on comics has resulted in such a watering down of the medium.
I still pick up new issues from time to time, especially when I hear rave reviews...but they just aren't interesting. So caught up in the post modern mindset and so devoid of meaning they battle over readership exactly as the two groups you identified. As if those people even read.
I agree that far too many modern comics are trapped in post-modernism and about Iron Man. I watched one of Favreau's Dinner for Five episodes and he talked about how important Vince Vaughn was in the editing process. It was a really interesting conversation.
I'll have to give it a watch. I had gotten used to comics become editor mouth pieces as far back as Spiderman One More Day if not even before that so I haven't really thought about why Tony Stark was suddenly pushed from meh to the front.
My memory of time is so bad, I wonder if this was around when they did the whole death of wolverine arc.
It always seemed strange business to me, to sabotage your best selling.

Watched this movie today. Great film and fun too :)
Looking forward to seeing this version of Kara. Should be a great angsty yang to Kal's blue boy-scout yin.
