    Superhero films

    I’m a massive fan of suspending my disbelief in a fantastic fantasy world, still have no interest in superhero films.

    They’re so incredibly predictable, I can get the same from the trailer as watching the film.

      I want a marvel movie where the entire movie is just an insurance adjuster’s life in superhero NYC where the entire city gets destroyed every 1.5 years due to alien sea turtles and two men punching each other through buildings and such.

      The insurance premiums would be insane. The insurance agencies would have to be massive and get constantly bailed out. People would deliberately try and live in the ugliest places they could to avoid the carnage (and later lawsuits).

        Maybe the superheroes should be required to get public liability insurance to cover the impact of their adventures.

        Or

        Maybe this accounts for their popularity, the greatest fantasy is a world not defined by capitalist considerations!
