Agree or Disagree - Action Movies/Superhero Movies are basically fascistic.

12. There's a great podcast that I listen too...

Comic Geeks.

These guys hold back nothing in their fawning over these movies and even they say that it won't last much longer.

Their biggest argument is that there are no new "top level" hero's (in the classic sense) to exploit.

I think they might be onto something. It's the saturation of the market issue that will take it's toll.

Personally, while I love me some super hero movies, I would prefer to see some of the lesser known, non-super hero type comics being turned into movies.

There are great story lines and fantastic concepts.

One that comes to mind right off the bat would be "100 Bullets" or "Chew"

And if they are going to continue on the super hero tact, perhaps they should try something a little different with "Irredeemable". It's about a once good superman type guy that gets pissed off and turns evil. The basic concept is, "what if superman went bad?" chilling thought.

expansion into other types of hero's would be a gold mind.

300 hundred was okay, not great, in my opinion, because it only plays to a very specific audience. But it was interesting that it was made and shows that there is much more diversity out there. Sin City, falls into that as well. But they were written by the same guy.

There needs to be new talent that challenge the accepted norm.
