zaso Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 i know it's been only 2 years but by this time last decade we had the most anticipated team-up film of the history with multiple superhero franchises already launched (thor and cap), the hunger games, two nolan hits, acclaimed bo smashes like black swan. the decade before we had hp and lotr so far this decade we haven't had a new popular franchise, mcu is declining, horror genre is dead even Korean cinema which was peaking in the 2010s is giving us subpar rehashes, what happened?

Beyonnaise Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Things will get better once the Marvel craze dies down (feels like it already is) and if studios are more willing to take on different kinds of films, with streaming there is promise.

TaylorNation Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 so far yes (the only masterpiece this decade has been Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar) I used to be a proper MCU STAN, but everything after the Black Widow and Wandavision has been awful and I can’t stand them anymore. also I grew up. not to sound like a boomer but everything is superhero/franchise content and i’m so tired. in what is probably a very ironic twist, I can definitely see how all those hollywood artistes and filmbros were right lol. I feel like the fatigue is staring to set it, and that plus the streaming war messes should make for a very interesting decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salwa Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 If the new hunger games does well we may have new genre to switch things up from the superhero overdose happening. The success of Top Gun is a good indicator, hopefully it goes up from here. We need something new and fresh. Not the same movies formula with different cast. I get your point regarding new franchises launches at the start of the decade, but we have to consider how the pandemic affected and is still affecting the film industry today.

bad guy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Maybe but this year has been great. The Invisible Man, Freaky, The Hunt, Promising Young Woman, Spencer, A Quiet Place II, Scream, Batman, Top Gun, Nope, X, and Everything Everywhere All At Once are all great movies this decade so far.

GraceRandolph Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Covid ****** a lot up. The only major franchise launch I can think of is Dune, and we are getting a Nolan movie next year. Its been pretty weak overall though aside from Everything Everywhere All At Once. The Marvel and DC movies are also not doing as well as they did last decade.

Mr.Link Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Yes, but the **** show started earlier when the cinema started revolving around comic book ****. Kinda makes the Twlight era feel like a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with growing up. Marvel films used to be legitimately good, no matter what your age was. Iron Man, Captain America, The Winter Soldier, The Avengers, Cival War, Thor were all fantastic and still hold up after all these years. The franchise took a bit of a turn around the mid-late 2010's. I think they saw how "meme-able" all of those corny jokes were (I'm Mary Poppins y'all, why is Gamora, etc) and just ran with them. It wasn't so bad back then, the franchise still had some really good stuff in the late 10's like Infinity War, Endgame, and Black Panther, but now it's just corny jokes with a boring storyline and characters that are more annoying than likeable.
