^ demographics are largely dependent on the showtime you attend. I went to the 11pm showtime on Friday and it was all people my age, give or take 3-5 years, zero kids were in attendance.
To me younger demographics are to blame for the fact how safe those movies feel, i still remember in MoS the ''crack'' hahaahha little kids looking in awe and mothers closing thier eyes.
Say what you wants but, its almost a year since MoS and people still are discussing about the movie. The likes of Thor 2 and IM3 are pretty much forgotten

I love a good "Troll Feeding" session. Let me! Let me!! (Without resorting to name-calling now, let's be adults) OK, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, in MY opinion, far superior to the ONE underwhelming movie made by Zack "I guess this is directing" Snyder. I have high hopes for BvS simply because DC can't be dumb enough to continue to allow Marvel to steamroll over them. I actually want DC to compete, it'll make Marvel up their game, not that they need to with the success of Winter Soldier. Their problem starts with directing and casting. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman? REALLY? An iconic character, the first true female comic book hero needs to have gravitas to make it in the boys' club that is the Justice League. That was just one example of their futility. Again, just my opinion, opinions need no proof. I am, however all about stating my argument in a mature manner.
P.E.A.C.E.

Wouldn't say that. Younger kids would still drag their folks to superhero movies which generates revenue. Blame said folks for coddling if anything else.
That's because Thor 2 wasn't anything special and people are actively trying to forget IM3 IIRC.
As for this JL project. Was really hoping for DC to just suck it up and follow Marvel's formula. I mean they have right to virtually everything in the DC-verse so no need to fight FOX or Sony for characters when they have a full toy box.
No? Then what movie was Roth in? (please log in to view the image)
He had an entire tv show. 10 seasons. (please log in to view the image)
Two actually. 4 Seasons. (please log in to view the image)
JL/JL Unlimited: (please log in to view the image)
Superman The Animated Series. 4 seasons. (please log in to view the image)
Superman is in constant exposure throughout the 90s-00s. And Cap, with far less exposure, a B-lister like you said, will match your so called "father" of superheroes.
First you say these two father of superheroes will blow the Avengers, B-listers, out of the water. Then you admit that we shouldn't make a comparison between MOS and Cap 2 because Superman hasn't even been in a movie since the 70s. Yet, Man of Steel is the second Superman movie in the last 7 years, not 30. If he's as iconic and a bigger blockbuster character, how come those numbers aren't that much better than B-Listers like IM/Thor/Cap? At this point, Marvel's characters are as much of a box office draw as DC's characters.
So do you have numbers for MOS and IM3/Thor2 regarding demographics or is this just your observation when you went to the theater? MOS had a PG13 rating like IM3/Thor 2.
IM3 - Maya was shot dead. Mandarin was shot dead. Happy was blown up and laid near dead, while those around him actually died.
Thor 2 - Thor's hand gets cut off at one point. Loki gets stabbed and presumed dead until the final reveal. Malekith had half his face burned and was later stabbed/dismembered limb from limb.
That neck snapping is no more gruesome than any of these scenes.
Who is discussing Man of Steeling? You mean discussing it's mediocrity and how WB rushing to build a universe on its faulty foundation?

Superman, Batman and Spider-Man have always been and still are the biggest superhero names. They therefore have the biggest box office "potential."
However fact is it's not just names that makes box office, it's quality. And it's Marvel studios who are giving us the best quality right now and that's why they're the ones with the biggest box office franchises, made up of names who previously were "B-Listers" but are now almost as well known as Supes, Bats and Spidey. It's really impressive how they've done that.
AHHAHAAH the marvel cult brigade sure is in defense mode, i dont even want to think what would happen if Superman/Batman stomp Avengers 2 in the box office.
And no IM3 and Thor 2 are mostly comedies, you cant sell it as serious movies, it clear that are movies for children
DC movies could use a little more comedy. It sucks that Marvel movies don't appeal to your gothic, emo nihilistic teen on drugs thing going on. Well, sucks for you at least.
Because stupid jokes and one liners every two minutes makes a good movie right?
Funny you calling me a emo. My favorites superhero movies are the original Spiderman duology, you know, cool fights, memorable villians, well placed humor, dramatic scenes.
Just watch the Guardians of Galaxy trailer, they arent even trying to hide the fact that movie is gonna be another comedy.
Except the Avengers isn't just Thor and Iron Man. Captain America 2 broke that piss poor comedy streak and Avengers was well balanced in comedy and seriousness. Avengers 2 is directed by the same director. Kids still showed up to see Man of Steel, that's why the rating is PG13.
That's why GOTG is beloved by fans. This team was a comedic team in the books. It's staying true to the books. But it seems like you haven't read their comics and so you spout more nonsense.
Ehhh, I read the GotG comics and they were a cool space adventure book about a team who has a talking raccon in their ranks with funny moments, but a full comedy never crossed my mind reading those books
