No title could say it best. You are fixing to see Comic book movies do the exact turn comics did. Crash. 80% of movie goers that watch these movies have never read a comic. They watch it for the entertainment. This movie was everything I hate about comics brought to life. Silly, boring, waaaay out there and an attempt to save stupid mistakes made by writers before. To me they destroyed every XMEN movie to date with this.

You're right, I'm not a comic time kid, so I've never read any comics from the Avengers or Xmen or Iron Man or anything, I didn't know the Avengers until the movie to be honest...
I only see this movies for the action on them, entertainment as you say, and I think that's pretty sad because I believe the majority of people are just like me.

Oh, I can't wait for comic movies to be gone! And it is only a matter of time considering how many they are putting out. Marvel seems to have taken the strategy of "getting while the getting is good". Screw holding some things back and keeping audiences wanting more. Put out 4 or more Marvel movies a year , with year-after-year sequels until people don't want them anymore.

I don't know a ton about superheroes, but it seems like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with new franchises. Maybe I will be wrong (again, I don't know much about comics), but I don't see Guardians of the Galaxy having any legs. I had to look it up online to even know who they were, and the series started in 2008! I think a lot of the appeal of Marvel movies is people seeing the comic characters they knew as kids come to life with $100M+ special effect budgets. A series that started in 2008 is not going to tap into that.

Big truth, I didn't know who they were either.

The comic books I have are from the 80's and early 90's. So if they are going to ruin things, why don't they make the Infinity Gauntlet series? lol

or Elf Quest!
