Too Many Comic Book Movies? Your Mother...

"There're too many comic book movies!"

Or worse yet: "There's too many comic book movies!" (Seriously, you think it's ok to say there IS too many comic book movies? Cause that's what THERE'S means.)

Anyway, in all seriousness, if you've ever said either of the above lines, go fuck yourself - hard, and unpleasantly, with no lovingness or care for your own safety or pleasure.

Having lived through Howard the Duck (Marvel comic) and Superman 3 AND 4, I can say that we are in the Golden Age of comic book movies. Does it look too unrealistic when Green Lantern is in space with 100s of other Lanterns from all over the universe? FUCK YOU. Not believable when the X-Men history incorporates the Cuban Missile Crisis? EAT ME.

I know it's hip these days to bash everything to pieces and hate everything else. I did that most of my adolescent career. Now I am just pumped to go see guys in costume thrash other bad guys in costume. I don't love them all, but I like comic book movies, so I'll keep supporting them.

Captain America? Excellent. X-Men: First Class? Shades of brilliance. Green Lantern? Meh, fine - not the abortion everyone proclaimed it was by any means.

So either get on board or admit you don't like comic movies. Either way, shut your trap and strap in for Avengers by Joss Whedon...gonna be spectacular.
