James Gunn's DC Studios' Phase I: Gods and Monsters is officially in motion in theaters with the release of Superman, and the writer, director, and producer has scored big at the box office.
That’s fair. I am just sharing my perspective. Keep in mind this was in 2008, when it just got released in cinemas and that was my initial gut-feeling reaction. Not sure who the other fellows are, but in my mind the Stark character was clearly an American oligarch.
As I mentioned in my OP, for me positioning Minecraft’s popularity as being bad for the movie industry, while at the same time presenting Superman as a contribution to cinema seems a bit inconsistent.
Stane was the main villain of IM1. Hammer was one of the villains of IM2. Stark was an oligarch, but that’s part of his character arc. He wasn’t a good person in the beginning. That’s the point.
As far as Minecraft and other popcorn flicks being bad for the industry, those types of movies have always existed.
