Which is the best active scifi blockbuster franchise?

[StarkTheProdigy]

Well I hope Pixar picks up their game with Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur. Their past couple films were meh

Marvel and Pixar are very comparable in the sense that they both consistently produce films that audiences and critics both enjoy, done in their own particular style.

 

[Lord]

I think PIXAR is much more comparable to Classic Disney, started with a decade or so of classic after classic, then slowly started to fade away, though i hope PIXAR picks up again soon.

Regarding your sig, is that for the biggest franchise domestically or worldwide.

Worldwide, my friend. I'm thinking that record will be broken by this time next year, which is why I made my signature as a sort of countdown.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

and to think, Marvel is just getting warmed up.

 

[Flint Marko]

Exactly. The fact that they've been releasing films since 2008, a mere six years, and already they've become a cinematic juggernaut is astounding.

There is no comparison between Marvel and Pixar. Marvel has not made a film in the same league as Ratatouille, Up, et cetera, and as far as I know Pixar has not made a film as awful as Thor 2.

Someone's never watched the Cars movies.

I agree that Mavel hasn't quite reached the critical highs of Pixar, but they do have a sense of consistency that is almost similar to Pixar, just not as high quality (or as high risk) from a filmmaking perspective.

James Bond and Marvel are both soft science fiction.

In the world is not enough they made up a medical condition for the villain.

In Die Another Day there is some Icarus satellite that drives the plot, also, invisible cars show up.

Fact is James Bond would look completely different without made up science and technology, same with Marvel.

2, 3 Bond movies with Sci-Fi elements does not make a series a Sci-Fi series, especially considering that Die another Day was 12 years ago before a grounded reboot that took away most of the outworldly elements.

James Bond also made a movie with blaxploitation elements. It doesn't make it a blaxploitation series.

Wouldn't you consider Marvels entire game-plan from Iron Man to the Avengers as pretty risky?
Nothing like it had ever been tried before; not to mention that the movie they opened with right out of the gate featured a former drug addict playing a B-list superhero.
I admittedly don't know the risks involved in any of the Pixar films, but I think you're somewhat downplaying what Marvel did.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Actually Universal did it in the 50s with monsters, but I digress. I wasn't saying it wasn't high risk from a business point of view, nor was I talking about the MCU. I was talking about the movies, individually narratively.

Pixar during the 00s was much more experimental in their movies. I would say rat who's a master chef, an old man going on an adventure on a floating house supported by balloons, a robot being the last thing on earth while humanity withers away under its own literal weight off earth are much riskier propositions due it's more unconventional stories than A man with an armored suit, a Norse alien God, a green angry giant, and a 90 year old Super Soldier with stories all told in more conventional styles.

Then again Pixar has the benefit of animation while Marvel has to do it live action.

 

[Flint Marko]

Understood, we're on the same page .

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Definitely.

Hahahaha. Someone voted for Spider-Man?

Maybe it was accidental.

I don't make polls often on this site, maybe I should have made it a public poll, lol.

 

[Thundarr]

What the **** is Sci-Fi about James Bond

Just a guess, but I'd say the gadgets he gets from Q.

 

[CGHulk]

Star Wars!
