its because of topics like this that we continue to get mediocre movies.
the whole "you should be glad they make movies, so dont bash them at all" mentality is really sad. The fact is, there are few truly good comic movie/franchises. Most of them are bad.Thats why fanboys bash them. Its as simple as that.
Changes in comic films can be accepted if they actually make sense. Thats why people dont really complain about organic webshooters anymore, or leather x outfits, or the black bat suit. On some level, they make sense. But killing off the leader of the x-men in a movie to give your already overhyped cash cow even more screen time? Giving Elektra lame superpowers when she didnt even need them? Making Dr. Doom have superpowers when the whole concept of the character is about is iron will and the fact that he earned most of the things he had? They're unnecessary changes.
And fanboys, probably in part not to look like the whiny sterotype society has put on them, let studios get away with crap like this. They accept that tim story will never take the FF to heights they deserve, and they're content on some average movies which will probably showcase jessica alba more than most of the team. They wont complain when Mark Steven Johnson gets another comic flick and runs that into the ground, cause hey, if they say anything, they'll be called whiny fanboys.
it's sad that if you're not superman, batman, spider man, or the x-men, chances are your comic movie will suck....but thats what happens when fanboys let hollywood run wild on lesser known characters
