@boodger: You could MAYBE get away with calling 2 founding members of The Avengers B-Listers, but C-listers is stretching it. And extending that to Captain America is simply ridiculous. My point stands regardless. Characters who have never had widespread appeal don't make good subjects for hundred-million dollar films, and the proof is in the box office numbers.
@mogan: I've been saying for years that a well-made adaptation of Fury: My War Gone By would be Best Picture material, but good luck getting writers, directors, and actors good enough to make it happen. Not that a major studio would ever greenlight it anyway.
@id0ntkn0w7: The first Sam Raimi Spider-Man is still my favorite comic book movie. CGI-heavy action scenes with some quippy dialogue in lieu of a plot and character growth is fun for a while, but it's not indefinitely sustainable.
It's not really difficult to understand. Big names like Spider-Man and Captain America pull big crowds. Nobody cares about C-listers like Shang-Chi and no-names like Kamala Khan.
@faithxvoid: Probably because in less than 10 hours most of them had seen everything they needed to? If a game isn't good enough to keep you invested for the first 10 hours, it's not going to be good enough to keep you invested for the rest of it. Again, it's the developers' responsibility to keep the people playing the game interested, not the players' responsibility to keep slogging through tedium in the hopes that it MIGHT get better later on.
@faithxvoid: "Review bombing" is what the producers of subpar products go to any time they want to avoid taking responsibility for failing. Being able to voice displeasure at something and vote with your wallet is how the free market promotes competition and innovation. The lack of both in recent years shows that consumers aren't as discerning as they ought to be.
