Some of the best fantasy and sci-fi movies have come from comic and graphic novel origins. The original comic writers and illustrators knew how to write a story and frame a scene. It shows up in some of the amazing early translations to film. Brilliant storylines and twists, and amazing, atmospheric cinematography translated directly from the pages of the books.

Then they threw out the exquisite artistic talent available to them of the original storytellers and replaced it with what stroked their own egos and pandered to their inferior creativity.

For casual fans, hearing this from someone like DeMayo confirms everything they heard via "rumors & leaks" that escape from Hollywood thanks to
anonymous sources. The vast majority of those who made the Infinity Saga the most lucrative film franchise in history were casual fans like myself.

As a casual fan, I *enjoy* learning the lore from the films. Comic book lore has never been a problem. It's not complex or difficult to understand for
male fans and the ladies don't that interested in Marvel. I've never met a casual fan like myself who struggled to understand a Marvel show.

I'd argue that Marvel's recent projects were too light on lore, but I never bothered watching them, so I wouldn't know. I don't have much interest in the upcoming Doomsday films, and I'm one of those casual fans who watched several of the Infinity Saga films in theaters.

There's little buzz surrounding the Doomsday films, because they sound like more of the same film-by-committee bullshit that Marvel has been churning out for the past 8 YEARS. Marvel is just as damaged as Star Wars, but Disney hasn't figured that out yet.

If you are referring to the original /Hulk/, the original Spider-Man
trilogy, the original X-Men trilogy -- you are correct.

I have very very few recent Marvel movies on DVD or BD. I stream most
of them; they generally fall into two categories an "upper half" which
is at least minimally entertaining and a "lower half" which isn't even
that.

I don't read the comics, BTW, so I look at these solely as movies. As
a group, they are generally worth watching once, which is better than
those I regret watching but not anything I would ever want to watch
again.
