Gaps in quality? The three sequels I mentioned earlier were positively recieved. Marvel is the one churning out tired sequels that people eat up. People on this forum complained about Iron Man, Thor or Avenger sequels all the while lining up for the next one.
So basically the cure to franchise fatigue is Marvel. They can make endless superhero rehash films but god forbid a rare movie featuring pirates and mummies exist. The American public would never watch something so unoriginal!
Which sequels are you referring to? Spider-man films? Cause those got trashed and still get trashed regularly, including on this very forum. And they made less money, too. If you mean some other sequels, then that's okay, but I admit I'm not 100% certain as to which sequels you're talking about atm.
I'm not sure why you're trying to make an argument about Marvel's sequels being tired, since they keep being commended for trying different things within their cinematic universe. Most people have been praising Guardians 2 for the tight character work and trippy sci-fi nature, Civil War for the conflict between the two stars of the MCU, Winter Soldier for being a thriller-lite film, everyone's looking forward to the fresh tone of Thor Ragnarok... Thor The Dark World was seen as generic and as a result made less money than the other post-Avengers outings for the main MCU heroes. Marvel making a bunch of superhero films doesn't automatically mean that they're "tired," despite what you're trying to claim.
And again, you're being reductionist. Pirates was sold as another Johnny Depp wacky film affair, and Mummy was sold as another Tom Cruise action film (goofy sound effects plane trailer, anyone?), both of which we've been flooded with for the past two decades. So yes, American audiences are sick of them, and they didn't show up in theaters, Dark Universes be damned.
This was the original post:
You dont find that silly?
I mean, if it makes you guys feel better. America has great taste and likes original films. Rest of the world sucks.
I didn't say America has great taste - I said that Americans want something different than what they've been getting, but Hollywood will keep these franchises going since they make money in their new overseas markets. You assumed I was trying to say that Americans have superior taste, when I didn't say anything of the kind.
