Are the number of comic book movies being released decreasing demand to see them?

It's interesting how your answer to the title was with a "no". Most of the time when people put a question as a title, they answer it with a "yes".

Well, the numbers don't give us a defintiive answer. The answer could still be yes but there is not a definitive correlation.

Wow, I don't know if that response could have been nerdier.

Well I think for sure The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Iron Man 3 and possibly Man of Steel will give a shot in the arm (if one is even needed). I think Marvel and DC are better off sticking to the big guns.

honestly, the studios need to quit with backround and secondary characters. i mean does SHIELD, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury do any of them really need a movie? what about them can't be explained in a 2 minute portion of any other Marvel movie with a somewhat established character

same can be said for Dr Strange, Ant Man, Black Panther and numerous others that aren't coming to me at the moment. .

it isn't the amount of renderings that is causing the common person to lose interest, it is the characters that are chosen.

look at DC. sure Green Lantern seems like a good idea, but truthfully Green Lantern is not a featured character that everyone knows, and because of that it is possible that it doesn't make a lot of money.

all these studios have top tier characters at their disposal, or at least characters everyone has heard of. why bring out Green Lantern(a B list character) when you have the Flash, Wonder Woman, or even Green Arrow that are more well known and more deserving of movies?

Marvel and DC need to stick to the big names and lay off on the lesser knowns.

for the lesser known characters the best route to take would be the animated Direct to DVD route. it works in 2 ways.

1st you get the character a movie that introduces said character to a wider range of people and by sales and reception you can decide whether a live action adaptation is a good or bad thing.

2nd, you don't flood the market(theaters) with your product making everyone lose interest in other more deserving characters that do get theatrical showings.

The only way I can see more comic book movies breaking out in a successful way is if they STOP treating them as a certain genre that has a list of requirements to fit the bill.
Just focus and writing a good script (which means developed characters and drama, not just BOOM BANG LOL), casting well and treating the story (and source material) with respect.

It's like they whip out the same 2 or 3 blueprints for every film and it's making everything stale.
A film doesn't always need the same path of
1 Guy is normal
2 Guy becomes superhero
3 Villain shows up with evil plot
4 Love interest
5 Big final battle
6 Victory, happy ending.

There's so much to draw from in comic book history that I really don't know how they can't shake the trends.

The most annoying thing for me is all the attention on "making it more relatable" because the stories were written with enough of it, and also "not taking itself too seriously" which usually leads to cheap, shitty jokes that take you out of the moment.
If the character in the story is that type of person then fine, but it tends to always be the same overused crap.

Its all because of the economy and inflation.

thing is how many of the cinema going public even know there going to see a comic book movie & not just a fantasy movie.

also i think the problem is having other movie studio's owning the rights.

if marvel had all its characters under one roof,they all wouldn't get movie treatment.they couldn't afford to churn out movie after movie.

@ thegoddamnsuperguy

the fantastic four is as important to marvel as action comics is to dc,its the one that started it all.

i agree spin off movies are not needed,but build up movies are a great idea.

team movies that need movie treatment.

1.x-men
2.the avengers
3.fantastic four

single character movies needed

1.spider-man
2.silver surfer
3.hulk
4.daredevil
5.nova
6.thor
7.iron man
8.captain america

but some these will not see the light of day if everything was at one studio.

same goes for dc stop wasting money on crap like jonah hex,catwoman,red & losers movies of these are not needed.

just focus on the intresting ones i.e batman,superman,flash,green lantern,wonder woman,aquaman & then maybe justice league.

I think the biggest problem with comic book movies is that they follow a formula that (including me) are tired of. I know origins are important, but really how important is it? 007 flicks arent about james bond, its stories that involve james bond.
yea i know these characters are different because they fly and shoot crap out of their hands or whatever, but the Incredible Hulk did the best job to me by keeping the origin contained mainly in the opening credits. kinda like a comic, any newbie can pick up a spider-man comic and get a quick synopsis of how he got to where he did and go from there. dark knight was a great story envolving batman, not a story about batman..i think i might just be babbling,i hope someone gets what im saying.
