I’m officially a half-century old, which still feels weird to type. I grew up reading comic books when the idea of full-blown Marvel and DC movie franchises wasn’t even on my radar. It was always one of those “man, it’d be cool if…” thoughts. I never really believed we’d get here. That’s probably why, when I look at the last 20 years, I feel a deeper appreciation for what we’ve actually been given. I know online chatter makes it sound like everything is either trash or a masterpiece, and I also know the internet is a terrible litmus test for reality. Still, the sheer quality and consistency of comic book movies and streaming compared to what came before is kind of wild. I get why people are critical. Movies are expensive now, especially if you’re taking a family. But speaking only for myself, I’m grateful for any and every comic book movie that’s been put in front of me. Even the ones that miss. Especially the ones that try. With Marvel in particular, yeah, there have been some real stinkers. Thor: The Dark World and Marvel's Secret Invasiondidn’t exactly set my soul on fire. But there’s also been solid work…
