  1. Can you support that it isn't dying, though? As Dupont has demonstrated - the amount of sequels is taking over "Hollywood". Nothing wrong with optimism, but we have to be realistic in our assessments. Even in comic book cinematic universes - I wanna see The Flash and/or Green Lantern Corps before I see an Aquaman sequel. I think that an argument can be made that TV is still dominated by original shows.
  2. I don't understand where you're going with this. Original ideas on film are rare in the 21st century. It's why comic book movies are so popular. Turning static images into dynamic entertainment. There isn't much indication that originality is circling back around soon - hence the propagation of even more comic book properties to TV and streaming services. I, personally, am getting fatigued with the amount of comic book material - mostly because it's turning into drek money-grabs IMO. I would gladly welcome a massive wave of originality in "cinema".
  3. "Movies" that use physical appearance as a primary objective are usually only for audiences 18+ (21+ in some regions) years old, though...
  4. It's felt like that for a long time. When was the last time I saw a non-comic book, non-Star Wars, movie in theaters? Godzilla in 2014? When's the last time I saw a completely original story in theaters? I have no freaking clue. Can't remember if I saw Inception in theaters. Wish I saw Interstellar in theaters. There probably are a few good ones out there from the last decade, but they're definitely few and far between. The 80's and 90's were the Golden Age of original movie ideas IMO.
  5. What? We're stuck in this loop already. Almost everything that isn't a comic/sci-fi film is a remake or off-shoot.
  6. It's exactly the same. You historically cherry-pick whatever data supports your argument, though. So that's no surprise.
  7. Yeah, and The Avengers needed the Chituari Scepter to close the portal. Doesn't make them "powered" by it.
  8. Doctor Strange is not "powered" by the Time Stone. Quicksilver was in 1 movie. I guess I'll give you Vision - despite the fact that he basically was the Mind Stone. Not a character that existed and then received power from it. A grand total of 3 heroes.
  9. No idea. Let us know what the owner/seller tells you.
