Just Another Nostalgic, Family-Friendly Super Hero Movie...

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2016)

Let's get rid of the dandy, family-friendly superhero who flits across the screen already. My biggest problem with super hero movies today is that they are too family-friendly and largely unoriginal.
Given that you are a superhero, you are most likely fighting the most evil men on the planet, and fighting the most evil men on the planet on a daily basis has got to take a toll on your psychology and you world outlook. It makes me cringe every time I see a superhero movie where you have got a guy who is just dancing around happily on screen without a care in the world. Yes I understand, "but Deadpool isn't really a superhero he's just a terrible person who gets paid stop even worse people." Oh you are so right. Simply making the winking suggestion at how bad ass and full of yourself you are makes you a terrible person. I mean seriously, there has to be more to being a hero or a villain than simply thinking about how bad ass you are, because its old news and I don't find it even remotely clever or daring for this glamor boy to break the fourth wall.
Deadpools humor is not original. Simply winking at the fact that there are cameras that are supposed to play "the invisible narrator" is a concept that has been overdone in Comedy and Advertising today, and people love it for whatever reason like its never been done before.
If you would like an example of non-family-friendly superheroes, go Check out Blade. Go check out the Watchmen. Go see the Dark Knight. All the superheroes here are largely affected by what they have seen on a daily basis. They have real questions about humanity and real questions about saving the planet. They are not simply some attractive looking superhero who wears spandex and dances across the screen.
