Telegraph: Comic Movies For Manchildren

One of the biggest newspapers in Europe, The Telegraph, has said that it is going ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’ and going to give comic book movies and their hegemony both barrels.

The article, found here, says enough is enough;

‘Can we all please grow up? Can we acknowledge that Marvel and DC have scraped right though the bottom of the barrel? Can we call time on superhero films? Films which are too dark for kids the comics were originally written for, yet too dumb for any thinking adult.’

I won’t paste the full article – The Telegraph – is known to come after people for that, however the author also goes on to say that not only are these movies for children, but they also suck in their own right.  And that his father told him to ditch comic book movies at age 14.  And start reading John Updike.  And to not stop until he started liking it.

His father sounds like a manly man.
