Well I don't care so much about the hero as much as the villain. My pet peeve is when the villain decides to preach about "why" he is evil. Of course what pisses me off even more is when he preaches about his "lack" of why lol. |

Anyone have any Superhero Movie Pet Peeves? |

Well my main pet peeve is that the final fight is usually very short. I'd like a 20 minute battle or something. It's usually like 10 (if that). |

wo things make a superhero movie for me: vilains and... well, that's villains too... Plot, I guess. The Villain has to have a good scheme for the hero to go after them, then the 20-minute fight scene after the hero finds out the whos, wheres, possibly the hows. The whys are typically unnecessary, and the whens are always withing 5 minutes of the heroe's arrival. An it has to be a good villain. Venom is cool. Ras al Ghul is cool (I like how they made him the new Batman;s archenemy/former mentor). Haven;t seen Dark Knight, but Heath Ledger's Joker sounds cool. THe new Doc Oc? not so much. The new original Green Goblin? again, not so much, but at least he retains enough coolness for the movie to be okay, if not good. |

I've gotta say I'm pretty happy with recent superhero flicks. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
The new Joker was awesome. |

I was not at all disappointed with The Dark Knight. It met all my expectations...and MOAR. |

Kinda depends on the context, really...I mean if it's a woman who could normally handle herself in a situation, but just gets overpowered, then it's okay. But if the entire persona of the woman is "Oooh, heeeelp me! Heeeelp me! I only exist to be reeeescued!", then I can see where you're coming from. |

Super hero movies try too hard to go "deep" in one movie. The reason comic books can go "deep" is because they have enough time to have fun and seriousness. I would rather watch a funny superhero movie than a serious one. Spiderman three was good for at least 20 minutes of the hilariousness that ensued over Peter becoming the "Dark" version of himself. |

No offense, but one of my major pet peeves is actually this point of view. |

^ Oh my GOD! I love you but seriously just go to a proper theater and see the Dark Knight and then judge. |

There's nothing "false educational" about it. It's applying realism to fiction. To each his own, of course, but (as an artist who's main focus is fantasy and the like) it's always annoying when people refuse to grant such concepts the respect they deserve. It's like so many people think Superheroes are nothing but comedy, animation is nothing but entertainment for children, video games are just for kids and/or people with no grip on reality, etc. Just really gets under my skin I suppose. It's all subjective, though. |

I'm not saying superheroes should be nothing but comedy...but they certainly shouldn't focus on one scope of the entire human experience. From what I saw I didn't see even one light hearted thing in the movie. The closest I came to smiling was when the joker was talking bull shit...Maybe there were some pleasantries among the characters when they were speaking as normal citizens... |

Fair enough, I suppose. A movie can be too serious (though I found enough levity in the Joker to carry me through the rest of the movie's lack of it). But I definitely can't agree with you when you say you'd rather watch something like Batman and Robin over a movie like The Dark Knight. Personally, I'd like to see a movie that takes itself somewhat seriously and thoroughly (hopefully with a lot of action), and might compromise some comedy for realism, than something that is basically a perversion-turned-parody (such as Batman and Robin). I mean, I love comedy, but there is a time and place for everything. That's just me, though. |

I see what you mean about interpreting things differently because you're passionate about a subject. I've definitely been annoyed at times in situations where I've felt that people were just looking for things that aren't there. |
