We’ve been able to have all these because we have a whole decade-plus of comic book movies to work with and draw upon the more there are, the more they force us to expand our horizons.
We have comic book movies that are downtrodden and depressing, comic book movies that are about villains, comic book movies that exist to make fun of the concept of a comic book movie in the first place. One of the more fun aspects of the boom in movies based on comic books and graphic novels is that we have, with all the success of these films, expanded our concepts of what a “comic book movie” really means. Welcome to This Week in Genre History, where Tim Grierson and Will Leitch, the hosts of the Grierson & Leitch podcast, take turns looking back at the world’s greatest, craziest, most infamous genre movies on the week that they were first released.
