Marvel gets blamed for being the end of legitimate filmmaking. Meanwhile, hundreds of interesting films are made and consumed every year.
I think people get irrationally upset that their niche, artsy fartsy films don't get the audience share of the big budget blockbusters.
Well, duh, of course they don't. Movies like Transformers, Avatar, and the Avengers are the easiest, surest, people pleasing movies you can make. There's no age restrictions, excessive gore or sexuality, etc., so in an economy where even avid movie-goers are being picky about spending, these movies are the safest bet.
Some folks I know that have kids go to 1 or 2 movies a year. 2 adults and 2 children can be well over 100 dollars all-in. Do you go see The Lighthouse, or Fast and Furious 17?
