At this point, screw Superheroes.

I'm done, DC and Marvel. I am now in a state where I just can't stand Superheroes any longer. And the big 2 just suck at giving me what I want.

Marvel movies as of now absolutely does not give me what I want from Superhero movies or anything that appeals to me.

DC movies as of now only partially gives me what I want appealed to me. But everyone hates it and its a sinking ship waiting to be rebooted into something either worse or just won't appeal to me. And the tiring prospect of watching the same movie again telling the same story again (But this time done "right") and again there over-reliance on Batman at the cost of their other heroes.

So what am I left with? Nothing, nothing at all. Comics? They are expensive and have a labyrinthine lore that spans almost 100 years of development especially when even a solo Superhero comic still makes crossovers with other characters from other comics, and even then they just recycle the same story arcs done years before like how many Teen Titans books have been rebooted only to show the same story-arc of say Raven turning evil and releasing her Demon father Trigon into the world?

Animation? Already perfected back in the 90s/Early 2000s with 90s Spiderman, X-Men, and the DCAU. Nothing the currently line up will ever live up to the past animated works.

In the end I am just done. Superheroes have lost me now, these "Icons of pop culture" are dead to me now.

I am just sticking with the Tolkien-Esque Fantasy.

There are comics other than the mainstream ranges of the Big 2.

Being stuck with only Tolkien rip-offs seems very dire.

Spectacular Spider-Man. 'Nuff said.

Ah yes, because Tolkien-esque fantasy didn't become tired and trite over a decade ago. :(

1. Eh the Art style looks like ass. If only it had the art amd animation of Ultimate Spiderman.

2. But I absolutely adore no matter how trite it gets, of course so long as its done well.

Have you considered making your own work? I'm not having a go here, I'm serious. Put a pen to paper, hammer out a concept, figure out where you want to take it, and start drawing. Worst case scenario, you've tried your hand at a new hobby that let you vent some of your frustrations and express the kind of story you wanted to see. Best case scenario, other people like it too. Seriously, even if you don't publicize it, you should consider giving it a shot.

Well I wanted to make my own Crossover fanfic of Teen Titans with Danny Phantom as a kid:



But writing is hard.

Honestly if you're going to complain about anything I'd have thought it would be the comics, specifically Marvel's comics which right now have done the seemingly impossible of being even worst then D.C.'s movies.

Even though I am done with Superheroes, I still stand by that Comics have made worse than any Movie ever made. At least movies are watchable.

I mean comics gave us this:

"TUNE YOUR EAR TO THE FREQUENCY OF DESPAIR, AND CROSS-REFERENCE BY THE LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE OF A HEART IN AGONY., LISTEN, LISTEN"

-Spiderman One More Day.

You know the worst part is that those days for Marvel where better then the current trash they're pumping out. It's gotten so bad comic book shops are now at risk of going out of business in many places and many have literally resorted to begging Marvel to stop pumping out trash.

You'd think that the company could afford competent artists and writers.

What is it that you want from them that you're not getting?
What I want is the epicness of Kingdom Come:



Combined with the Character depth of Watchmen.

Combined with DBZ style action that can get tense and brutal.

And some extra note from the best of DCAU.

I thought about being done with superheroes for a while... then Young Justice got a 3rd season.

Now I love them again.

*shrug* what can I say? I'm fickle.

The animation of the 90s Spiderman was crap hell he didn't even pull a punch

Some valid complaints, but does this also mean you'll stop having a coronary about those of us excited to see Guardians Vol. 2? Because I won't lie that got old fast.
