Simon Pegg is the British Seth Rogan. And in my opinion, Pegg's movies are infinitely sharper than the Rogan fare.

Comic book movies aren't the illness. They are simply a symptom of the illness. Comic book movies have infantile moral complexity. Loki bad, Hulk good. Hulk smash! Haha, good fun.

As we emerge from a 15 year war and a decade of economic hardship, we will wade back into the deep end of the pool. And I believe that is what Pegg is feeling.

Idk, I thought he was spot on as comic relief in Ghost Protocol and the Star Treks.

And his stuff with Nick Frost is good fun.

You got a little of moral complexity in Nolan's Bat-films, and to a lesser extent in Snyder's works, like Watchmen and Man of Steel. The problem is that many directors, like Snyder, aren't very good at competently conveying moral complexity.

I agree. Nolan has come closest to making an adult Superhero movie.

My favorite Superhero movie last year was Imitation Game. Alan Turing was a real Superhero.
