You just don’t know how it was pre-MCU, if your profile age is to be believed. Back in the 90s-early 00s it was a different time for comic book movies.

There is a reason why everyone went crazy when Jackman came back as Wolverine in DP&W.
Yeah Deadpool and wolverine was really good but a lot of the fox x-men nostalgic stuff is lost on me and yes I am 17 I did not lie about that

Yeah it’s lost on you because you’ve only known the good stuff that came from the MCU (and some Spidey films evidently), which there is nothing wrong with that. But for those of us older that were around prior to the MCU we know all the stuff and have nostalgia for it. Heck some of us are old enough to remember and have watched Hulk when he was on TV. ;)

Most comic movies were low budget hatchet jobs prior to MCU…way fewer exceptions than those that followed the rules

Sorry no offense it’s just weird how I’m maybe the youngest active poster on this site
As I recall we've had posters as young as 14 on this site, they mostly kept to the Imagineering forum as they like to dream up new rides and parks. But you've provided some good posts and banter here, so keep up with it. :)

A few good ones

Well…Superman…at least 🤷🏻‍♂️

MCU took a different approach…and the Nolan movies provided the gravitas
Most of the "bad" ones were too campy and just didn't bring the average viewer along, which is why the MCU and as you said Nolan was different. They brought comics to the masses in a way that no other did before outside of Reeves (before Superman 3/4).

Speaking of the worldwide footprint of Stitch (from a couple pages back)... I was struck by the silent and symbolically important presence of Mickey Mouse & Stitch in The Seed of the Sacred Fig [an Iranian(!) movie] when I saw it yesterday. Definitely a known character around the world if he's showing up in the wardrobe of a movie like that.

I also misspoke earlier when I said that none of the movies I was seeing this weekend are Disney movies. The indie documentary we saw at our local art museum was Patrice: The Movie, a fantastic piece from ABC News/Hulu. I can't say much about it without getting political, but it centers around a disabled couple and their struggle to get married in modern America. Quirky, hilarious, and heartbreaking -- strong recommend.

Young is encouraged…there was once a bright rookie on one of the boards…exceptionally sharp at 15…they made him a moderator…

But the profiteering owners were in a devil cult and forced him out (not here)

He’s around…early 30’s now by my guestimation.

Gotta start somewhere
