I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, the the the the, I'm not that in to movies in general. But I don't like superhero movies because it is always the same 野菜 thing, always the same 野菜 plot.

Hero is introduced.
Gets in trouble.
Gets superpowers.
Starts saving some lives.
Main villain is introduced.
Superhero gets こし kicked.
Superhero becomes magically stronger from emotional event/ learns enemy's weakness.
Superhero saves the day.
Roll credits.

But, even though it had this similar plot, I still enjoyed the Dark Knight trilogy. And the Iron Man movies. Kinda enjoyed the Avengers. 猿が大好きだよ new Spiderman movie. Loved old Spiderman trilogy.

This is why X-Men is the only one I like.

Totes forgot about Public Enemies, another solid story, or I just like Superman/Batman team ups. And Allison Mack was in it!

Gotham Knight's animation = awesome (all five), better than the Green Lantern counterpart when they did the multiple story arcs.

Did you see First Flight or Emerald Knights?

Ultimate Avengers and Ultimate Avengers 2 were both excellent! Haven't seen them in a long time, but I definitely remember enjoying them.

This is less a problem with superhero movies and more to do with Hollywood in general, as well as people simplifying things as a critique (while not simplifying the things they do like but w/e)

But the plot of the movies really isn't what people praise. It's everything else - it's the actual comic stuff. The actual superhero on screen doing amazing things visually and audibly. It's the special flourishes that make each superhero and their movie(s) interesting and unique. It's the darkness in the Batman movies and the themes of insanity and dark psychology. It's how relatable everything in the Spider-Man movies is, if you break it down past the exciting sci-fi. It's seeing something a lot of people grew up with "grown up" and put onto the big screen and being able to be taken seriously.

Superhero movies just recently exploded into the film industry, and now they kick こし left and right. Everyone gets hyped for every superhero movie because they do things other genres can't and won't. The plot used (in origin stories, which is usually the case for the example you provided) is just a vehicle to logically take the audience through the adventures of the character. The character is what everyone went to the theaters to see.

I see what you mean, but I hate watching a movie twice, especially two of the same plots.

And if you like the New Spiderman movie than you can rot in the trash can that I threw my copy in
