Uncanny Web-Slinger
Super Freak
The first Superhero movie of the year is two months away from being released.
Each year a general concensus tends to form regarding the superhero movies released.
While it isn't always so black & white, the underlying pattern still emerges in some form or another.
1. There is usually one people adore, merely liking it isn't enough, one must love it.
2. There is usually one that people like but can't bring themselves to love. There is a few things that keep it from being great.
These last two can sometimes be one and the same.
3. There is usually one that people hate on. People only have enough love so one needs to be selected to be hated. This will be trolled and fans ostricised for liking it.
4. And finally there is the one that all but gets ignored completely. When people discuss the superhero movies of the year it doesn't even come up.
_______
So from the mainstream superhero movies this year...
Man of Steel
The Wolverine
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Where do you think each will place in this scale?
It'll be interesting to see after all have released how the actual result varies from the estimations here.
________
My estimations:
So in essence this isn't based on the movies themselves but how adiences will react to & compare them

My estimations:
- Iron Man 3 will be the one you must love.
- Man of Steel will be very liked but will have some elements that niggle at people and halt them from loving it.
- The Wolverine will be the one that people hate on.
- Thor 2 will be the one that is generally not discussed as much as the other.
