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:

  • 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.

So in essence this isn't based on the movies themselves but how adiences will react to & compare them

I'd say that's about right.

I think IM3 will be the one that sucks, it reeks like Spider Man 3 to me.

I think Thor is inherently under the radar, so it probably won't get the "love it" rating.

I think Superman is ripe to be the one everyone adores.
 
Re: 2013 Superhero Movie Audience Concensus Predictions

I have the feeling IM3 is going to be sub-par. It's the third movie (threequels don't have a good track record) and just seems all over the place.

Thor is going to be under-hyped.

Man of Steel could be a 'love it or hate it' movie

The Wolverine...who knows? Has to be better than the first.

I'll be the only one lovin on Wolvie since I was ok with the first one...:lol
 
Re: 2013 Superhero Movie Audience Concensus Predictions

Just curious Nova, but which superhero film of last year would you categorize under this option?:

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.



.....:lol

As long as Stark does not have a dance scene to make Pepper jealous then IM3 should be a good time. :lol

The most exciting upcoming superhero movie to me is Guardians of The Galaxy.

Everything is 100% brand new and fresh.

I'll be the only one lovin on Wolvie since I was ok with the first one...:lol

My most anticipated this year too, but i don't think it'll be met with any fanfare.
 
Re: 2013 Superhero Movie Audience Concensus Predictions

I've got high hopes for the wolverine can't wait for the new trailer
 
Re: 2013 Superhero Movie Audience Concensus Predictions

I think Thor is going to surprise people. It won't be "just another superhero" movie.

I really loved the first one. So I'm hoping this one can be every bit as good.
 
Re: 2013 Superhero Movie Audience Concensus Predictions

IM3 - IMO will have awesome parts but some face palm moments. Out of the bunch this will be the best. People will love it.

Man of Steel- will be the one nit picked to death. I don't think they have the right formula to make this a great film yet. There will be those who will die by this being the great comeback... but they will be wrong. ;)

Thor 2 - this will be just like the first (which I liked) and people will love it and hate it.

Wolverine- has no chance. I would love to be proved wrong, but after all the films they have yet to do this character justice.
