Re: The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread
Yes but that actually doesn't have anything to do with what I was saying. I was specifically addressing claims that this might be the best year ever for genre films. It really could be considering the line-up. But when I look at each film individually it seems that there's a pretty good chance that there's going to still be a better movie showcasing the same characters from a previous year.
Which would just make this year unique in the shear volume of A-list icons making an appearance but not in the amount of genre classics it generated like we saw in 1982 or '84.
That would be just fine by me. All of those were great movies. Just because movie A is better than movie B, doesn't make movie B garbage.
