Tom Hanks says moviegoers are no longer interested in VFX spectacles and are returning to good storytelling.
I remember when old actors and directors used to say the sci Fi genre was a fad and it sucks and would die out, just like people with comic book movies do now.
In reality, comic book movies have been a thing since like the 40s and they aren’t going away.
Also I think older people like Hanks like to mix up superhero movies and comic book movies. Hell, road to perdition was a comic book movie, so was history of violence and other great films. But those movies are really good, so the people in Hollywood like to bury the comic origins of those films, so they can continue to say comic book movies suck.
I think that plays into his point about good storytelling.
It’s not that comic book movies are inherently bad, it’s that they tend to rely on their format instead of being good in their own right.
But again I think you’re talking about MCU super hero movies not “comic book movies” which can be anything from v for vendetta, to sweet tooth.
