A genre of their own

There are two subjects I am highly passionate about. Sports, which I'll probably talk about in another post, and Superheroes. With the Age of Ultron trailer being released I figured it'd be a good time to capitalize on a post opportunity. Looking back on my adolescence I say that I was raised by God, Grandma, Superheroes. Right now it's a great time to be a fan of this genre that has really just exploded over the past couple years thanks to Marvel. Make Mine Marvel as it is commonly said.

Now, yes, there are a lot of misses to go along with the hits. There is an obvious flooding of the market as everyone is trying to cash in on Marvel's success. In 2016 there will be over 5 Superhero movies coming out alone. So I came across this article the other day that said the University of Baltimore was adding a class based on Marvel movies. Uhm, like what? I feel like that would be an excellent J-term class in the future.

It's amazing how much Marvel has influenced pop culture and love em or hate em they're a box office success. Personally my favorite is the first Captain America as his and my story is sort of similar. Yes, I say that I'm a hipster and liked him before it was cool. This year the Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy hit theaters and they weren't only a success financially, but critically as well. Marvel has a formula and as long as they stick to it I see them being successful for many more years to come. Now only if Sony would give them back the rights to Spiderman....
