  • Episode 203: Superhero Fatigue Is Fake: Change My Mind

    With DC and Marvel movies under performing at the box office, one could ask why these iconic character movies suddenly are not performing well?One excuse is Superhero fatigue, but how real is this phenomena? This week, Jared invites Brucifer from Kingdom Of Nerds to the show to discuss if this fabled Superhero fatigue is indeed real or fiction.

    Discussed in this episode:
    1. Brucifer's history with Marvel and DC comics
    2. If Superhero fatigue is real or if its just bad movie fatigue
    3. The problems with Comic Book fandom
    4. Why Superman is awesome
    5. Why different takes on a character are ok
    Superhero movies that are good can and do perform well, and the fatigue is, in reality, an excuse made up to excuse bad story telling!
    What do you think? Does Superhero Fatigue exist? What else can explain the underperformance of the most recent comic book movies?

    Following the success of Tim Burton's Batman 1989 movie, Warner Bros commissioned the Kevin Smith to write a new take on the Man Of Steel, directed by Tim Burton. Complete with giant spiders, polar bears, and more, this movie would have been a very interesting take on the Man of Steel. But this movie would never see the light of day as WB would can the movie after the bomb of batman and Robin. Join the Comics League crew as they do a deep dive into this film and if it would have been successful!

    Discussed in this episode:
    1. The plot of Superman Lives
    2. Why it was canned
    3. If this movie would have been successful
    4. Celebrating 200 episodes of Under Two Capes
    5. The plans for the podcast in 2024
    Superman has certainly had a very fascinating history on film, and this story testifies to the monumental mess up that WB has been to the DC IP.
    What do you think? Would you have seen Superman Lives? Would the movie have been successful? Should WB have canned the movie?

    1. Why the original plot of Flash (2023) doesn't work
    2. Why Grant Gustin's inclusion makes the film better

  • Episode 197: Making Star Wars Better

    Let's face it, the Star Wars franchise has been on a downward trend under Disney since the Force Awakens (short of gems like Rogue 1 and Solo). The question remains, how would we fix the franchise if we were put in charge

    1. What makes Star Wars special and our favorite Star Wars Movies
    2. Where Disney went wrong with their management of Star Wars
    3. Who is to blame (Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, etc.)
    It is important to note that this whole discussion is done out of love for the Star Wars franchise, and we only want the franchise to be as healthy as possible.
