7 Important Things That 2017’s Comic Book Movies Taught Us

Lower-Budget Superhero Films Are The Future

After the expensive lesson of Justice League, there’s no doubt that studios will be revisiting their model for making these types of films. No longer is it a guarantee that you can drop a lot of money on these films, not care about quality, and rake in a profit in return. Those days are long gone, my friends.

Looking at a film like Deadpool, which cost significantly less than most comic book movies nowadays, it shows the importance of valuing story and making a good movie over showy effects and stages. It almost singlehandedly proved that it’s possible to make a terrific film under $100 million and the audiences will still love it.

While everyone loves gigantic sets and extraordinary action sequences, there’s the potential to make better movies if the filmmaking stance isn’t geared towards style over substance. Sure, still give us the good stuff, but please deliver a decent movie while you’re at it. Through their expensive failures, we think the studios are starting to realize the importance of this, too.
