Ok grandpa, maybe you give a damn about the origin of all these fuckin’
superheros. That’s because you were reading under the covers with your flash light in 1964 all about these dudes that they are throwing at us like we care. Think about it, every other movie out there just “throws us into the mix”. The characters come out of nowhere, and we get caught up in the story. Not all these bloody super hero movies… NOOOOO, we have to give a fuck where they came from. Well, I for one would rather see a Green Lantern, or a Thor in the middle of their so called “careers” like every other hero/villain in the movies. Then, if they are all that, maybe I’ll give a fuck where they came from. Stop treating this generation like it gives a fuck about your bloody Cpt Americas and whoever the hell you want to drag up from the comic book pile, and just entertain us. That’s why we spend our hard earned money on your overpriced popcorn anyway. —Enough Already with the Origins

  1. There is a segment of society(“movie goers”) who believe movies can be a pleasant diversion, and they enjoy the STORIES and so forth.
    You’re bitching because a movie is telling the story of where (Insert Superhero Here) comes from?
    And what the fuck’s with this grandpa talk? Does it really offend you that much that someone over 30 loves your precious comic books too?
    Jesus, you sound like a twat. Are you the illegitimate offspring of MontrealMan and one of his Wine Nancies?

    Worst. Bitch. Everrrr.

  2. LOL!! ^^ yeah this is a stupid bitch and so are you OP.

    Half the fuckin movie would be cut off. The whole point of this shit is to tell the story. What, should we just summarize for you? I can’t picture that.

    The Hulk sucked ass, both of them, I’ll give you that, but Spiderman was one of the better movie going experiences I’ve been too. Maybe you just don’t like superhero movies.

  5. Amen to this.
    Seriously, how many times do we have to have a reboot of Batman to find out he has Mommy issues because his Mom was shot in the face in front of him.
    Much agreed. Get on with the story.
    Seriously guys, you care about where these freaks come from? Just watch them fight for JUSTICE. Kill the baddies.
    It’s all BS anyways. Just fluff.

  6. I just wish they’d get to the awkward part of a grown man ‘adopting’ an orphan and turning said orphan into a vigilante.

  9. it’s not just the comic book shit, it’s a lot of older movies getting a remake, and failing fucking badly. take the hills have eyes, cape fear, tooth fairy, or any one of a 100 in the lasten years. even planet of the apes, FOR FUCK’S SAKE. the new rise of isn’t bad, although, you can only make so many sequels or perquels. then they all just start to suck. but i do hope they make another avatar movie, that was fuckig cool.

  13. I think it’s Donk (where is she by the way?) that refers to these bitches as first world problems.
    You know you don’t have to go and see these movies right OP? Besides what’s wrong with seeing where it all began, every story has a beginning?
    As a “grandpa” would read all the original Marvel comic books I think you’re off the mark OP. I really don’t believe all these Hollywood studios would be investing $50-100,000,000 if they did not think where was enough interest in the “beginning”. Their investors want return on their dollars.
