The Crisis For Superhero Films, Why We Need Independent Films!

Cheers everyone!

It´s been a very long time since i did one of these blog posts about a specific subject but i feel that this is a good time to bring this up before Christmas arrives. So i think we have all seen how superhero movies have been doing in recent years, where especially films such as Shazam - Fury Of The Gods, The Flash and now recently how the new film The Marvels is doing at the box office. Black Adam may not have done really good but at least wasn´t the biggest box office bomb. People are not interested in seeing superhero films anymore as they used to be and the tickets sales proves that. I know there are a lot of comic book fans out there who love seeing these new films, but clearly both DC Films and Marvel Studios doesn´t make films that pull in the ticket sales that they need to make some kind of profit. But i believe i know what to do about this situation what more cinemas should be thinking about. 

What do you do when you see empty cinema seats and you know the audience want to see a new film?

You bring in independent films into the bigger cinemas instead to show the audience that just because a film doesn´t cost 200 million U.S. dollars doesn´t make the film bad. In fact there is a lot of independent films that doesn´t get discovered because the bigger studios have the money to promote their films that independent film studios doesn´t have. What they do have though is great quality films that should be experienced on the big screen so actors you have never heard of might get a chance to be seen, as well as film makers also get a chance to show that they are actually talented directors. I have seen a lot of independent films over 30 years in all categories from a lot of different directors and honestly i am more interested in what independent films are doing these days than the bigger film studios. Just look at directors such as Harley Wallen and his latest film Beneath Us All that should be running on screens across all over Sweden and Scandinavia this year, unfortunately that is not the case. But my hope is that in the future we do see Harley Wallen films showing here, because he and many other independent film directors deserve more respect for the hard work they do making these quality films.

Will for example the new The Marvels become a box office bomb this year? As it looks now it seems to be doing poorly at the box office and i think it really shows a perfect example of why superhero movies isn´t as popular as they used to be. So cinemas worldwide i think we need a change, and give indpenendent film makers a chance to show their films and let you see talented actors that doesn´t get the respect they deserve. Hopefully we will see a change coming and i personally hope to do a cameo role in an independent film as well, since i review a lot of titles and would love to actually show up in a film. If that happens i guess we well see but i definetely think people should be supporting independent films. Watch them on Shudder, Tubi, Amazon Prime, most of all rent them if you can or buy physical films such as myself.

Until my latest reviews shows up in here, remember that Commando Ninja II - American Invasion is getting closer to get a release date so stay tuned and remember....the more bullets you use, the more clearer it becomes you are on the right path.

Cheers from Daniel!
