Specific Reasons Why Superhero Movies Ruined Comic Books

This goes back to the radio days, with Kryptonite and Jimmy Olsen being created as devices to tell stories on that medium and then leaking onto the comics.

My biggest gripe is still the Donner Superman and the desecration of Krypton and replacing Pa and Ma Kent with Jor-el as the key inspiration for Superman.

The success of the films have ruined comics for many continuity obsessed, long term fans of Marvel/DC like me, but that doesn't mean they've ruined the medium.

The independent distributors that survived the 90/00's have benefited the most from the comic film explosion, with the mass exodus of so many creators looking to own rights to their ideas and its definitely hurt the big two and caused them to scramble to figure out how to make as much as they used to(they won't).

You have DC running in circles, rebooting their line then wiping out continuity almost completely to grab the younger generation, only to quickly realize they should've stuck to what they've always done best which is embrace their characters long histories.

Marvel has been damaged the most via tabling(FF) or wholly ignoring historically successful franchises of the past(Xmen) while at the same time, has made some of the boldest moves within the continuity of their universe.

It is very interesting to watch the entire situation evolve and I don't think its close to over yet.

that was a really poorly written article. one of their examples is the movies bleeding into the comics and making it worse. morrison's run on x-men was awesome.

click bait.
