Can we stop pretending comic book movies are for comic book nerds?
Nobody fucking reads comics, and the people who do either stick to the classics by Miller and Moore or avoid cape shit altogether, preferring European fantasy and sci-fi graphic novels instead.
99% of people who know any comic book lore learned it from YouTube Shorts and TikTok—they’ve never picked up a comic in their life. The majority of those who watch comic book movies are into superheroes as a co concept, not into comics.
