Second, the darker and edgier trend combined with attempt to be artsy.
Too Long
With movies like Nolan Batman's trilogy, people are going on the way for 'edgy' entertainments again, this time with moving pictures. Things like Spiderman and Superman are made to become edgier and more serious. Like most anti-hero characters, they have problems in plot consistency, and more or less responsible for the first factor. You can see it clearly on Craig's Bonds, where they wrote things like dumping Mathis to dumpster instead of an intriguing or at least semi coherent story. Superman and Spiderman are clearly hurt by it, since they are supposed to be the virtue of goodness, and yet they done questionable things in their recent movies, and plenty of things done by their supporting characters are also quiet out of characters considering the plot developments alone. Even Dark Knight Saga has plenty of inconsistency regarding the realism that, for me, hurt the movie's plot points that otherwise great in plenty of time (like Batman survived long fall, Twice in Dark Knight without any broken bone, even when he wrecked the van that he intend to stop. Did Craig and Mrs. Brocolli got the idea to copying Batman's super-ability to survive death fall over and over again from there? Or better, Joker himself. His plans in hindsight required him to be extremely lucky while hoping everyone out there became idiots for a minute, like his escape from the police station). In summary, darker and edgier + attempt to make "art" are not necessarily good story, or at least a coherent one, and yet the trend keep going on and on.
So, yeah. That's my problems. Sorry for being too long. What about yours?
