Within the last several decades, Hollywood has put an increased emphasis on adapting comic book properties as major blockbuster films. The term “superhero fatigue” has become more common recently as a result of some major box office disasters; however, there are more than a few successes that indicate that the genre isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
In hindsight, Blade may not have appealed to critics who were interested in seeing a subversive take on the vampire movie genre and may not have done enough to distinguish itself from other action films starring Snipes. However, comic book fans were excited about seeing one of their characters lifted perfectly from the page. In an era where superhero movies were less common, Blade’s existence was a novelty.
The film’s strong visual continuity with the source material may have drawn the praise of comic book fans, as it seemed unlikely that the film would ever see the light of day. Despite opening itself up to potential sequels with a post-credit stinger, Constantine was a financial disappointment that failed to kickstart a new franchise for Warner Bros. and DC.
Despite the more positive reactions from audiences, Eternals has not had a significant impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Development of a sequel has seemingly stalled, and the new threat introduced in the film’s post-credit scene has yet to be addressed by the MCU. However, the film’s release amidst the COVID-19 pandemic may have led to some short-sighted decisions on the part of Marvel Studios.
At just over 90 minutes, Venom: Let There Be Carnage may not have had enough narrative momentum to justify the hype that it earned from the marketing materials. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is perhaps best appreciated as a guilty pleasure, lacking the self-seriousness that had crept into many other Marvel and DC comic book adaptations. The film doesn’t take itself seriously, but critics may have expected a more well-fleshed-out narrative from a filmmaker of Serkis’ talent.
