[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7841899, member: 6795602"] There's a few things that make marvel's success less surprising 1. CGI and graphics are now able to adequately visually produce the worlds and abilities we are expecting to see. 2. Super hero fantasy for kids and up has been very prevalent for decades now. Mostly in cartoons and toys etc. The basis is set and now we want to see more adult versions of them. 3. The stories told in marvel universes tend to be simple and fun with easily identifiable villains and a few higher morale statements. It's honestly a great combination to base a movie on as long as your audiences are open to super power stuff - which younger audiences tend to really enjoy. So while it could have flopped, it's not really surprising that it didn't. Keep in mind these aren't just hindsight points, these are all reasons the initial risk on super hero movies were taken to begin with - because these things mitigated some of the risk otherwise present in the uncertain endeavor.
