If I had to tell #Hollywood to change one thing about superhero movies, I would tell them to stop making superhero movies in the “superhero” genre that is the first #Avengers movie.

Taken over by a symbiote? Make it a horror movie! Takes place on multiple planets? Make it a space odyssey in the vein of #StarWars! Are there no superpowered weapons? Make it an action movie! Are there zero stakes? Make it a romance film, or an #AdamSandler style comedy! Is the main character a kid? Make it a teen drama!

There are so many creative things you can do with superhero movies, but they almost always end up being some derivative of a sci Fi action comedy film with a slightly gritty exterior.

You make a valid point! Superhero movies often do follow certain formulaic patterns, and it can feel like we've seen the same storylines and styles over and over again. It would indeed be refreshing to see more experimentation with different genres within the superhero movie realm.

Imagine a horror movie where a superhero is taken over by a terrifying symbiote, keeping us on the edge of our seats. Or a space odyssey exploring multiple planets in epic fashion, giving us that grand sense of adventure like Star Wars. An action-packed superpowered weapons extravaganza could be loads of fun! And hey, injecting some romance or Adam Sandler-esque comedy into the mix wouldn't hurt either.

By breaking away from the traditional sci-fi action comedy mold and exploring diverse genres, superhero movies could reach new levels of creativity and appeal to wider audiences. So here's hoping that Hollywood takes note of your suggestion and starts embracing more imaginative approaches to superhero storytelling!
