But it just won’t stop.Superhero movies are becoming pop music. The same way the music industry puts out simple formula music that garners to as big of an audience as possible, the film industry has found their formula; and you’re falling for it. The superhero audience has become an easy lay for the film companies where they’re almost guaranteed to get the bang from their buck with each new movie every other month.
