That's the main issue though. A big part of making movies that continue to be good is to bring fresh things to them to keep the casual moviegoers coming. There haven't been trends that have been able to survive like that over the long term for a long time.

The Avengers made $1.5 billion US dollars worldwide. Assuming an average ticket price of $12.50, that's roughly 121.5 million people going to see the movie. I'll be modest and say half of those people are comic book fans who are diehard fans and would go to any Marvel or DC movie. Even then, when they eventually lose the other half of that fan base (and they absolutely will; to say they won't is ignorant and ignores essentially every trend in movie history), they will be left with ~$750 million in grosses on what is the most profitable venture they've had. Movie studios pay out half of their box office grosses to the theaters, which would leave $375 million to cover production, print and advertising costs. Of course, there is also merchandise and home media sales, a big reason why this trend is safer than most in Hollywood have been, but eventually these movies that have gone from niche to mainstream will fall back into niche and be taken over by nachos flying spaceships or whatever stupid trend will be big in a few years.

I'm just saying, the general viewer doesn't view it as "oh yeah, Guardians of the Galaxy has obscure characters but it's a fresh take on the superhero genre because it's edgy and in space", they view it as "lol goin to see another superhero movie". The superhero trend is gonna go the way of the found footage horror genre, the vampire genre and the mech/sci-fi genre before it reaches the point of Avengers 3. What I don't understand is why movie executives can never predict this when it has happened to them so many times before.

I feel like by that point the superhero craze will die and they'll regret it. Movie trends just don't last long, the general public can only direct their attention at the same thing for so long.

Graphics tournaments in the VHL have usually worked basically like that though and it's always the same thing. The last one I was in I made the best sig I'd ever made to that point for the second round and my reward was losing to Koradek by 15 instead of 25. I really like the idea of putting the sigs in a poll each week and having people vote for the 2 worst or 4 worst of the week or whatever and doing the elimination that way. Maybe do them one by one once you get to like the top 6 or something. It also allows us to have less or more than 16 people.

Also, saying Littlefinfer killed Lysa just because is being short sighted. The Vale is a key stronghold in Westeros and holding Robert Arryn in his hands is already a good position to be in.

Whipping boys were standard practice for the time.

I'm gonna be at my mom's all week (the place where I broke the internet) so this week will have to be delayed until that either gets fixed or Friday.
