I haven't read any comic books since I was a kid, and I was very limited to my selection due to where I lived (and money). I don't know what those are, TBH. That being said, I want to make sure I don't say that serious comic books are automatically bad, as I'm guessing those are the examples that you are giving. I've read a few of the "serious" comic books, and they definitely can be great. I think what determines your look on comics is a matter of how long your comic book hobby ends up being. Mine was moderately short, so my memories are of fun comics. For those that it extended to when they were young adults and even into adulthood, you move into the more serious comics and enjoy those more since you are more mature and want more serious stories. That being said, even the people that get to that point will still remember (and might even still read) the fun comics since that's where most people get started, so they still might feel a bit of nostalgia when watching a fun comic book movie.
You make a good point. Maybe that's one reason behind why Guardians of the Galaxy are so popular.That being said, even the people that get to that point will still remember (and might even still read) the fun comics since that's where most people get started, so they still might feel a bit of nostalgia when watching a fun comic book movie.
