Surprised it took that long to post The Incredibles.
My question is, why would you want Hollywood to invent a superhero?
The redeeming quality of superhero comic books are that for every 5 recycled, forgettable, hack stories, there's one that rises above, lasts long beyond the pages and reaches for something more. But that's with so many swings at getting it right. If Hollywood started making their own off-brand superheroes, we'd most definitely be getting worse than something they could pluck from the 80 years of comic book writing.
I get being tired of seeing the same dudes get done over and over against though. It sucks cuz, there's an almost endless amount of great comic stories that haven't been touched yet. Like, where are Y: The Last Man and Sandman at?
Is there ever gonna be a Black Panther movie?
Iono...either way, I would rather have more Inceptions than more Thors.
