I like Tarantino as much as the next guy but this article seems very biased in his favor. Tarantino is a great director but there’s a lot to criticize even his best films for. Also, the Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction segments didn’t really provide any new or exciting insights. Both films have a lot to talk about within them and I’m a little disappointed you didn’t spend more time on them. Your Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds sections were a lot more detailed and I would have loved to seen that attention spent on the other films too.

Good article. I liked the reoccurring mentions of X-Men that helped tie the ages together. I would really have liked to see some exploration into some of the lesser films of the modern era like Daredevil, Fantastic Four ’05, and Catwoman since I think those films provide a fascinating case study.

But what was here was very well written. Never really thought about dividing the modern comic book movie scene into three different eras but it totally makes sense.

Incredible article. One of the best listicles I’ve read in a very long time. My knowledge of Superman villains mostly stems from Wikipedia articles but this was both informative and interesting. Never knew about the Alan Moore Mongul story; I’m going to have to check that out.
