good though
To me the most important thing is a good story, though I know how cliche that sounds.
influenced inherently literally movies setting videogames
Because videogames are so inherently influenced by movies, to take a movie and literally create a videogame out of it, you're immediately setting limitations and expectations on what that game can be.
along lines mix movies
I feel like we're going to see a lot more movies that mix documentary style with fiction, more along the lines of 'District 9.'
I grew up in the '90s, and I loved Nirvana.
comedies dramas good great movies people superhero
There are as many great superhero movies as there are comedies and dramas and cartoons. People just want to see good movies.
filmmakers genre movies
Filmmakers have to really find a unique take on something if they're going to explore an already-explored genre of movies.
certain expectation objective painted specific
Most superheroes are painted with a specific moral objective that makes them who they are. And that moral objective influences everything they do, so there's an expectation for what you're going to see out of a certain character.

characters cleverness older opposed payoff rely run science setup star twists
In older science fiction stories, they had to rely on storytelling as opposed to spectacle. The old run of the 'Twilight Zone,' the star was the writing and the storytelling, and the characters and the twists and the cleverness in the setup and payoff and execution.
By the way, I have had zero press training.
