Cinema, the great silver screen, the hollywood lights: movies have always had their titles, and just as they have always had titles, so, too, have they always followed certain themes.

As time progresses, those themes change.

The world saw the rise of film noir: dark and gritty detective stories, with “shocking” twists at the end.

After that there were westerns and other gunslingers, the hay days of Clint Eastwood and The Duke.

The modern period has seen a rise of a new kind of popular film however, those based off of fictional literary works, such as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.

A sub-theme of this is the rise of comic books as films, heralded by the successes of the Marvel cinematic universe and the DC Television universe.

So what is it that makes these films so popular in the modern age?

To start, one can look at the long tradition of comic books themselves.

The golden-age and silver-age of comics may be long behind us, but comic books are still a largely popular storytelling medium, using colorful graphics and intriguing plot details in order to garner the interest of readers.

Comics have been a popular source of entertainment since WWII, when they hit a boom.

The stories of heroes such as Captain America and Superman were not only mass produced at home, but also sent overseas to the soldiers as a source of entertainment.

Comics became a common way for people to relate to one another, and the stories depicting American superheroes beating up very real enemies, such as Hitler or Stalin, helped give people hope in times of war and crisis.

In the modern age, the people of that era who loved comics as they did have passed down that love to many of their children, and their children’s children.

Today, the Marvel and DC universes have near cult-like followings that stretch around the globe.

However, the popular media of the modern age is cinema, so in order to appeal to the younger generation, DC and Marvel have to translate their own stories into a new medium.

This does not mean cinema lacked popularity in the earlier days of comics, however the technology to show the special effects that are able to be seen in movies today did not yet exist.

This is a problem when the whole point of many superheroes is that they are fantastical, even beyond us in many respects.

In older films, the heroes are just too real, too human to make us really believe that they are able to do the things they do.

However, with the rise of the modern special effects team and digital cinematography, many doorways for depictions of the seemingly impossible are made: everything from Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit to Thor’s Hammer Mjölnir, and Superman’s heat vision.

Comic book movies appeal to so many generations of people, from the old to the young, which is why it’s not that surprising to see how popular they’ve become recently.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a world with superheroes, even if it is just for a few hours?

The idea of an escape from the hardships of reality is not a new concept, it is what draws so many people into reading fantasy and fiction novels, playing video games, or indeed going to the movies for an afternoon.

These movies also help teach people lessons, they teach social morality, what is right and what is wrong in the society in which we live.

Comic book movies appeal to so many new generations of people, from the old to the young, which is why it’s not that surprising to see how popular they’ve become in recent times.

They give role models to the younger generation, and inspiration to those who might one day create heroes of their own.

The role of the comic book movie transcends the role of the comic book in many ways, because while a comic book does all these things, a movie can reach a wider audience faster, and be shared more easily between people.

Comic book movies are a theme of the modern age, and are hanging around with surprising persistence.

One can only hope that they keep getting better as cinema, acting, and special effects improve.
