We Don't Need Another (Super) Hero!

Dear Hollywood Producers,

 In the middle of the summer heat, there is nothing better than a good movie to cool down. However, this movie doesn't have to include any of the following: superpowers, costumes, and sound effects. Enough with the superhero movies. I don't care what 15 yr old  ComiCon nerd camps out for four days in the middle of California, just stop. Batman with Christian Bale is legendary, Iron Man with RDJ is cool, but Captain America with the dude who was the Torch in Fantastic Four, really? Really? Chris Evans looks good undoubtedly, but does he have to look good in tights? Superhero movies are so cliche' yet easy to produce because they guarantee box office. Yet earlier this summer we saw the epic fail of the Green Lantern and last year's Green Hornet. So it isn't a golden ticket. But why can't we get some diversity? I like thinking about being rescued by a cute guy, but it gets old. The narrative is over exhausted and trite, just like a lot of things going on in entertainment. But what really gets me is the fact that I'm supposed to want to see Captain America get his rescue on. The only capacity I had heard about Captain America was in ads in magazines as a kid. He wasn't even in the doggone SuperFriends. Come on now. Let's be real. Captain America is the redheaded superhero. No one cares enough to see, but eventually the disaster will be televised (probably on TNT). But please producers, give me something, anything to stop this trend.

Sincerely,
We Don't Need Another (Super) Hero
