@ceppie it’s not just the lazyness, but some of them have the attitude that if you can read it then it is ‘good enough’.
As if proper spelling and grammar stops being essential if you aren’t writing for a language course.

@woldenspoons cheap & rubbish effects have their own charm.
Besides … what’s wrong with making cartoons instead of live-action ?
I’d even argue that part of the reason for live action should be to emphasize the stupidity/absurdity of being a superhero.
I think that’s why I kind of liked how Sin City was done in this over-the-top weird black&white cartoonish format, because it highlighted the crazyness.

As for having to wait for Doctor Who. I think it is much better than drowning in so many shows you can’t watch all of them.
I don’t mind waiting for ‘next week’ to see the next episode of a good show.
I used to like watching CSI (and all of its variants) … but the fact that they were broadcast every day in the week meant I also got bored as the high frequency also exposed the rather weak plots, one dimensional characters and story arcs.
It also meant that they had to re-start at random intervals because they ran out of new episodes.

One of the worst aspects of the MCU is that they fail to capitalize on the few moments when they do return to ‘normal life’ like they do when they fight that horde of robots (I can’t even remember the name of the movie ffs).
Thor has gone from a god-like being from an alien world to just a blonde surfer dude with a magical hammer.
And the less said about Captain Marvel (in one review referred to as ‘Plank’ due to her wooden acting) the better.

And then there’s things which are just bad like ‘Bright’.

Seriously. A cool concept (stolen from Shadowrun, Alien Nation …) ruined by lazy writing, because they chose to rely on names and special effects.

Oh … and this thing is one to watch : Why is it so hard to remember what happens in Transformers ?

The concept of a superhero is not bad.
The execution tends to suck and stink of lazy writing that favours flashy effects to hide mistakes and plot holes you can fly the millenium falcon through with space to spare.
