// the movies have been written by Hollywood types who have no interest in or love of the comic book genre

I’d say that’s what Hollywood always does.
It’s rare to get someone who actually understands the source material to do any movie in Hollywood.

We got really lucky with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but even that didn’t last as Hollywoods’ influence was clearly visible in the Hobbit.

I must admit that I don’t know any of the superhero source material.  Although as source material goes that’s also not the most stable out there as every superhero apparently has a reboot of his origin story every so often. If there’s anyone able to milk source material for maximum financial gain then it is the superhero genre.

Maybe that’s why I liked the Deadpool movies. It’s one of the lucky few that got a producer/director/actor combo that had a real passion for the subject.

@a27cromwell of course she will be back if she’s needing the money. But then I do believe her primary argument was that her character had a meaningful sacrifice in that final movie. A return from the dead would lessen the impact of that sacrifice, but then that’s an issue that the genre itself suffers from with villains who won’t stay dead and endless reboots/re-imagine-ings of origin stories.
