You create drama by giving the hero problems, and by having them face off against smart villains, something superhero films have had a hard time creating.
Anybody who thinks that Captain America needed yet another origin movie doesn’t watch Svengooli.
I have seen this movie and it is indeed bad. Probably the most amusing part is when Captain America, super soldier, super hero, a man at peak human condition, tries to trick Ned Beatty by pretending to be sick and hopping out of the car.
I was being sarcastic right up to the point where you agreed with me.
You seem to have the idea that there is only one good type of story and that a movie that tells any other type of story is therefore bad.
I disagree. I think most people would disagree. There are many different stories that can be told and they can all be told poorly or well.
Personally, I think the central point of the superhero genre is the characters being superheroes. If you’re not going to show them in situations where they need to use their superpowers, why make a movie about superheroes? You might as well make a movie about normal people.
And from that point of view how the character acquired superpowers is irrelevant to the plot. If you’re making a legal thriller, you don’t need to show the protagonist going to law school. The audience already understands what a lawyer is and how a person becomes one. The point of an origin in a superhero movie is that the audience doesn’t have that same familiarity; you might need to explain how the character came to be where he is.
So an origin story can be good. But you can tell an equally good story about a superhero and never explain their origin. You can even defy what I said above and tell a good story about superheroes and never show them using superpowers (James Gunn did that with The Specials).
It was a very good movie. I also think that many, many movie goers were not comic book readers.
FTR - I’ve been reading comics since the 70s, and I’ve never seen Svengooli.
Sven has been on in one incarnation or another since the 70s. Now he’s on MeTV on many cable systems. Here are his bits from Frankenstein. The humor has always been lame. It’s part of the charm.
“Svengoolie” was, until recent years, pretty much a Chicago thing.
The character is played by a Chicago-area guy named Rich Koz, who has hosted a cheesy movie/comedy show on various Chicago stations for decades. His show is currently on WCIU, which is owned by the same parent company as MeTV – and, as you note, MeTV now runs the Svengoolie show nationally.
Koz was a fan of the original Svengoolie (played by Jerry G. Bishop), who also hosted a similar movie show in Chicago in the early '70s – Koz’s character was originally known as “Son of Svengoolie” (with Bishop’s permission), and eventually dropped the “Son of” portion of the name (again, with Bishop’s permission).

Actually, I think that most of the Marvel movies (including Ant-Man) were better than Endgame. But then, I also thought that the first Avengers was better than most of them, so the point remains.
