My favorite moment in Frankenstein is in when Igor breaks into the classroom. When somebody bumps into the model skeleton, it moves and clatters, and the whole class laughs, establishing A, that the skeleton articulates; B, it can be easily bumped; and C, that doing so is humorous.
Igor then bumps the skeleton unexpectedly and jumps from being startled. It's funny to the audience but more importantly tells us that Igor is nervous.
So moments later, we understand why Igor is startled by nearby voices and why he drops the jar and thus resorts to taking the abnormal brain. Igor's attempt to take the normal brain shows us first that Igor can read and initially made the right decision, granting him some credibility, and then that he's not quite concerned enough to stick around; he's happy to settle. Now we know that Igor is committed to Frankenstein, but he also has personality quirks that give him agency and unpredictably.
Tarantino says he has only one film left. Give it 6 years and he'll probably want to come back, that's when I'd like to see him try out a superhero film of his own.
It's pointless to theorise what superhero he'll pick because it's Tarantino he'll make what he wants.
Honestly I got to agree with him to a point. Superhero media is really crowding the TV, Film market and makes it pretty much impossible for a up and comer to make something original without having to do a superhero or horror film to get the recognition from the major studios.
Superhero films are kinda like westerns in a way, a genre with tons of films coming out every year varying in quality. Then after the market got "sick" of them, they started making less and less films and money per year. That's probably what's going to happen with superhero films, the large crowd of "common folk" (non-fandom aka roughly %60) are going to get tired of the formulas and things and start seeing other movies more and more. I think the same will also happen with remakes and reboots, people go through phases and eventually grow out of phases.
@Eagly If you were to ever make a movie superhero or any other genre, what would it be about and who would be in it (must cast only alive people, to add a rule).
@Kermit1 superhero movies/tv shows are a Genre and alot of them suck(like everything marvel phase 4). But they don’t have to. The movies Tarantino hates are the most corporate sanitized versions of super hero movies. It would be like saying You hate the Romance movie Genre because of Twilight. Just because Twilight sucks (not to say All Marvel movies suck I literally just dropped $20 for 15 minutes of Deadpool 2 footage). You can make great suphero media that makes people think like Doom Patrol, The boys and Peacmaker or you can make something completely unsanitized like Deadpool. Super Heros are A Genera and you can’t judge them by the worst Offenders. In fact I’d like to see what Taratintio could do with his own indy super hero movie because he probably could do better.
Wow, this is such a great take, I totally agree with this!
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

Also we need more practical effects, not just because they're real, it's because they're an art-form.
Honestly I have no clue what the next fad could be since westerns came and went, spy movies had their time, period pieces happened, romance was tacky, action went through the roof, sci-fi exists, horror is still where it was 30 years ago. and finally superhero movies, something we are still living in.
One of the above could come back, but it's more likely something else takes its place, but right now it's too hard to tell what will.
Video Game movies might if enough good ones are made.
I just don't want a giant connected universe again, It's a good thing to be solo sometimes.
@Kermit1 one Idea I had was to make a super hero tv show with more “realistic” powers. For example a healing factor. You see someone like wolverine regrow limbs in minutes from nothing . I’d say have a hero with a fast healing factor who has to actually supply his body with the necessary nutrients to use his powers. IE his arm gets cut off he has to eat 10 pounds of meat and drink alot of milk. Or super strength without durability so if they exerted their body too hard it would pulverize their own arm. Or lighting powers that behave like accurate lighting which is bolts of death that can’t be avoided or controlled once released. I’d say it’s close to the boys but I’d rather focus on the horrors of the powers rather than industry.
As for casting I’d go for broadway actors not celebrities.
Broadway actors, interesting if it were me I'd do a casting call or try to find some good up and comers.
That's a really good concept for a superhero story, would it be more gritty or more light heart-ed.
I want to make things no one else is making, I look at modern cinema and I'm shocked at the lack of ideas.
I adore the era of short films in the 60s (/early 70s) where people just experimented with cameras and ideas. I want to do that, I've watched so many videos about how to make a short film and movie and all of them are pointless because cinema doesn't/isn't need to be one way it's all 67 Zillion at the same time.
