Art slides to Cinematic films

In the article Blockbuster Meets Superhero Comic, or Art House Meets Graphic Novel? The author, M McAllister depicts the raising trend of comic books transitioning to movie or show adaptations. The author states "More important, modern comic bookbased films have helped establish the industrial formula of the Hollywood popcorn blockbuster: fantastic action movie as cultural event" Meaning that comic flick movies have become something that society looks forward to discuss, perhaps as a way to mend with society and to remain in cultural discussions that people have with these movies. McAllister further adds "Comic book materials attract a youthful moviegoing demographic, appeal to nostalgic older audiences, and offer thrills and welldefined archetype characters". Showing us more ways how the comic to movie audience stay attracted to this trend and by the author's saying, it seems to appeal to most of our generation's society.

In my opinion i lean towards what McAllister says in the sense that comic book movie adaptations as well as TV show adaptations have a natural way of appealing to the mass majority of people, even the  not so die hard fans that some might align comic book lovers to be as.
