In a world where copyrights don’t exist and you can use the likeness of any popular character in your movie, we would have MUCH more garbage to make fun of.
I am not completely satisfied with every film that comes out with my favourite comic book characters in it. But at least I know they are making the best effort to present what they feel is the best quality and best story for the character. No one makes a film KNOWING it will suck. But we at least dont get everyone and their dog farting out their own verstions, because they would get sued.
Want to see what happens when Superman falls in love with Spiderwoman?
Yup, it makes no sense at all. Not even from the same comic book world, but thats the least of the problems. I especially like the combat scene where they find the couple being harassed by some modest looking men, and Superman has to take care of them with really bad special effects and Spiderwoman has to tend to the mildly roughed up victims. Its a good thing women can’t fight.
So the next time you are pirating a movie with your empty justifications, remember that Copyright laws and Trademarks protect the owners, but they also give us the best chance at seeing a quality film involving those properties.
