Now, a lot of times, I do prefer early Thor, as silly as some of it seems now or Bronze Age Superman, which was pretty decent. I'm not angry about it. I realize time moves on. I often like what is currently being done with some characters though I might not enjoy it as much if there wasn't a plethora of old stories to read too.
But I also think some current stuff is better than others and what happens in the best comics is almost always better than movies. Another truism seems to be that, most of the time, animated movies will be better than live action movies though they will never sell as big. I liked a lot of MoS and I'm not even upset about the killing. I've never called it murder. I just didn't like how forced it seemed. I also thought the whole "hope" deal was a nice buildup but was sort of hoisted on it's own pitard, the movie's own "realism" making it unbelievable that people are going to accept him.
