X-Men and Spider-Man were groundbreaking movies, and deserved to get out of the first round. That said, they are pretty cringe-inducing to watch today. It was a simpler time.

Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: GENOSHA Group Post by: Dave Gray on April 13, 2020, 09:46:07 am I'm going Spider-Man and X-Men. This is tough. I like Deadpool, but I think it's going to age like South Park -- it's so into the references of its era.
Spider-Man and X-Men are pretty timeless. Logan was also good.....I just think I'll go with groundbreaking nostalgia. Tough one. Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: GENOSHA Group Post by: Spider-Dan on April 14, 2020, 02:49:12 am Voting has ended! Deadpool and Spider-Man advance to the next round.
Title: Re: CLOSED: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: GENOSHA Group Post by: Spider-Dan on April 14, 2020, 03:09:31 am Sad to see Logan booted so soon. I expected it to go much further, and a last place finish in the round of 32 is disappointing.
