ERO MOVIES
EVER MADE!
superhero film and inject depth and
intelligence. It really does stand tall
among the ever blurring together
Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Split (2016)
Ha! Bet you didn’t see that com-
ing! Also spoiler alert, yes Split is a
superhero film! Well to be more ac-
curate it’s a super-villain film. Split
is essentially Unbreakable 2, the
sequel to M. Night Shyamalan’s
groundbreaking masterpiece. Split
is the ultimate super-villain origin
story. Nothing Marvel and DC have
done even comes close to this in
setting up a compelling and inter-
esting villain. The film received a lot
of flack for not being an accurate
depiction of mental illness... Well,
here’s the thing... It’s a damn super-
hero movie! Not a documentary.
The Avengers
(2012)
Yes Marvel’s The Avengers. The
film that showed us that having that
big a cast can work, although only if
they are fighting Loki. The Avengers
was an absolute blast. It smashed
box office records and became a
worldwide sensation. What more
can you say about it? “Kneel!”
