After a decade of seemingly unstoppable success, comic book movies have hit a wall. Terrible audience reviews. Disappointing box office results. Executives scared away from pursuing additional films. And this year, Marvel Entertainment co-produced and Sony distributed arguably the worst film in this genre ever made. That brings us to that revealing quote.
