2. Maile: I like superhero movies because they have appealing
characters, good relationships between different characters
which makes you focus more on the film and almost teaches you
how you can get along with those who have opposite
personalities to you. I dislike the typical scenarios in superhero
movies such as the male gender always being a superhero and
saving the female gender from certain crisis etc. My preference
is for upcoming superhero films to be different to other typical
superhero films and grasp my attention within the opening
scenes.

3. Jyoti: I enjoy watching superhero films because they are
almost set up, to make you feel like you are in a fantasy
world, unfortunately they are nothing like real life situations
that people face, by showing this in superhero films in my
opinion would attract more audience as it is time and world
related, I also find the characters in some superhero movies
attractive, this make the movie more fascinating to watch.
On the other hand I dislike the fact that there is not enough
dialogue in superhero movies and there is too much
soundtrack’s which sometimes are not even catchy and
make the film boring, superhero movies can also be too
childish which can be a put off and this may be a major
reason to how and why they lose viewers.

4. Lauren: superhero films attract my attention because they contain
a lot of action, drama, romance and tension which is what many
people would expect from a superhero film, they also tend to
have good storylines and morals which relate to mainly
youngsters and teach them a variety of different aspects of life. I
dislike how superhero movies contain too much explosion and
violence, in my opinion this is a bad outcome on the current
generation and this can get youngsters involved into violence, as
they may think it’s a good side of life and act as heroes but in
reality are causing harm, violence in superhero movies can also
lead to why youngsters get bullied. Another thing I also dislike
about superhero movies is that they’re storylines are too similar
to other superhero movies, which kind of puts you off from
watching them as you already guess what going to happen next
and have a vague idea to how the movie will end.

5. Umaad: I like superhero films because they are exciting and
interesting to watch, they can also be very inspiring to the
younger generation which makes me keener on them. My
dislikes about superhero films are when the superhero dies, this
is very emotional. I would prefer superhero films to be slightly
longer and leave cliff-hangers to gain more attention and tense
the viewers. Superhero movies also need have more narrating to
them to keep the viewers on track as there is a lot of scene
cutting in these movies.

7. Primary Research Two

8. • I like to see attractive characters, therefore i prefer watching
Superman rather than, Spider man because the superhero in
Superman is more attractive and appealing to me. I’m exposed to
see this attraction because I'm from the female gender.
• Comparing the two superhero movies; Superman and Spiderman, I
personally like Superman more because it doesn’t contain too much
action and has a simple storyline which makes it easier to follow
and understand. Also its franchises are named differently and not
named as Superman 1, Superman 2 and so on, this makes the
viewer realise that the movie is not going to be similar to the
previous one or carry on from the earlier movies that have been
made and shown.
• I prefer Superman because its characters are presented more subtly
and shown to be doing everyday activities, that normal people do,
the layout of the settings and costumes are also relevant and not
revealing body parts, which makes it more suitable and comfortable
to watch around younger kids.

9. • My dislikes about superhero films are that they can be
unrealistic, and for me regarding my age, parts of Superman are
unrealistic for example when he flies up in the sky, but its just
the appearance on the actor that makes me want to watch the
movie again and again.
• In my opinion superhero movies need to contain comedy, to
keep its viewers entertained. This was the downfall in
Superman, even though its a romance movie it needed that little
bit of comedy to put a smile on your face, this film can be
slightly sloppy and boring for young kids, as it contains a lot of
romance and love scenes.
• My preference would be for superhero films to be more realistic
and not contain too much action or violence, and for them to be
different to others; by showing that the hero does not always
have to have super powers and can just be a hero due to their
commitment and hard work. Also I would like to see the female
gender more in superhero movies and I would like to see how
the females present themselves and represent the gender.

10. • My favourite superhero movie is the incredible hulk, because its
almost like the nutty professor, except the man turns into a green
beast rather than turning fat. I enjoy watching this than other
superhero films like batman, because its more realistic and
scientific and shows what chemicals make the human body turn vile
but at the same time incredible.
• When superhero movies are interpreted by normal, realistic movies
they are more fascinating to watch by teens and are more reliable
at that age, however for young kids they should still produce
superhero movies which are unrealistic because that is what kids
enjoy watching, but when there aiming superhero films to teens
they should make them more realistic and thrilling to watch, so the
audience is looking forward to watching the movie without having
thoughts on it may get slightly boring.
• The incredible hulk is a great superhero movie that can be watched
by most ages from 8 years to 30, because its not too childish and
unrealistic, if they carried on making films like this, then in my
opinion the film industry would make loads of money and gain a lot
of attention from the public.

11. • The superhero genre is easy to understand and enjoy if your a small
child, but when your in your teens, you want to watch new things
and experience a variety of reality situations in films. Therefore I
don’t like how most superhero films have similar storylines and just
one hero, in reality there is more than one hero, in fact everyone is
a hero in some form, for that reason they need to show kids in films
that every person has a talent and is good at something and you
don’t have to be famous or well known, to have power.
• Another thing I don’t like about superhero films is that the hero’s
costume is always childish with bright colours and logos etc. They
need to be more simple and normally dressed to be different to
other superhero films, by doing this they may gain elder audiences
and make extra profit.
• They can also introduce different cultures and races, and people
from different backgrounds, in order to show kids the different
types of minorities in the country/world. In effect they could also
show what happens in different countries. E.g. Poverty, natural
disasters, racism but keep it to a certain extent of imagery.
• Furthermore superhero films need to be realistic but at the same
time be convenient to be watched by a variety of ages and
ethnicities.
