Why movies based on lousy (to begin with) comics?

I had an opportunity to work for the D.C. Comics - which is basically a factory of horrible scripts and mediocre art (no to mistake it with the starving artist doing it, who actually have to eat). America have some great comic artists, like Richard Corben who is mostly marginalized since his work is just too fucking 'complex' for an average joe. Fuck Hollywood - they wont see penny out of me!

Watching the Indie and a couple of other tv channels featuring older movies (50's-60's), we commented about how those old flicks were based on human stories, with subtle and complicated interactions between people. Fewer scripts then based on shooting and cars.

We wondered where they went, because that kind of movie-making isn't done much anymore. Some speculation about changing social behaviors, etc., but the bottom line -- in our discussion at least -- was that television itself has killed off (or changed) the movies by changing people's expectations about how to act in social settings. Plus people do not personally interact as much because of all the electronic interfacing and diversion.

Folks don't do subtle and complex as much any more, therefore little interest in it when seen on the screen.

Just wondering here; no real science to throw out.

  There are tons of good films about people made elsewhere.
  
  Indies are not panacea, unfortunately... I would say at least 60% of it is very primitive and pale.

  Young people - teenagers and 20-somethings.
  
  Movies are mostly based on their interests.
  
  Adults these days are home watching Downton Abbey I guess.

    Like all such devices, without proper training, deadly to handle.
    Never used in same conversation that contains subject matter concerning the Canine or Feline Units.
    Never used when drinking. Never used when others present, or death is instantaneous, followed by divorce, in that order.
