MCU, unfortunately.
00s - LOTR and 9/11 war/spy movies
10s - capeshit
20s - white people are scary horror movies
Range ban from posting those images, moron?
>white people are scary horror movies
These will never be big cuz no one watches them no matter how much Hollywood keeps sucking them
Get Out and Us were successful
By indie standards probably, but neither of them hit above around $250m at the global box office, even with the media pushing white hatred harder than ever.
It was a critical success
>white people are scary horror movies
????????
Hackson started capeshit with this trilogy though
it's not going to stick, fren
In terms of quality?
Perfect example of the poor quality. Thanks anon. XOX
Upvoted!
Why are you people obsessed with these dogshit capeshit movies? No these movies aren't high art or good for that matter. It's forgettable garbage and shouldn't be brought up in any serious discussion
Unironically Nolan's TDK - Interstellar period.
I feel those films will grow in popularity with time, they are flawed but excell in certain areas.
Only MoS is worth the watch
That would be Star Wars (all three are kino).
LOTR was one of the biggest things, I personally would call it the biggest, but it was such a great period for movies that it would be distasteful to say that it was alone. Harry Potter, as another anon mentioned, was INSANE. Star Wars prequels were also ridiculously big regardless of the criticism it got, as it spawned an even bigger merchandise gold rush along with HP with multiple video games and TV series.
Pirates of the Caribbean was also really good, but just not enough to break through a niche like the previous two movies mentioned. You also have things like Jackie Chan movies, Kill Bill, The Incredibles and so on.
>what was the big thing of the 10s?
MCU is the "big thing" of the 10s by a fricking landslide.
On a second thought I think anime as a whole is probably the "big thing" of the 10s as it just became REALLY mainstream even among the biggest normalgays. So I would say that the 10s is the quintessential "normalgays discover geek/weeb things" era with the MCU.
Not for a hundred years will anyone have a childhood better than ours with LOTR/Prequels/Harry Potter.
Not to mention Pokémon, Yugioh, Shrek, the golden years of Pixar, golden years of Nickelodeon and introduction of SpongeBob and ATLA, golden years of Cartoon Network and toonami, golden years of gaming, Bionicles, Digimon, having a childhood in a world without smartphones
>anime became big and-
Kek, i'm 45 and my entire life i've seen people claiming that anime was becoming the next big thing.
In 2060 they'll be saying that this anime thing is gonna be pretty big!
>REALLY mainstream even among the biggest normalgays
DBZ was there since the 90's
Game of Thrones.
and Breaking Bad
Eh, not really
Breaking bad was 00's, now you feel old
It didn't get mega popular until the streaming era.
it was actually Harry Potter for the 00s
There is none. There hasn't been a good movie made since 2006.
what's this board about then
Movies made before 2007.
lol nothing. culture died right before 2012 rolled around. you're living in dead society. didn't you realize?
Probs MCU up until End Game
Nothing produced in the 2010's is even in the same hemisphere as LotR.
MCU up to Endgame was bigger, no doubt.
have a nice day you AIDS-ridden, semen gargling, fudgepacking zoomer homosexual.
Doesn’t matter if it was shit, it was still undeniably more popular than LOTR, which is what this thread is fricking discussing. You have less reading comprehension than the average capeshit enjoyer you so malign. Even before Infinity War you had Avengers 2, Winter Soldier and Civil War
>MCU up to Endgame
This is why nobody takes capeshittards seriously. The MCU was almost all mediocre crap before Infinity War even dropped. Nobody can quote lines from shit like Iron Man 2 or Thor 3.
That's when TV starting getting goof and all the lambs were beeping about things like walking dead and idk what else. I didn't really care. I just remember buying DVDs because the movies were lame and so was tv.
>walking dead
Jesus Christ, I remember when the fanbase and hype for this show was HUGE. People I knew literally had gatherings just to watch it. And most people have forgotten it and fans I knew who claimed they were hardcore fans either completely deny it or claim they don't remember. The only shows that comes this close to decline that I can remember is Heroes. No one wants to admit they fell for the hype of realistic capeshit.
Yeah, the early seasons were insanely popular, especially when the Telltale walking dead game released 2012 jesus christ I'm getting old.
Eh, I'd argue that the show went to shit after Shane died, the prison arc was also nice for a while but it all started to repeat itself after that. So I'd say the show is good for the first three seasons.
Harry Potter was the big thing of the 00s since the movies actually spanned the entire decade - LOTR ended in 2003.
>completely forgets about the mid 00's zombie craze
>mid 00's
Did you forget The Walking Dead?
I treated the Walking dead and Break Bad as a double feature on TV. I remeber those weekend evenings when TV suddenly increased in quality.
Walking dead was trash after the first season tho. First season may have been trash but elevated compared to the rest. Need to revisit
Imagine being happy that you were served star wars prequels as a kid.
There is no big thing, because nothing can stick the landing anymore. Anything that builds up a head of steam inevitably just coughs and dies before it reaches the finishing line
MCU and Zootopia
Rewatched them all.
Beside maybe Harry Potter, I can't think of a "modern" series with such iconic OST.
Also, the Shire alone has more soul than anything combined since 2015
2010s were dominated by YA fantasy/sci-fi adaptations trying to be the next big thing. Also, YA adaptations about teenagers with terminal illnesses (often set in Pittsburgh) were weirdly big for a while.
