We're in the Golden Age of Superhero Movies! But it all began in the 1980's... Check out the Letterboxd List: letterboxd.com... FOLLOW US! IG: @eightiesemporium TW: @80semporium FB: @80semporium #80semporium #eightiesemporium
I grew up in the eighties and I've seen a lot of these, I've watched a few of your videos and probably haven't commented enough on how nostalgic and heart-warming they are. Although there are several better movies in your list, Condorman is one that I have a soft spot for.
What a cool little video, I barely remember the 80's but this was a wonderful trip down memory lane with some detailed insights on movies I haven't even heard of, lovely stuff
Sheena and The Return of Captain Invincible stirred some long dormant memories. Condorman deserves more love, not even available on Disney+ Blade is on the 80s superhero list too.
Good video but if you're going to mention TV shows, you forgot Misfits of Science! And a few opinions of mine (just opinions): 1) Supergirl was at least as good as Superman IV and should be as well known. 2) Dolph Lundgren's Punisher was actually pretty decent from what I remember. I remember it being on cable in the late '80's or real early '90's. 3) I LOVE Flash Gordon! That being said, I consider it more Sci-Fi like Buck Rogers than a Superhero movie. 4) I don't whine or criticize MOST Marvel or DC movies today because all I really had in the late '80's were the excellent Batman (over and over and over again) or the made-for-TV Incredible Hulk movies. The exception is X-Men: Dark Phoenix. That story didn't work as a subplot in X-Men: The Last Stand and making it into an entire movie is an insult to the CLASSIC Claremont/Byrne story arc. I know that changes need to be made to stories for films but that movie was just a huge mess. I did like most of the acting, though, but I'm usually easy to please.
Flash Gordon is a superhero? I guess the rationale must be that he was in a comic book, but does that make someone a superhero? I hadn't thought of Robocop as a superhero, but I'll buy that one.
Iconic? What is the standard for that label? Pal, you need to take an English class. This is a fun video but you got to try a dictionary. 🙄 Plus, Tim Burton’s Batman movie did not send Batman on its way to being one of the most “iconic” superheroes…it was well established decades earlier in comics, toys and tv. 🙄🙄 # bornyesterday
Its very well known that Batmans popularity was at an all-time low following the Batman tv show. You have never heard anyone say that? And you are some kind of Batman expert are you?
If yo8 are going t mention the Superman movie from the 70s then why not the Spiderman movie from 1977? It was the first movie I watched on our video player.
