these superhero movies more than saved
the day welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten superhero movies that
changed everything
call it count all right listen up before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re taking a
look at movies that change the superhero
genre as we know it and in some cases
impacted the entire film industry and
that’s exactly what this is a love story
and to tell it right I gotta take you
back to long before I squeezed this ass
into red spandex number 10 Wonder Woman
but I’m willing to fight for those who
cannot fight for themselves it’s weird
to think that Supergirl Electra and
Catwoman Olga
live-action solo movies long before
Wonder Woman the most iconic heroine of
all time but while Wonder Woman wasn’t
the first female led superhero movie it
was the first to achieve massive
widespread success it was also the first
studio superhero movie to be helped by a
female director patty Jenkins and it not
only received overwhelming critical
acclaim but also crushed several box
office milestones considering the
superhero movies typically restrict
women to love interests and supporting
roles gal gadot it’s spot-on portrayal
of Wonder Woman stood out as a beacon of
female empowerment in the name of all
that is good in this world I hereby
complete the mission of the Amazon
by ridding this world of you number nine
Deadpool oh oh hello while there have
been several r-rated superhero movies
already most of them were only modest
financial success is at best I’m
touching myself tonight considering that
the x-men franchise had always played it
safe with a pg-13 rating it seems highly
unlikely Fox would ever allow Deadpool
to take the r-rated route especially
after that Wolverine movie when the
studio finally gave the film the
greenlight however their gamble paid off
in a big way this ultra violent
profanity-laced golden globe-nominated
film made over ten times its 58th
million dollar budget becoming the
highest-grossing x-men movie ever that’s
uh
2750 I never carry wallet while I’m
working
ruins the lines in my suit suddenly
Hollywood was much more open to the idea
of producing adult superhero flicks such
as the oscar-nominated Logan number
eight black panther own fries I never
faced before T’Challa appeared in
Captain America Civil War the MCU had
already introduced black superheroes
such as Falcon and war machine whereas
those characters were limited to
sidekick roles however Black Panther
earned leading man status in 2018
equally inspiring the film was helped by
an african-american director and boasted
an almost entirely black cast what
happens now determines what happens
to the rest of the West black panther
went above and beyond simply being a
cool flick utilizing its complex
characters and fictional African setting
to tackle timely world issues in an era
overrun with race rides whitewashing and
travel bans this record-breaking
blockbuster spoke to a wide range of
audiences conveying a relevant and
important message about unity number 7
blade did bite off 20 years before the
king of Wakanda got his own movie this
cult classic ditch shined the spotlight
on another black superhero but the race
of its protagonists aside blade is
particularly significant for finally
doing a Marvel character justice up
until this point
Marvel Comics hadn’t exactly translated
well to the big screen Howard the Duck
was a bomb Captain America barely got a
theatrical release and Roger Corman’s
Fantastic Four movie was never even
officially released blade ended Marvel’s
losing streak with stylish visuals
thrilling action and pitch perfect
casting and following Batman and Robin
and steel blade also reminded audiences
that superhero movies could still be
dark sophisticated and badass worse
things out tonight than vampires
like me number six the Dark Knight I
know why you’re afraid to go out at
night the Batman with Batman Begins
director Christopher Nolan brought the
Caped Crusader back to his dark roots at
the same time he created a more
pragmatic version of Batman who could
seemingly exist in the real world
Batman Nolan upped the ante with the
universally acclaimed The Dark Knight he
turns to me and he says why so serious
some Heath Ledger’s oscar-winning
performances that Joker in particular
set a new standard for supervillains
combining the colorful nature of a
comic-book character with the gritty
realism of a terrorist
I believe whatever doesn’t kill you
simply makes you turn while many other
superhero movies have mimicked the Dark
Knight if you have proven as smart
challenging or groundbreaking
he’s a silent Guardian a watchful
protector
but Dark Knight number five Batman ever
danced with the devil in the pale
moonlight as revolutionaries The Dark
Knight trilogy was Warner Brothers
probably wouldn’t have taken a chance on
Nolan’s vision if Tim Burton hadn’t
already set the stage outside of the
comics Batman had been developing a
notoriously can’t be reputation over the
years superhero movies in general
weren’t all that common and they rarely
veered into dark territory
Batman changed everything with gothic
production design and a story that
treated its audience like adults
what’s more Burton delved into Bruce
Wayne’s tortured psyche exploring what
motivates a man to dress up as a bat and
fight crime for the longest time it
wasn’t just the definitive Batman movie
but these superhero movie to be all
others are you
I’m Batman number four the Avengers what
have I to fear the Avengers by 2012
crossovers were nothing new but none
were more ambitious than this mega
moneymaker over the course of five
blockbuster movies Marvel had
established numerous heroes who could be
connected in a shared cinematic universe
byron man The Hulk Captain America Thor
Black Widow and Hawkeye all finally
crossed paths in The Avengers at the
time doing a crossover of this magnitude
was virtually unheard of Marvel pulled
it off however with an event picture
unlike any other DC would get on the
crossover bandwagon soon after with
their extended universe
The Avengers didn’t just impact the
superhero genre every major studio wants
to cash in on the shared cinematic
universe trend now is this the first
time you lost a soldier we are not
soldiers number 3
Ironman my turn when Nick Fury appeared
at the end of Iron Man comic book fans
could tell that a floodgate of
possibilities was about to open I’m here
to talk to you about the Avenger an
issue we most likely wouldn’t have
gotten the Avengers if this film hadn’t
kicked off the MCU in such a stellar
fashion while Iron Man was not an
obscure character by any means Tony
Stark wasn’t a household name before
2008 let’s face it this is not the worst
thing you’ve got me doing that all
changed thanks to Robert Downey jr. is
charismatic comeback performance and
director Jon Favreau’s energetic
direction the MCU has stood out from all
the other cinematic universes because
it’s taken the time and care to flesh
out its characters Iron Man provided the
formula for success I am Iron Man
number two Superman easy miss I’ve got
you who’s got you back in 1978 comic
books were generally viewed as kid stuff
with this take on Superman director
Richard Donner set out to make audiences
truly believe that a man well sort of
can fly more importantly he aspired to
show audiences just how fun romantic and
poignant a superhero movie can be
Superman felt like the first superhero
movie to really analyze what it means to
be a hero excuse me while it wasn’t
afraid to inject in a few humorous even
corny moments the film also depicted
Superman’s origin story with Wonder and
gravitas Superman wasn’t just a role
model but somebody we could identify
with it’s the human touch that made this
film
a game-changer there must be a reason
for you to be here yes I’m here to fight
for truth and justice and the American
Way
number one x-men mucus out there with
incredible powers Logan and many who do
not share my respect for mankind many
people point to Sam Raimi’s original
spider-man as the film that launched the
modern Renaissance of superhero movies
while the blockbuster certainly has its
place in history it was x-men that paved
the way for everything that followed
after enduring a series of ups and downs
the superhero genre needed a big
critical hit and commercial success in
the year 2000 the truth is that mutants
are very real x-men answered the call
with select style a well-rounded
ensemble meaningful themes and a clear
understanding of the source material
since then we’ve gotten better superhero
movies and even better x-men movies none
of them would exist though if this film
hadn’t laid out an essential blueprint
more powerful mutants out there why
should this one we’re so important to it
