Why is nobody making epics anymore?

Why is nobody making epics anymore?

You didn't see Prometheus?

They did one recently, it was called Batman v Superman

>muh mighty whitey

Kill yourself cisshit.

Because after Benioff's Troy failure at the box office Hollywood is scared of losing money.

more like epic fails, amirite? XD

Derek Walcott published Omeros in 1990. That's not THAT long ago.

>Alexander the Great
>Troy
>Kingdom of Heaven

all shit. all box office flops.

hollywood likes to make money, not lose it.

Because everyone's watching capeshit

Did YOU see prometheus?!

Exodus was bretty epic.
also shit.

Because they suck

Troy flopped in the United States. But it's worldwide takings made it one of the highest grossing films of its time.

Also Troy is good, and only plebs disagree.

Kingdom of Heaven was fucking awesome.

the theatrical version wasnt. caused it to bomb hard.

What the fuck is a "bioscoop"?

Cinema in dutch

because the few epics they do make are about stupid shit instead of sticking to Rome so they flop.

People are too jaded for epics

probably cinemascope.

Prometheus was the last one.

The problem with these types of films are, they're too intelligent, people either want quips or the film to pander to their political ideologies (Sup Forumstards/SJWs) so these types of films won't be as successful

America isnt taught world history above babby level so there is no interest in the Epics anymore.

>they're too intelligent
>Prometheus

come on

>tfw no epic on the Xenophon's 10 000 thousand expedition across the Persian Empire
>tfw no epic of based leadership and based greeks ,surviving and eluding the vastly outnumbering persians

> CGI all the way
> epic

pick one.

a million CGI soldiers copy and pasted is not "epic" you plebs.

Will he revive them after his Viking epic beats AVATAR tenfold?

You mean GOOD epics.

why spend more money and make less
when you can spend less and make more money?

What do you even call an epic?

WE
WAZ
ARABS

*HIDES LISP*

They're still getting made, though

That movie ends when Hector dies.

Your DVD might be broken m8. It ends with them burning Achilles body and Odysseus says he lived in the time of Achilles.

>Will he revive them after his Viking epic beats AVATAR tenfold?

Probably, he's a competent director and I bet his Viking movie will be even better than Braveheart.

I would love to see Mel Gibson portray Constantine XI in the fall of Constantinople to be honest, he's how I kind of imagined him to look in real life.

Plot twist, Odysseus gets lost on his way home

This was a work of art.

They got replaced by Hella f*ckin' epics.

It's been like a year or two since Scott's Exodus.

>Who is Paul Thomad Anderson?

>Troy
Compared to cgi fests like 300, I think we need a return to practical sets and hiring more background extras

i don't know but it sounds delicious

More like really expensive to make and not guaranteed to make back money like a superhero film.

Because that epic sucked balls.

Fucking kill yourself with your shit taste.

Apocalypto is one of the best films ever made.

aint no one got time for no fucking 4 hour movie nigga

>Apocalypto was 20 years ago

What is The Dark Knight Rises.

tfw Cuckoldino wasted 70mm Kodak Vision3 Motion Picture film on bullshit flick set 90% in the cabin.

FUCK.

truth hurt?

Yeah the directiors cut. Which is almost twice as long as the theatrical cut.

>Braveheart was 37 years ago

>"NO PRISONERS!!!"
>they expect one of us in the wreckage brother

Like poetry.

Red Cliff was awesome.
Kingdom of War (aka Prince Naresuan) was awesome.
The Emperor And The Assassin was awesome.

It's not so much that "nobody making epics anymore," as that "Hollywood is shit anymore" and you have to look elsewhere for epic films.

This movie was great. Why did everyone pretend to hate it?

What is "The Warriors" Alex?

what are you talking about? Every single transformers is an epic narrative.

They've started making hella epic movies instead.

Because it was an idiotic piece of shit?

How? Elaborate pls

Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan

>widescreen camera
>cabin

Yeah...

because they cant make one that fools everyone now.
No one gives a fuck about some low tier bullshit magic. We have seen much more impressive movie magic beyond the tame displays in the bible.

No conception of Judaism (it's the Old Testament, you ain't getting away from it), no understanding of majesty, no understanding of politics, an idiotic insert of Yahweh as a little boy, Moses as an insurrectionist Bin Ladin, no Aaron to speak for the stammering Moses...

If boring nerd shit like that triggers you, I don't see how you can sit trought any movie at all.

It's similar to kino

Because Lawrence of Arabia almost bankrupted Columbia. The same happened to MGM with Doctor Zhivago. After that, it became increasingly difficult to make big, epic event movies, until Titanic came by and Hollywood opened to the idea once more.

Capeshit are the new epics

I guess they just didn't sticky with modern audiences.

I understood that reference.

>Mel Gibson portray Constantine XI in the fall of Constantinople

Hollywood are shitting out epics now more than ever. It's just that they are mostly crap movies made for low class idiots and not self respecting adults of the 60s.

None of his films could be considered an epic, user.

No it wasn't

I fucking loved it when armies were involved in making movies.

I might be wrong here, but i wouldnt consider films that were filmed entirely in a 10x10 meter room covered in green.

It had white people in it, and now it's cool to hate on white people.

Why is nobody making ebins anymore

So can anime movies not be epics now either because they were drawn with pen and paper? You retard

Animated movies cannot be epics.

As i said, might be wrong.

grandpa you can't live in the past like that
