Likewise, I think audiences would like to believe a demi-god alien can crash to Earth, a super soldier clad in stars-and-stripes can survive being frozen for 70 years and that a Hulk can smash. A little magic and a fantastical adventure is as good for the geek as it is for the muggle; perhaps it is no coincidence that the last biggest opening weekend record holder was another magical adventure: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2."

Hollywood should listen to the geeks more often -- if only to ensure the superhero genre continues to go up, up and away in quality and box office receipts.
