Not holding my breath for Logan to be any good from the look of things. I'm not sorry they're over at Fox, but I do wish they didn't have control over the rights to the Fantastic Four.

I think DC is the franchise that has more problems with overpowered and unstoppable heroes. Both Hulk and Thor have gone up against foes that whupped on them, in Thor's case the only thing that saved him was Loki's sneakiness when he was fighting that Kurse guy in The Dark World. Captain America got shot all to hell in The Winter Soldier and would have died if Bucky didn't fish him out of the water. Iron Man had to be saved by his girlfriend TWICE at the end of two of his three movies. I don't see the comparison with, say, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Yeh I agree with all that.  The problem with the wolverine films is that wolverine as a character is a cash cow and the film makers are milking those logan udders dry, I mean until dust comes out.

I thought apocalypse was good but didn't like the finality of the ending.

I do think superheroes became overpowered in general.

I'm sure I remember as a kid that hulk was just a guy who got something like gorilla strength, now he's invincible, can basically fly with his leg strength, he can pretty much over power anyone. 

Superman started out as a guy who could just jump high and was pretty strong then became this man who couldn't be destroyed.  

I think it would be good if a whole new kind of franchise came out with characters that were killed and died easy and there were no ultra ultra powerful characters.  Powerful but just not ridiculously powerful.

I disagree but only because I've seen how good a job they can do with shows like Young Justice. Even characters with ridiculously powerful combinations of abilities can still be challenged and need to come together as a team to triumph, although not without sacrifice. But of course we're not likely going to see that in the feature films.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
