Underappreciated 80’s Superhero Movies That Deserve Recognition!

December 1, 2020 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents ten underappreciated superhero flicks from the 80s…

The modern-day superhero movie may have begun with 2000’s X-Men, but it was hardly the first time we saw consistent production in the field. Yes, everyone knows about the many Superman and Batman movies produced in the 70s, 80s and 90s, but how many know about The Toxic Avenger?

There were plenty more flicks like that that sought to take advantage of the comic book medium. And while they may not have hit mainstream success, they absolutely are worth your time. Need some help picking out recommendations? Well, the folks at Marvelous Videos already got you covered! Check out their video on underappreciated 80s superhero movies here…
