The group conducted a survey of 8 people to understand perspectives on superhero films. Most respondents enjoyed the thrilling action scenes and mysteries surrounding superheroes' dual identities. However, some felt films like "Thor" prolonged the action too much. Respondents also wanted future films to be less predictable by changing stereotypes such as the hero always defeating the villain. In general, the audience found superhero films entertaining despite a few aspects they would alter.

Audience Research
We conducted a survey, to find different peoples perspectives of the
superhero genre. Our group asked eight people the following questions:
1. What do you expect to see in a superhero film?
2. What aspects of superhero films do you like?
3. What aspects of superhero films do you dislike
The majority of the audience we asked, enjoyed the pulsating action scenes in
superhero films. They appreciated scenes that keep them on the edge of their
seat; and the audience feel superhero films are a way to witness this type of
drama. Some female audience members, relished the opportunity to see
handsome and physically strong male superhero’s participating in dramatic
scenes. It became apparent that the audience also liked, the mysterious
element surrounding superhero’s who have a duel identity, the way they live
their ‘ordinary’ life and how they undertake their superhero duties. The above
is also what the audience expect to see, therefore, it is interesting to see that
the audience enjoy the typical conventions associated with a superhero movie;
hence why the film producers are reluctant to change the style as it already
appeals to a wide target audience. They also relished the thrill and excitement
linked to a super hero’s super powers; which eventually in most films of this
genre defeat the villain
The audience felt that some superhero films such as ‘Thor’ prolongs the
action scenes, and this frustrates the target audience as they would like to see
action from the outset. They also feel future films of this genre, should attempt
to steer away from stereotypes such as the superhero always defeating the
villain, as they feel this makes the film predictable and something of a
monotony.

In conclusion, apart from a few minor alterations, the audience are
entertained by superhero films. We avoided gender bias, by asking the same
number of people from each gender; in order to obtain a more substantial and
plausible research.
