Last Week Tonight with John Oliver airs Sundays at 11PM EST on HBO.
It’s interesting to note that Oliver doesn’t mention Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse or the upcoming Marvel Studios release, Doctor Strange.
That’s not to say Oliver’s Johnny Strong character doesn’t have some merit or the possibility of landing in Hollywood.
Regardless, Oliver’s problem with superhero movies isn’t with the sub-genre itself, but rather, the type of superhero Hollywood has been quick to adapt.
