Classic Hollywood didn't follow today's business model. Bette Davis, Norma Schearer, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Greer Garson, and Katherine Hepburn were huge box office easily carried many films in their day. Please remember 1939's The Women which had no male actors. I'd rather watch any of their movies than another comic book themed movie.
