+120 "Superhero fatigue" isn't real, amirite?

by Anonymous 11 months ago

What's up with people saying things aren't real. Who have you polled. Mate things are real if they exist. The fact that you're even talking about it is evidence of that. Superhero movies suck. We want 90s movies again. Leave people alone. This isn't a take. It's just nagging.

>When in the hands of a capable writer, we can see this genre and its endless potential truly shine. It can be, but right now it isn't. Like you correctly said, those movies that keep coming out have less and less quality, so... "superhero fatigue". It would not have existed if the movies were good.

I think more than superhero fatigue, the MCU's problem is that it's beginning to suffocate under the weight of its own continuity. We have over 30 movies, and more than a half-dozen TV shows (and it's way more if you count stuff like the Netflix shows, Agent Carter, etc). All of that continuity closes off creative directions for future projects, it's it's only going to grow ever more constricting.

Depends. For you it might not be. I've been over it since that last Thanos movie. It just doesn't seem like the quality matters anymore just the fixation on quantity.

Disney taking over MCU. That's where the problem is

Agreed, it's a misleading term and doesn't point out what's really messing up the Marvel reputation.

For me it's just Disney fatigue, but I was never a huge fan in the first place. It seems like Disney is taking over more and more of the market, and all their movies are formulaic and dry. They don't take any chances, and never would think of making anything that may not be accessible to a 6 year old. I'd much rather there be 10 movies on a $50M budget that take chances and try to do something different, than one $500M budget movie that is a boring safe bet for the producers.

What you described is superhero fatigue. Nobody is tired of superhero and IP movies. People are tired of same formatted ones being pumped out and fed to the masses. Production companies know that they can release a mediocre superhero or IP film and that a large portion of people will still consume it, even those experiencing superhero fatigue. I'm a huge fan of comics and fiction, and I loved GOTG 3, but I'm still experiencing superhero fatigue. Movies like the OG spiderman, iron man 1, captain America winter soldier, the suicide squad, GOTG, and Logan, are too far in between. For every amazing film like GOTG 3, you'll have horrible releases of quantamania, love and thunder, WW1984, and you'll have watchable but not good releases like black Adam, multiverse of madness, and eternals, and good but not groundbreaking films like Shang chi and wakanda forever.

It's just a coverup phrase because people don't want to admit everything past Winter Soldier was dog water.

It exists in the sense that people are tired of having to watch everything that connects to another thing.

So true just that people just want to hate comics secretly

Agreed. It's a term that people who have always hated into the intrusion of superhero media into the mainstream have parroted endlessly to try to trick everyone else into thinking that everyone's tired of superhero movies when they're not. There has been a little bit of a slowdown in quality lately, but the term was being thrown around way before people started getting even slightly tired of superhero movies. I found an article using the term from 2011, in other words before the first Avengers movie ever came out.
