re: Are superhero movies finally wearing out their welcome?

Even though I wish they would mostly go the way of the DoDo, they are still pound-for-pound the most reliable and profitable genre of film in the world(I guess besides James Cameron films, but he's a once-a-decade guy).

They just are no longer at their apex.

Thor, MoM, Black Panther, all still made money. Ant-Man probably breaks even. DC universe is mostly shite, no change there.

The moment a new Batman or Spiderman, or the inevitable Xmen Reboot bombs, I'll buy the "stick a knife in them" rhetoric, until then, they will continue to be the largest genre of blockbuster releases in Hollywood annually.
