Superhero Fatigue

Does not exist. If anything, I have fatigue of this term.

It’s a buzzword excuse people and studios use to deflect from the real cause: poor scripts and uninteresting stories about characters people don’t have a reason to care about. In short, bad projects that happen to be about superheroes. There are so many viewing options and streaming services now, audiences have no reason to turn out for theaters for poor films. This is what the fatigue is, and it is fixable.

Make good movies of interest and people will always watch them. NWH, The Batman, BP2, GotG3, and even MoM all did well in recent years since Endgame.

Any wonder that the CBMs with critical and audience acclaim continue to make bank? Deadpool and Wolverine just became the most viewed trailer ever, and if the film is as good as its potential, it will likely cross $1B in 2024. The superhero genre is clearly still thriving, we just want good movies and shows. That’s all.
