I lump superhero movies into the pile of exhausting prequels/sequels/reboots that seem to be 50% of all movies made. 11 of the top 15 movies at the box office last year were prequels/sequels/reboots.

And there are more than 4 superhero movies coming out next year.

I guess you better strap in and brace yourself, because more of the same is coming. You're one of those, "frick everyone else, I want what I want." people.

And again, I have a hard time understanding what people like you want and what you're "not getting" out of Hollywood. So because superhero movies and sequels get made, nothing else gets made? How would Hollywood stay in business if they make movies that people don't pay to see? Do you understand that these movies that make money give profits to the studio and allow them to take more risks and make some of the movies that you may enjoy? You should be happy that the business is doing well instead of bitching and requesting that they make moves that will put them out of business.

You're fighting an unwinnable battle. You can't change the mind of the masses.

In 1995, 10 of the Top 17 films were prequels, sequels, reboots or movies coming from another medium.

That's not a HUGE jump.

Not only that, see here:

2014 saw 200 more films released than 2005. 200 more films. Are they releasing 200 Superhero movies? No. We're getting more films, not less. And Superhero movies make up a far smaller percentage of films than they used to.

I do agree that
