I don't understand what this has to do with Marvel.

We have a greater variety of films being made every year than ever before, because we have more and more films from more and more places being produced. Yeah, they're not all big-budget, but as you mentioned a return to the indie, the budget shouldn't matter too you. VMarvel (and superhero movies in general) have only reached an over saturation point if they dominate your personal viewing. They're not making more marvel movies now than the big studios (and foreign studios) were making and marketing biblical epics in the 50s and 60s. Seeing 3 to 4 superhero movies a year is great for me--I enjoy the simple thrills they provide, even when they suck--but I'm also going to see many, many other films.

If anything, superhero movies have displaced some of the popcorn action movies we (old people) used to go see in the 80's or 90's. In a lot of ways, that's a good thing. Watching another Thor or Guardians movie sounds better than the memories of spending lawnmowing money on the latest Steven Segal flic, only to experience the cringe feeling of trying to decide if I could walk out 30 minutes in even though I already payed for it.

And if some studio exec has to consider opening another Terminator reboot against a 2nd or 3rd tier Marvel title that will kill at the box office, all the better.
