Over-saturating the Superhero genre

They already have oversaturated it. There have been 22 Marvel movies since 2008. And those are just Marvel movies.

100%

With all the Marvel tv shows set for Disney + and new movies it's way too much.

Young people seem to like them and they are profitable.

I'm a huge ComicBook fan but there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. I guess part of me is just afraid that they'll make people sick of the genre. Some people are already sick of seeing & hearing about Superhero content

Its nice to see an actual superhero fan recognise this.
I gave up on it years ago , Spiderman 2 i think.
Although did go back to watch "dredd" to test out the 3d - that s pretty good!

I know you dont wanna hear but i hope they actually do "implode" under the weight of their own costumes!

for some of us, there's no such thing as too much.

even when they're kinda undeniably terrible, i love cbms, and i will continue to inhale them as long as they're produced.

i'm a bit indifferent to the series (though i loved the first few episodes of wandavision), but i'll watch them. i'll always prefer the controlled structure of a movie over a series every time.

half of netflix offerings involve some element of overt fantasy, whether supernatural or over-the-top stuff.

i started a thread somewhat on this topic awhile back - the juvenilization of America Culture.

if you are older, like I am, you seen the trend and likely find it off-putting, in the excess.

super-hero movies have no appeal to me at all - if they were infrequent, i would perhaps find them entertaining.

I think the market was oversaturated already and then Covid hit and there was a much needed break. So I expect it to get back to the pre-covid levels next year. These films will continue until they are no longer making massive amounts of money. I do think some of them are quite formulaic and boring. Every once in a while there is a really good one though. It will be interesting to see what happens next with the MCU. They have played their big cards and wrapped up the long story so we'll see if they can maintain the continued success at the box office. The purchase of the X-Men will give them a much needed new cast of popular characters. Meanwhile DC is rebooting Superman and Batman again.

Personally, I would much prefer a series as to a film as you can expand the characters and world. I really enjoyed the adult oriented Marvel series on Netflix, especially DareDevil and Jessica Jones. I think a series with Batman would be great instead of having multiple shows around Batman that just exclude him lol. I would even prefer that to a film.

Indeed. I, too, am/was a comic book fan. I would watch every single capeshit movie that came along. Now the frequency coupled with the drop in quality make me miss at least half of them. I am only looking forward to Dr Strange 2, Black Adam, and Loki. Probably will not see any others (although I didn't think I'd watch Wandavision and ended up watching and liking it).

They are wringing all the cash that they can from the genre. For them, there is no "over saturation;" only a well that is still pumping.
