Reply to comment by Stuckinthevortex in What do you think is the dominant genre in TV/cinema today (especially for young adults) ? by MarignanVZ

That's true, and maybe I'm wrong, but I also perceive some kind of weariness surrounding this genre. People used to be hyped for Avengers. Was anyone really hyped for Thor 4 ?

Thor 4 made more money than the previous Thor. In fact, the last three Marvel films were all sequels that made more money than the previous one in their series. Marvel just hasn't had a huge Avengers scale film in a few years but everything they make is incredibly popular and no sign of any decline at all. Black Panther 2 is about to make like 2 billion dollars.

People have been claiming superhero films are in decline for near a decade now. They've been wrong every time,

That's not entirely accurate, Thor 3 made more money globally than Thor 4

But 4 was not released in China and Russia unlike 3, so if we ignore those 2 countries, Thor 4 made more money

Thor 4 was a sloppy mess with pacing issues. It made money, but the quality? In decline for quite a while. And look at the TV shows.

Money made really shouldn't matter when discussing the quality of media.

Yeah, I was, but it just sucked. It's like every character in the MCU is just a bad caricature of a human being now. She Hulk had some funny jokes but besides Thor almost every character on that show is a great example of this. The Thor character is the worst though. It's like watching Simple Jack as a God

I tend to agree with 'superheros fatigue', but one thing you have to keep in mind is for every 18 to 20 - ish year old who ages out of the genre, there is also a 8 - 12 year old aging into it.
