Sick and tired of Superhero movies?

Whether Marvel OR DC, I really am sick and tired of all these movies coming out lately, its all thats filling the boards and the movie vs forums.

God forbid a vs thread happens to be between 2 normal humans that aren't Jason Bourne.

Marvel/Disney is too good at the game to say I don't look forward with giddy anticipation to every MCU movie that is released. Feige and co. have earned it.

Fox as of late has been great with X-verse stuff like Deadpool and Logan, so I can't complain about them.

Jury is still out on DCEU.

I am not tired of them. In a way it makes sense that we have all these movies and tv shows now. Since the technology for films has become so advanced...of course we're going to a put a lot of our more fantastical tales on the big or small screen.

IMO they tend to provide a better escape than most other movies and shows do. On top of that there are still plenty of other movies that come out that one can watch if they are not in the mood for super hero films. Comedy, drama, horror, and non-superhero related action films are still made. It is the same with tv shows, there is a lot of non-fantasy stuff to choose from.

Indeed, Marvel has become quite adept at mixing action with interesting stories and characters.

The DCEU has not gotten there yet, but there is too much money to be made and the popularity of these kinds of movies isn't going anywhere anytime soon it seems, so I feel like sooner or later they will get there.

Some of them I will still probably continue to enjoy as long as they stay quality (like Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy). Others are abysmal crap like Doctor Strange and some I have no interest in whatsoever, like Captain America Civil War. But yes, I am getting sick of the superhero formula. It's obnoxious that we've had so many Spiderman reboots in such a short period of time. It's shameless money grubbing because it's a guaranteed massive profit, not to mention merchandising. I've already seen merchandise on the shelves for Justice League, but I will say at least it looks so awful it should be funny...

laughing out loud

The problem is over-saturation of these type of movies and all the "Me too" jumping on the shared universe bandwagon studios

How many shared universes is there?

WB probably has the most with the DCEU, Monster, Conjuring, all of which have been very profitable.

To add and extrapolate onto your list:

- Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm have MCU, Star Wars, and stuff like Once on ABC.
- Fox has X-Men verse and the failed Fant4stic attempt.
- Sony is in league with Disney trying the Spider-Man/Venom route.
- Universal has the Dark Universe and Fast and Furious. Also, it appears the M. Night Shyamalanadingdong universe is taking shape with Split (a very interesting foundation has been set for this one).
- WB has DCEU, The Hobbit/LotR, and Conjuring.

My concerns are two-fold:

- The over-saturation/reboot reboot reboot points that Inhuman and Leech pointed out.
- I remain optimistic along with Surtur that the DCEU continues to find its stride and get to the same quality status as the MCU, and it will somewhat mirror the decades-long comic rivalry: some people are more DC, some people prefer their Marvel, but both companies release quality products.

Nope
I want more funny quips, forgettable villains, and a single studio trying to homogenize it all and make it family friendly

I'n glad to be part of a generation that grew up reading comics & to be able to see their live action versions on the big screen.

My only gripe is that the more I see of The Avengers, the more I'm starting to care less about the storyline, much less the individual characters themselves.

People crying over this is hilarious. I don't give a shit how upset this makes you. It's great for the movie industry and do not see them if this makes you cry at night. The goal of any studio is to make money. Leech is very stupid if he believes otherwise. The reason we don't see an outcry in support of Riddick is because it doesn't make money and isn't popular. Poor leech.

If you don't like comic book/superhero films, then don't watch them.

Simple.

Then don't watch the movies or post in the threads.

You have the ability to start as many topics involving normal humans as you like.
