Part 8/14:

A core discussion point is superhero fatigue—whether audiences are genuinely tired of comic-book movies or just disillusioned by Hollywood’s repetitive, politicized offerings. They compare current entries like Superman, Marvel’s "Captain America: Brave New World," and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," noting large international and domestic disparities, declining box office numbers, and the consequences of over-saturation.

They argue that superhero movies have become a “genre within a genre,” losing variety, innovation, and emotional depth. Marvel’s reliance on shared universe building and predictable tropes has led to diminishing returns, with even big hits like "Deadpool" and "Spider-Man" being exceptions rather than the rule.
