The Real Reason You’re Tired of Superheroes (It’s Not Marvel)

Is "superhero fatigue" finally here? Everyone is talking about Marvel's recent box office struggles, but blaining the MCU alone misses the bigger picture. Today, we dive deep into why audiences are truly feeling burnt out on capes and cowls. It’s easy to point fingers at recent Marvel Phases, but the issue goes much deeper than just one studio. While the MCU's rapid expansion on Disney+ has certainly contributed to the noise, they aren't the only ones saturation the market. In this video essay, we analyze the state of the entire comic book movie landscape. We'll discuss the disjointed history of the DCEU (and the pressure on James Gunn's new DCU), Sony's confusing live-action Spider-Verse offshoots like Madame Web and Morbius, and the sheer volume of streaming content from Amazon's The Boys to Invincible. We are asking the hard questions: Is it a quantity problem, a quality problem, or is the standard superhero formula itself finally broken across the entire film industry? 👇 Are you feeling the fatigue? Or do you just want better movies regardless of the genre? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
