Happy Spider-Man Day
Considering it happened with every other popular genre before, it's gonna happen sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.
Honestly I'm super down for new animated shows if they're of the same quality as Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes or the DCAU, I'm just sick of this cinematic universe ****
stuff like Mario and Pokémon are still doing quite fine tbf. Then when it comes to more cinematic stuff, Star Wars. Sure episodes 8 and 9…and Solo…weren’t there best of movies, but everything else surrounding it were pure yesness
While that is fairly true. The MCU is what kickstarted the superhero genre to the popularity where its at now.
And as mentioned. The problem isn't "superhero fatigue" but more "MCU fatigue" given the formula its stuck to rather then trying different ones for each of their movies.
moreso the MCU as a whole kicked it into maximum overdrive, but movies like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Dark Knight is what really kickstarted it tbh. And sure the “MCU fatigue” thing can be thrown in for the vocals, but it’s not big enough to stop the amount of hype people still got over Phases 5 and 6 being unveiled.
tho MCU aside, and beyond both Marvel and DC tbh, the superhero genre as a whole continues to continue expanding their success. Be it through properties like TMNT, My Hero Academia, Invincible, and The Boys (and the Great Saiyaman obviously), it may honestly be hard to truly kill it for the overall public or to truly get tired of the genre without liking one of the projects.
Edit: oh god more words…man I’m finna need to stop
