Oh my god I cannot wait to see them fail spectacularly. People are sick of the MCU capeslop already. What in the world makes them think people want more??
Superman was pretty good. If im sick of anything its the MCU. Which is usually OK but its really tapered off from the middle of phase 1. Fantastic 4 and Thunderbolts I enjoyed too but I havent been putting energy into watching whatever else has come out. I kinda lost my interest when they pivoted away from Kang.
I like superheros movies. Ill probably go see this one. I dont ONLY like superhero movies and really can’t buy in for another shared epic. Id like something original. Or at least remade from 50 years or more ago.
Superman hero movies are this generation bond film. You know what you’re getting when you walk in. You’re just there for the ride.
My complaint with superhero movies is the same complaint I have with games that have in-game stores with cosmetics but no pay to win stuff. It’s a creativity vampire that crowds out actual content since the goal becomes selling skins and emotes through the shop, so most of the budget goes towards making skins and emotes… And structuring the gameplay, battle passes (🤮), and so on around making money through the shop.
Sure, it doesn’t affect the actual gameplay directly through pay to win, but it certainly affects it due to incentives… Star citizen is a prime example.
Superhero movies have done the same thing. They’re the safe bet so now everything is a superhero movie and any other idea is more risky with less profit potential so it gets cut…
At the beginning of the MCU the biggest movies were the Michael Bay Transformers films. Superhero movies didn’t kill creativity in film. That was already dead. They just stepped into the void that was left behind.
We’ve had capeslop movies for more than a decade now, nearly 2 decades. An entire generation of humans where the biggest thing in theaters is capeslop movie #1173
I also remember it taking years and years for MCU to build up. Avengers didn’t happen until 4 years after Ironman, and there were still great movies being released.
I guess this is pointing at the death of Hollywood from different directions, especially now with streaming services. It’s really unfortunate since foreign films prove that it’s still possible to create incredible movies. It’s just Hollywood wants more growth… The same amount of profit is failure…

Superman was not a superhero film, it was a manifesto.
Can you elaborate?
