The idea of "superhero fatigue" or "sequel fatigue" is huge cope. 99.9999999% of audiences are subhuman retards who'd shit themselves in excitement at a 2 hour sideshow of Marvel characters. Marvel, Disney, etc. are NOT "out of touch", they are extremely in TOUCH with genuinely slop loving audiences.

The overwhelming majority of film goers today would consider even something like the original Terminator "too artsy" for their tastes. Studios do NOT "force" slop on audiences. They just actually enjoy slop.

I wrote some long post about superhero comics months ago that I can't bother repeating
But all those "what if's" about the US comics industry, what if the Comics Code Authority wasn't a thing, what if EC and a lot of crime and horror comics weren't killed off, what if [something copying Japan], what if this or that
None of that matters. War and horror comics, anthologies, romance comics, funny animals etc all still went on for decades and got supported by the bigger publishers. Marvel practically introduced a generation to Conan and probably directly influenced the modern imagination of him in fur loincloths. There was a boom in indie comics in the 80's, black and white the way weebs wanted it.
Superheroes still won. The American consumer chose what they wanted. Anyways call me a manchild for thinking about this.

>Superheroes still won. The American consumer chose what they wanted
? thats exactly what op is saying

Oppenheimer is the 'upper end' of current popular cinema which really says all you need to know about what'll be stomached

>>677825
Am I not allowed to add to OP's thoughts with my own even if we already agree? God forbid a uygha ponders a bit

This OP sounds like a typical pretentious pseudo intellectual.

>>677837
Bruh. There are thousands of critique videos/essays whining about any and every popular movie out there.
If I had a dollar for every time I had to hear someone with the same sentiment as yours, it would be enough to pay out ten student loans

>>677818
>99.9999999% of audiences
Analytics are the issue. Studios didn't get to know the bare minimum effort needed to be successful until the core web formed and made that information trivial to collect.

The imminent decay of the core web could mean the bar is fuzzier and thus directors and writers may be allowed to get more experimental.

>The imminent decay of the core web could mean the bar is fuzzier and thus directors and writers may be allowed to get more experimental.

People are never satisfied.
Anytime studios get experimental, they're accused of being tryhards

>>677848
That just means I wasted my life writing imageboard posts when I could've have a popping youtube essay channel in the past ten years
but I don't like editing videos or speaking

I'm friends with a lot of new gen film students and almost every one when prompted said they just watch movies for entertainment and nothing more. Never to learn anything and I clarified several times. People don't even engage with the content or message.

It's why retards whose brains were fried by short form content prefer the new Blade Runner to the original, or fall asleep during the Godfather, or can't watch The Wire, etc. They're also entertaining of course but the average idiot who adds to TV ratings/box office revenues is only engaging with the most surface level aspects of what they're watching. The type of people to complain about not relating to the characters of Anna Karenina.

The whole industry is like some human centipede thing now.

Movies are longer than ever with less to say. I miss the days of a tight 90 minutes.

I like superhero stuff selectively and this thread will not deter me from enjoying it

>everyone is a le sheeple expect for me
back to r9k

>>677825
OP is just thinks there better than everyone else and that us stoopid normies hate them for it. fairly common fox and the sour grapes approach to life and socialization in some imageboard users unfortunately where you cope with lack of social life by posting shit abt redditors and funko pops


>>678234
Bruh even the oldgen film students were probably like this. In fact, when the movie industry startes, most films were fifty minutes at the longest. Have you ever looked up the time length of old movies?
A lot of the old movies were also terriblly cliche


>>678978
Yep
Funnily enough, a lot of these anti normies like >>677818 and >>678234 are probably not good at life skills.
Like cooking, cleaning, filing taxes, or changing car tires

>>678978
>>678999
lmao what a bunch of worthless posts saying literally nothing except buzzwords. if you dont even know about some field then dont pretend to be in the know

>fox and the sour grapes approach to life

LOL you dont even understand what this means retard

>>677818
haven't marvel movies been suffering declining viewer numbers tho?

yes people have a big appetite for slop but that doesn't mean studios dont also play their part in forcing it

>if you don't enjoy that each blockbuster film is now written by like 20 different people including AI assistants and executes then you are a virgin (??)
Annoying pseuds.

>>679299

>they still think they're better than there peers cuz they watch slightly different hollywood movies
>but I consoom smart media not 4 dumbdumbs
naive Holden Caulfield mindset NGMI

Superman is the actual test to see if fatigue is real or not tbh, gunn has to pull some magic there to prove quality > quantity

>>679526
idk gunns films are actually good or at least refreshing unless thats what you meant by real test

>the defensive replies itt
if audiences werent retarded they would simply not go to these movies then

I have chronic wakeness fatigue that always sets in after ~17 hours of wakefulness.


There’s nothing inherently wrong with the superhero genre

>>682427
its just a coincidence that almost all of it is slop

>>682433
go watch your pretentious art house where people don't say anything for 5 whole minutes

>>682436
attention span obliterated

>>682436
I love those retarded tiktok memes you're stealing the punchline from when the reality is more like this.

People on film buff social media:
>yeah, I know, I put Dog Star Man in my top 10 experimental films - I'm so normie I'm sorry

People IRL:
>the original Terminator? no, sorry, I don't watch old, slow movies like that

>>682436
>people don't say anything for 5 whole minutes
oof

>>682436
>>682468
"Anime Bros" when you say your favorite anime is Demon Slayer and not an experimental slice of life science fiction show about a school club looping the same summer for 8 episodes straight

File: 1751034514379.png (14.33 KB, 128x85, 1662895017696.png)

Pretentious film bros when you say your favorite movie is Avengers Endgame and not a three hour foreign (thinks for a second, backspaces) four hour Japanese film (backspaces a bunch again) 6 hour Romanian film about the death of the village cow

>>682478
>6 hour Romanian film about the death of the village cow
I'd watch that.

Also Infinity War was better.

>>682437
>Thinks that pretentious art films are all long and dense with meaning that require an attention span

>>682477
>Implying that shonen anime isn't repetitive like slice-of-life anime

>>682507
>pretentious
in 85% of cases anyone using this word is actually retarded

>>682535
The people who overuse the word "retarded" to patronise those with differing opinions are usually pretentious

>>682543
retards when people use insults to insult: erm youre being patronising!!!!!!! yeah thats the whole fucking point dumbfuck

>>682544
Who you talking to?

>>682547
how do you even function in life if youre genuinely this retarded lol

>>682548
>Lol retard
>You retarded
Case in point: you're a post pubescent pretentious twat.
"Retard" as convenient slur is so grade school

But then again, a lot of people never grow out of childhood, especially nowadays with nostalgia culture being rampant.

>>677848
>>682436
>>682535
>>682543
You can't really accuse someone of being "pretentious" without sounding really really mad. Doesn't help that they really are mad usually.

Why are you so mean to each other?

>>682552
Same thing for people who overuse the word "retard". It's like using the N word.

Imo, both those words say more about the accuser than the accused.

File: 1751051040224.jpg (68.62 KB, 823x615, trvth.jpg)

most of the time people who are 'pretentious' are just talking about something they love and the ones making fun of them have no passion in their life

>>682557
Then, making fun of people liking superhero films are passionless, not unlike OP

Apologise.

watch The Franchise. best thing to come out of the capeshit genre in a long time

Television and its offshoots are the greatest pacification tools ever invented. Romans wish they had circuses this addicting.

normies face when when you tell them your favourite film is new french extremism modern classic "irreversible" and not "wholesome marvelous prolefeed #666"
