I sure there are some people that will watch EVERYTHING released but is enough is enough? I always wonder too if some actors regret getting involved because you're stuck with this character for fucking years. The money is good, but when you try a different film, particularly a serious drama, you might be just known as that superhero person and not taken seriously by the audience. Other actors, this might be the biggest thing they'll ever do and they could be set for life, money wise.

The effects of extreme hubris and overkill will be glorious..Hopefully, if this gambit fails, it will kill this thing for awhile..

A few will flop, more will make grotesque amounts of money. It's just what people want now or perhaps have been conditioned to want, either way I reckon we've got a good ten years or more of this before the genre burns itself out.

Disney now owns the rights to the doodles you make on your napkin while talking on the phone. you will soon be receiving both a cease & desist order and a trial subscription to Disney PLUS.

That is an impressive onslaught, that ought to kill the franchise. However, DC I don't think has learnt to re-invent themselves as all inclusive as Marvel did/has.

I mean, let people watch whatever it is that makes them happy. Now with that statement out of the way...

I've seen a few of the MCU films, and they're... fine. Good fun, but they aren't exactly going to change the world I see the world, or make me think deeply on any level. Maybe they will for others.

But what gets me is how much franchises/sequels/remakes have taken over the movie industry. Looking at the list of top grossing films from 2019, 25 of the top 30 fall within one of those buckets! That's insane! Compare it to just twenty years earlier, and only 8 of the top 30 fell into one of those buckets (nine if you want to include The Matrix, though the sequels were only made to cash in on the success of this one). Or 1979, when only four of the top 30 movies would match that description. Not to say that those prior years didn't have plenty of rotten movies cashing in at the box office, but at least there was variety and originality.
