What does an exciting superhero movie look like after the sheer amount of superhero movies we've had?
The way I see it, many of the superhero movies that are coming out are fatiguing people because they don't have much of what people want in a movie anymore. They're just getting pushed out... simply
because
(MCU, in particular). It's like a factory that's churning out a product and every so often, the corps put a different wrapper on it. In the end it's still the same shit. The same shit that people have communicated that they aren't a fan of or bored of.
There is no passion, love, or thought put into the movies that makes them actually enjoyable to people who enjoy heroes. Again, they feel more like corporate products that must be pushed out as planned rather than someone's actual passion project being completed. Thoroughly.
Want
people
to enjoy superhero movies? Listen to the people and make it for them. Look at what made the past movies so well-loved. Make more contained movies. Stop making a shit ton of side shows (Disney+). Stop forcing everything into some grand universe/multiverse where everything is so connected that you have to watch everything to understand the newest thing. When you see that the ship is sinking, don't start jumping up and down and plunging the boat in defiance (DCEU's grudge against Henry Cavill and refusal to remove Ezra Miller, for example).
How can you ever get people to support you when you ignore everything they say? I guarantee you, if WB suddenly decided to make a big Man of Steel 2 movie with Henry Cavill and a director made it a faithful sequel with the amount of care in it that the first one had, people would turnout big time. People were begging for the CW Flash to take over Ezra Miller but WB said "F em". And it flopped. Those little things matter to the public eye.
I don't want to ramble any longer but basically, the corps in general need to actually listen to criticism. Give people what they wanted. MCU 1-3 succeeded because it was made with love overall, even if a few movies flopped. Current MCU is made to fill quotas.
Also, Disney slowly gobbling up every fucking media company and their franchises is a big problem, because all of the movies from different franchises start to blend in as they're all helicoptered by the same corporation. Like, Disney now owns Alien and Predator, FFS. I'm legit afraid that they are going to ruin them.
Prey was good tho.
