Superhero Fatigue

[Iggyrox]

Anyone else coming down with it?

 

[DiFabio]

Yes . . .

 

[Invictus Sol]

Not yet.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

 

[YoNoSe]

 

[Khev]

Yes. Everything in moderation. It was very refreshing to catch The Imitation Game, Birdman, Into the Woods, American Sniper and Boyhood in the theater a couple months back. I'm ready for Age of Ultron but I needed a break.

[The Ween]

Not at all. Though after hearing about some of the DC offerings. I just might be soon.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I'm the opposite. Right now, I'm a little sick of Marvel...so you could say that I have a fever, and the only prescription is more DC films.

Consider the other choices

YA
Remakes
TV to Screen
Comedies (Will Farrell, Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart, and other one-trick comedians)
Chick Flicks
Oscar Bait
Animated movies featuring anthropomorphic talking animals, fish, vehicles, insects, etc.
Paranormal Horror
Found footage

Superhero movies are just another category. I'm happy to finally see them on the screen. Some will be good and some will be bad, but I think they'll be going strong for at least another ten years before audience fatigue truly starts to set in. By that time, we will probably be looking at more immersive entertainment technology anyway.

Like watching Superhero films in our own virtual reality cinemas.

I've been into superheros for some time now. Since I was a wee lad. But there are people here older than I. People who have been into this stuff for 60+ years. If I don't feel fatigue yet. I don't imagine they do

 

[AIR]

Nah. It's what I'm into.

 

[Ondi]

Yeah it's my passion, I don't think I'll ever get completely sick of them.

I might sometimes get fatigued discussing it on the forum (which of course, is my own fault), but not really watching them. I don't watch comic movies every day, or every month even, so I don't really get worn out of them.

 

[DFanatic]

I'll never get tired of them. It started in 2008 and my passion for it gets stronger everyday. Lately, the only movies I truly look forward to are the MCU ones.

Me to, think they are the only ones I see in theatres also. Aside from lotr everything else that has come out is trash

I don't get the idea of getting "fatigue". People watch tv shows every week. Any given tv drama is one hour long and how many episodes? 14 maybe 20 + depending on the show ? So 20 hours a year. Now multiply that by several years...and that's a lot of hours with the same characters and the same formula, and people still watch TWD or L&O SVU Getting "fatigue" because there are 3 or 4 superhero films in a 12 month period, is overeating a little bit.

Pretty much. It's either you watch em, or you don't.
