i would love to see revivals of old franchises go the way of the dodo. i am as nostalgic as any millennial but if i want to see indiana jones or ghostbusters or whatever, i'll just watch the originals.
i don't think the superhero franchises are going anywhere, unfortunately. they are still reliable, even with some people losing interest over time. it seems like a good moneymaking bet for disney at least. and all the studios seem really risk-averse lately, more than they used to be.
I'd more interested in MCU stuff if they tried something new with them. It's why guardians as a franchise did so well. The cracks really started showing id argue with captain marvel.
I'm just bored of superheroes in general, I think. I watched up to the first Avengers movie as they came out, and kind of lost interest after that. GotG was fun, and I liked the first Black Panther. Loved Thor: Ragnarok. There's just probably a limit to how much someone can do with that set of concepts without getting repetitive.
It's more to me because of the studios interfering. Its worse with wb and DC but like cause it's a overarching universe each individual projects suffers creatively because of it.
I haven't bothered with DC movies since Wonder Woman (2017). It was an OK movie, and then I stepped outside and forgot about it. So I can't speak to how bad those movies are, haha. With Marvel, I do think the quality is good, it's just that I'm not interested anymore. I have a hard time understanding how anyone is still excited after 15 continuous years of the same stuff.
