Mediocre / bad super hero movie fatigue is a real thing for sure…Spider-Verse and Guardians are doing fine…
Honestly the public is just tired of being fed crap…It’s been a steady decline for the DCEU for a while, Disney is feeling it now…Indiana Jones seems to be leaning this way as well…
If Barbie lands, coupled with Mario and now Spider-Verse, these major studios are going to have to rethink their approach going forward…People aren’t willing to pay for a movie just because it has big IP branding, it needs to actually be worth watching…
but that has always been Hollywoods problem.. they looked at the success of deadpool and took away the R rate humor instead of Ryan reynolds working well in that movie
a lot factors in with the flash
first ezras extra curricular activities did get a lot to boycott the film
then your main star not doing press hurts too
the gunn hyping it up as the greatest superhero film then it turns out to be not true got people staying away too especially when its not even close
then the drama behind the scenes and snyderdorks
the film really has to be the greatest cbm ever made to overcome all of that but that is also why they just had to get it out there and get it out of the way and be done with it
biggest thing to me is their track record
even with marvel post endgame I don’t feel compelled to be there opening weekend
I’ve never had a problem with spoilers.. my problem is what I’ll call the “antman/captain marvel”, I can just wait for these movies to hit Disney+, Hulu and/or MAX and avoid all the money i woild have spent on ticket(s), food, etc.
especially if I’m dealing with crowds and/or having people in seats next to me.. I purposely go to the movies during odd times to allow myself to be comfortable
