Is Hollywood done with superhero flicks?

The two most recent offerings, Supergirl and He-man, both bombed at the box office. Marvel's last several releases have not done well either. Are folks tired of the format, or have they just been lousy films? Or maybe a little of both? :shrug:

I haven't been to see one in a theater since the 2nd Guardians of the Galaxay movie.
 
Hollywood is done with POORLY MADE Superhero films.....


.... we have a new Spider-Man coming out at the end of this month....




... and a trailer just dropped for this December's DOOMSDAY!!! :banana:

 
I think calling He Man a superhero movie is a bit of a stretch. It’s a retro IP doing fantasy tropes for an audience that doesn’t really make much sense as people old enough to remember He Man as a going concern are pretty old at this point.

Last year’s Superman was a success by a director who has a good track record. This year’s Supergirl was a bit of a mess by all accounts so I’m not sure that’s much of an indicator. Deadpool and Wolverine made a kajillion dollars in 2024. Thunderbolts underperformed, but it was well regarded critically and was a good little movie for that sort thing. And it’s not surprising that “smaller” film with a bunch of self consciously D-list heroes didn’t pack em in. I would assume the Fantastic 4 movie was more of a disappointment.

Spiderman Goes to Hawkins and Avengers v. Oppenheimer’s Bad Guy will likely make a shit ton of money.

I'm done with Hollywood! Until they star Tilly Norwood in Jane Austin's "Rise of the Machines" featuring Buzz Lightyear Hollywood can kiss my Toy Story.


Oh, and it needs to have Japanese sub titles.
