There are many different opinions regarding superhero movie fatigue, but one thing we know for sure is that enthusiasm for superhero movies has died down and box office numbers for these types of films have been disappointing in recent years.
The boys are the protagonists Anthony Starr recently shared his thoughts on superhero fatigue and is rebelling. During a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Starr said he doesn’t believe in the idea of superhero fatigue.
The actor explained: “No, not at all. I actually wonder where the tiredness is. And I think, without going into the details of everything that was or wasn’t successful, I’m very curious to see what happens around any notion of superhero fatigue when James Gunn’s superheroes (projects) come out.
“I don’t think the public is tired, let’s put it that way. I think the audience is hungry. We were just in Mexico doing a CCXP over there. And they’re hungry as hell for superhero content.”
The people who attend these types of events, however, represent a small portion of the movie-going fans and audiences.
Starr continued, “I think it’s easy to start saying, ‘Is this superhero fatigue?’ I think people just want new stories, new ideas and new narratives.
“And because the nature of our show is an inverted universe, we are not tied… we are not slaves to the same masters. We’re not tied to the same moral true north as standard superhero stuff. We don’t have borders, right?”
I agree that people want new stories, ideas and narratives. I also think the quality of the film is important too. You have to have a strong story and script to get people excited about things.
As you know, Marvel Studios has made some big changes behind the scenes to get back on track. James Gunn is also doing the same thing with DC Studios and its reboot of the DC Cinematic Universe.
We’ll just have to wait and see if what these studios are doing will increase fans and audiences for superhero movies again.
There’s a lot of excitement right now for Deadpool and Wolverine, but this is a special case. This movie will be a big hit because Deadpool and Wolverine will go on a wild adventure together! The real test will be what Marvel does after this movie.
As for James Gunn Superman, while I’m excited about it, many other fans don’t seem too sure about the direction it will take. I’m sure that will change, though, when a trailer is released.
I’m of the opinion that superhero fatigue is real and why studios like Marvel and DC are making the changes they are making. They know they need to get back on track and win back their audience.
