Superhero Crash

Are we due for a massive superhero film crash?
It doesn't look like it will happen any time soon, and im sure kids will always enjoy them, however it looks like studios are becoming more and more reliant on them, large budgets, multiple planned films years in advance, long actor contracts etc, this is a lot of eggs in one basket and as soon as the general population gets tired of them, that they are seen as boring or uncool or whatever, they will go the way of the western.

The Marvel formula is crashing. They peaked with Avengers and have been on downwards projectory ever since. I just think people want good stories, regardless if it's a superhero film or not.

Disney has Star Wars as a contingency plan.

Its still printing money tho. We'll have to wait and see how Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and the new Thor film do before drawing conclusions. Their latest movies have been kinda weak, admittedly.

>on a downwards projectory
Explain.

marvel is crashing and Snyder films are gonna crash too, so this is the end for both marvel and dc

Already peaked with TFA. Now they're just going to exploit as much money they can from the IP before people get so sick and tired of it they'll beg for it to end.

Compare how much Avengers 1 did at the box office with Civil War, which also had a much larger cast of known superheroes.

MCU has already hit its peak. They're spending more and more each year earning less and less. They have a 4 billion investment to recoup so they must be getting worried by now.

Can you show me?

and live action adaptations of old Disney animated classics like the Lion King, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, 101 Dalmations, Bambi, Robin Hood, the Aristocats, the Fox and the Hound and so on and so forth.

the Avengers have been going down.

Avengers 1 made 1.5 billion
Avengers 2 made 1.4 billion
Avengers 2.1 made 1.1 billion
