Come on. Superhero movies are the lowest form or cinema ever produced. Disney especially put out a series of mass produced soulless cashgrabs that take no risks whatsoever. Nobody is ever in any real danger, they're like Dora the Explorer episodes but with (increasingly worse) cgi.
This being said, for the general public it's probably just fatigue/oversaturation. Give it some years and the cycle will repeat.

No way, many of the superhero movies have fantastic VFX and SFX sequences, costuming, makeup and one two occasions, acting.
Comedy by far takes that title. Cheapest, sleaziest, laziest genre filmmaking has. The worst big studio movies ever are all comedies IMO.

You're just measuring budget

No I am not? Comedies are openly the most cash grabbiest movies around.
They're cheap movies, made quick for an easy buck. Comedy producers are all upset these days because their meal ticket died, no one goes to see comedy in the cinema anymore.
I'm just more refuting your claim of Superhero movies being the lowest form of cinema. That easily, easily, goes to comedy.
I wouldn't even put Supehero movies far above it. But no chance they beat comedy for this title.

I’m not sure you know what “lowest form of cinema” means.

Do you? You'd think the form of cinema, that puts no effort in and largely relies on the improvisational skills of its actors to be the lowest form.
But no it's the CGI fests lol

To me it's not really the CGI, rather than the movies themselves being a part of a greater design that has been approved by an investors board to be as risk free as possible. The single directors have almost no way to make an interesting movie. I agree with you on comedies being the quickest cashgrab in terms of investment, but I feel like the Disney approach is a lot filthier.

That’s what I’m saying, man — if you think that’s what all comedies are, then you haven’t seen very many, not to mention good ones. And there’s nothing wrong with improvisational skills. To me, that’s actually more impressive in a way than copious amounts of CGI.
But, beyond that — you still don’t seem to understand what “lowest form of cinema” is. It means dumb, awful, worthless trash.

The Dark Knight falls into the one of the best cinematic movies ever made category.
Also lots of superhero movies fall into the really good category e.g. The Watchmen, Joker..
