I think the abundance of them from 99-now is wearing many thin.

But superhero isn't really a genre to me. More like a setting or theme.

There's so many different superhero movies and so many different types of movies you can make with superheroes. I don't think they'll ever die.

But I imagine what people are talking about, is the post Endgame popularity of them. They're not as popular, not as trendy and casual interest is winding down.

Of course covid plays a huge role here. But from 2008-2019 there were 12 billion dollar superhero movies and since 2019, there's only been one billion dollar superhero movie. A movie which featured all 3 live action Spideys and their famous villains.

Dr Strange 2 did make 950mil and Black Panther 2 did 850mil. So plenty of love for superhero movies still. I just think we've passed the peak of their popularity.
