The odd thing is Super-hero movies can be a lot of things. Most Are action adventure But... GotG was more Sci-Fi, Ant-Man was a heist movie, Captain America was a war film, Winter Soldier was a political thriller etc.... I've seen more people compare them to westerns, which I don't think is quite right either but....Westerns were box office draws or decades, and petered out in the early 70's. Sure they still exist, but not nearly so as much. I think Super Hero films still have a good run left. BUT...especially on the Marvel side, things may change. *IF* marvel decides in phase 4 to introduce most of the replacement heroes they have brought in the past couple of years, they are going to lose a good chunk of their audience. The younger fans who are reading/buying the comics wont mind. But TBT I haven't purchased a Marvel or DC comic in 15 years, and that was before all the major changes. I have no interest in the new heroes not for any specific reason, I just go by the old saying "If it isn't broke, don't fix it..." Of course I know the industry is all about changing with the times etc... and that is fine. Deadpool was drastically different and very well received. Fox is also gambling on its first Superhero/Horror film with New Mutants (It's not the New Mutants I know so I have no interest...but somebody will...). maybe the lower-budget middle range thing (40-60 million) may work better and be less risky once they start to really shake things up.
I for one really liked Justice League, and I think with Aquaman being a full year away, and having mostly a different creative team behind it. It will take more queues from WW than any other film in the DCU thus far.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
