Thunderbolts* (2025)

I normally agree with Critical drinker but he keeps saying its comic fatigue lately. I haven't watched much lately but you have X-Men First class/Dofp succeed and then 2 huge flops ect ect. It is just shit writing, CGI

I think bad stories have a much larger role to play in this.

Yeah. OTOH, fatigue is a thing, however small in comparison to shit writing. Nothing ever really happens because there are no stakes, no real sacrifices or loses. Sure, 3 characters got offed in Endgame, but that's just one movie out of dozens. Movies, then, are reduced to CGI fests of pointless loud bangy battles with preordained outcomes. Heroes don't seem all that heroic when the only real thing that transpires is a bunch of flattened infrastructure and heroes dropping numb one liners every other word.

Oversaturation isn't really the same thing as fatigue. When you have a new comic book movie every month vs 1 or 2 a year what do you expect?

if you take "Days of Future past" out of the series, apocalypse would be seen as a success

no defending Dark Phoenix
