Agreed. I don't even care about any of it until something actually good comes out. Then I will definitely see it.

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.

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

So I watched this last night and wasn't very impressed.
The script was not very good. The chemistry between the characters was close to non-existent. It felt like most of the actors phoned it in.
The Sentry stuff was pretty cool, and I thought the actor did a good job.
All in all, a very forgettable movie.

People have been complaining about "comic book fatigue" since 2005. If it's a good movie, it'll sell tickets.

Saved me a watch. I'll pass on this one. I appreciate you taking one for the team.

That's why I think it's "bad movie" fatigue. Not superhero fatigue, which I'm sure some people have but like you said... If it's good people will go see it.

I saw it in theatres. I liked Apocalypse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn’t give Dark Phoenix a shot but I think Apocalypse was fun. Haven’t seen it since theatres though. Business wise it had to have even profitable to justify a sequel (Disney does not follow this business model for some reason).
I remember WB considered Batman V Superman a flop in 2016 despite earning $600 M because it didn’t break the 1 B mark. The movie grossed 600 M box office revenue!

Well it barely broke even according to the studio and was lampooned mercilessly.

Looks like the movie profited 126 M. 80% of that came from the BvS: Director's Cut DVD/Blu-Ray revenue surprisingly.
