I'm just realizing that I have zero desire to watch another live action superhero movie anytime soon. None at all. I'm tapped out.

I've felt that way for years. There are too many and they're not very good, I don't want to encourage them.
@gamesbymanuel A very fair assessment! I was thinking about this, and my desire started lagging 7 years ago when I saw X-Men Apocalypse.

I didn't watch that! The Marvel ones were light fun at first, but eventually became so interconnected that it started to feel like homework. You couldn't skip one or you'd miss references, and all were ads for each other.
@gamesbymanuel Yeah, I'm not a fan of all the interconnectedness either. Other franchises seem to do it without putting such a burden on viewers (Trek does this well).
My other thing is CGI. The CGI has become so overblown and obvious that it just annoys me. Films with a lighter touch or maybe just better quality of it stand out to me. Black Panter felt really good in this area while the Thor movies are unwatchable for me.
@rf_seattle
Agreed! I studied VFX so I can't help but notice it everywhere too. It's best used as seasoning, not the meal!
