Superhero fatigue must be a thing…The reviews for this movie are glowing but I still don’t feel like checking it out.

I can already imagine the protagonist being torn between his newfound role as a superhero and the demands of family, only to realize after a long series of humorous situations that he can serve both by being true to himself, and… Yeah.

I was done with the whole genre after watching just about everything leading up to Endgame. Once that saga closed I’ve seen like 2 superhero related things and just can’t muster the energy to watch it. Even seemingly great movies like the Spider-Man stuff, particularly Into the Spiderverse looks awesome but I’m just so done with it all. That said it’s not like I consume all that many movies outside superhero stuff either so yeah.
At this point the only thing I’m interested in is the Loki series everything else I just can’t muster the energy/desire to want to watch.
Loki had my interest until the last episode of season one. Now I’m worried season two will be an extended trailer for Kang Dynasty.
I was done the moment I realised they weren’t brave enough to be experimental with their formula and tone/vibe. I think the high points were Iron man (1) / Winter Soldier / Ragnorok / Endgame / Loki (TV) … because they all did something new for the genre. Everything else has been bland, or, sadly IMO, had fans decry it for not being a comic book movie (looking at MCU fans criticising Eternals).
Please reconsider Spiderverse. Both movies are superbly made.
Maybe they should wait for the 3rd one. 2nd is kind of a cliffhanger.

Cliffhanger is a generous term for "the movie doesn't have a 3rd act"

Don't get me wrong, I liked it but it just kind of stops instead of ends

People saying it’s a terrific movie are being incredibly misleading. Across the Spiderverse is 100% setup, 0% payoff.
