    Because they've been mostly trash for the last few years. Here, saved you 20 minutes. No need to thank me.

    I think it’ll be very interesting to see whether your prediction comes true…yet. Maybe the genre pattern you’ve defined here will be, at least temporarily, disrupted by one or another studio. Marvel seems to have taken a step back and may be retooling. The reported upending of the 4th season of Daredevil and the attenuated and disrupted movie schedule seems to be evidence of this. Only time will tell…
    Very interesting thesis, and well worth the time. I’m not sure everything you assert as fact is actually correct, but it’s thought provoking and plausible. Earned my sub. Nice job.

      @@maxmazzotti6651 I mean the "battle" part of the movie Endgame. But ofcourse in retrospect true ending as well.

    I believe it's because of superhero fatigue, and most of the recent movies haven't been good.

    People are over super hero movies because it's all we've gotten for nearly 20 years.
    Time to move on.

    It's not superhero fatigue. It's bad writing fatigue.

    30 second into this was already too much. simple answer, hollywood has gone WOKE. I just want to be entertained for a couple of hours. I don't need a girl boss marie-sue lecturing me on DEI.

      I might check out my video covering “woke” media, it may help you see a different perspective!

    I will have you know that I enjoyed the old Xmen movies and Raimi Spiderman films.
    Sure, you had flops like Ang Lee's Hulk, but without those films walking Superhero films couldnt run.
    However, think of where that running got us, predictable plots, SJW inclusion for the sake of it, "THE MESSAGE" and twerking she hulk. I would take 1000 extra Xmen movies over any more woke garbage marvel shills out.
    Oh and Tobey can act circles about Iron Boy Jr.

      I agree that there where definitely still some great movies from the 90-early 2000 period. I can’t say I agree with the modern movies being bad because of “woke”, if you want to see my opinion on that I have an additional video on woke media, it might be worth a look!
