Jaded is a loaded word, I would simply say the genre is tired…just as every big genre in Hollywood gets tired.I don’t think the latest Marvel films have been bad, I think it’s the audience has become jaded. My partner really liked F4, but I was more meh. But then I’ve always found the F4 a bit twee. It was the other way round with Thunderbolts.
Most people are not die hard comics fans. They got caught up in the big marvel ride, had their fun, and are like “ok that was cool for 10 years, but I’m ready for something new now”
That should be 100% expected, heck it should be shocking it’s lasted this long.
Problem is they are still budgeting these movies for the global blockbuster audience, rather than the more midrange audience that is left that are still hardcore. Thunderbolts was a solid marvel movie that flopped because its budget is too damn high. FF4 same way.
