I am more interested in what I think is generally perceived as a general drop off in quality, and the reasons for that. I don't think it is particularly surprising. When any Hollywood genre becomes dominant it inevitably becomes formulaic because film is big business (high budget films in particular), and big business doesn't like risk. I suspect we'll see the next creative peak in superhero films when technology makes CGI so accessible that indie filmmakers can do reasonable effects on the cheap, so that all those kids who grew up in the superhero boom of the 2010s can start bringing all their wacky and deconstructive takes to the table.</blockquote>
