Most sci fi movies and almost all super hero movies bore me. Not all, but most.

Hulk with Ed Norton? I loved it. Christian bale vs bane? Same. Rewatched those a few times. Guardians of the galaxy was worth a watch. I liked Thor ragnorak.

Ant man? Avengers? X-men? Captain America? Wonder Woman? Superman? Shazam? Aquaman? Black panther? I just can’t care anymore. I am not trying to be crabby—they just bore me and it’s a little depressing.

People getting excited about marvel continuity? I don’t even try to follow it. Effort greater than fun.

Same with a lot of TV shows. Just not interested.

I realize my geek focus is more focused now. D&D, building stuff for it or miniature games and an occasional series x shooter is it.

And reading ENWorld

but it would be great?

The real question is... do they have it in 'em to make it Epic!

Also on the topic of Muppet crossovers...

 

[Bohandas]

And maybe Animal as Hulk?

Johnathan

Either that or Beaker, after being irradiated by Bunsen Honeydew

EDIT:
and of course Miss Piggy as Black Widow

Similar to what someone said above, I find myself losing interest in a lot of sf/fantasy shows...lots of good stuff out there, but it almost feels oversaturated. Even the shows I liked to varying degrees, I find myself losing interest in and/or forgetting.

Oh, and Rings of Power is an atrocity.

To add fuel...

Everything Star Wars post original trilogy ranges from really bad ("I don't like sand") to meh (Oh cool, Boba Fett again. I guess).

I have not and have no interest in watching classic Doctor Who.

I’ve tried. I’m sure it’s wonderful but I just can’t. Maybe if I grew up with them.

Star Wars has close to the worst ratio of good:bad movies around and the TV show ratio may actually be worse. (Only counting live action here.)

The Alien franchise, as much as it pains me to say, may be the only sci-fi/fantasy ratio with a worse ratio.

The novels released after the original Star Wars trilogy were far better than anything put out since, whether films, TV shows, or novels.

I agree for what I’ve read, but a friend is telling me that the Disney-era novels have been very solid fun. One of these days I’ll go try them myself.
