People can be bored of a genre as a whole, but still respond really strongly to movies that are just really good and happen to be of that genre - in part because they used to like that genre, and just a grind of mediocre movies as put them off it.What "superhero fatigue" really means is that mediocre superhero movies are no longer a licence to print money, which they definitely were for a while. Not that genuinely really good ones can't succeed.Nah, he's not wrong - "rote by the numbers" covers most of Marvel's output over the last decade. They've tried picking some weirder directors/writers but there some kind of weird homogenising effect (I think it's called Kevin Feige) which blandifies most of this stuff.Again though, I think this helps Gunn. He is not a blandifier. He is not someone who always pulls their punch at the last minute like Feige is.</blockquote>
