No I am not? Comedies are openly the most cash grabbiest movies around.

They're cheap movies, made quick for an easy buck. Comedy producers are all upset these days because their meal ticket died, no one goes to see comedy in the cinema anymore.

I'm just more refuting your claim of Superhero movies being the lowest form of cinema. That easily, easily, goes to comedy.

I wouldn't even put Supehero movies far above it. But no chance they beat comedy for this title.

I think the abundance of them from 99-now is wearing many thin.

But superhero isn't really a genre to me. More like a setting or theme.

There's so many different superhero movies and so many different types of movies you can make with superheroes. I don't think they'll ever die.

But I imagine what people are talking about, is the post Endgame popularity of them. They're not as popular, not as trendy and casual interest is winding down.

Of course covid plays a huge role here. But from 2008-2019 there were 12 billion dollar superhero movies and since 2019, there's only been one billion dollar superhero movie. A movie which featured all 3 live action Spideys and their famous villains.

Dr Strange 2 did make 950mil and Black Panther 2 did 850mil. So plenty of love for superhero movies still. I just think we've passed the peak of their popularity.

> this is in part why single player story games are dying too in AAA spaces.

Your entire AAA gaming paragraph is a bit out of whack. But this one isn't even true.

Multiplayer games have been shoved to the side because of the past generation. Unless a MP game is a F2P skin machine... it dies and even then most die anyway.

All the big publishers, largely focus on SP experiences to various degrees. With each having maybe one major MP game they focus on.

Where as in the generation before that, the 360/PS3 gen. Every game came with a random tacked on MP mode, most of which were horrible.

You legit don't see this anymore. Usually the MP is like entirely separate from the SP game even if they do have one. See RDR2 or TLOU2, the latter of which is still waiting for the release of its MP mode.

SP story games are more popular than ever. They just take ages to make, like a AAA game greenlit today, won't come out until the PS6 is out.

No way, many of the superhero movies have fantastic VFX and SFX sequences, costuming, makeup and one two occasions, acting.

Comedy by far takes that title. Cheapest, sleaziest, laziest genre filmmaking has. The worst big studio movies ever are all comedies IMO.

I think it turned into a travel TV show like his Conan without borders stuff. So it will likely take awhile to film

>“When I travel, people say they just saw the one where I went to Korean spa and they saw my whole body and now can’t unsee it. It’s really nice… I would like to add more foolishness to that mountain.”

Quote from a year ago on his progress on the show. So Feb 2022 he hadn't even had more than some fleeting ideas for the show.

But given he's off in Europe somewhere right now. It's probably turned into this.
