It’s the worst opening for a movie featuring Marvel Comics’ characters since “Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance” debuted to $22.1 million in 2012. A C minus CinemaScore means that word-of-mouth is going to be toxic.

Ouch!

I think Avengers 2 actually started to show the early signs of the genre-fatigue.

Regardless, it means the end of all this drawn-out blandness is coming soon! Hallelujah!

Hopefully it means the end of studios creating films that purely serve as setup for a franchise (and for sequels that will now definitely not happen).

Just get the one film released successfully before you date its 3 sequels and spinoffs! All that talk about crossovers with X-Men looks mightily stupid in hindsight, too.

People think the world will be ruled by multinationals like Weyland-Yutani or The Tyrell Corporation. Wrong! It's Disney that will take us to Mars. It's Disney from which we will buy our pleasure androids from.

Now they're just trying to keep the rights. Who on Earth thinks it's a good idea to greenlight a sequel to a movie that has gotten 8% in general - and probably dropping?

They could even accidentally make a good FF movie and it wouldn't matter because no one would see it. At this point the FF property is a lead weight and should be cut loose, only to be scooped back up into the loving hulky arms of Marvel.

It's actually pretty crazy that the world prefers to see the totally unknown Guardians Of The Galaxy over the famous TFF.

I guess the idea of a stretch man and a flying torch do no longer appeal.

It used to be different:

And a longer cut will probably never see the light of day. The studio won't give Trank the satisfaction of legitimizing his cut, or even a version remotely resembling his wishes.

It was a huge disappointment. Regardless what people think of Marvel or DC movies, the first Avengers had the novelty of being a superhero crossover that won audiences over. It was like a fanfic author's dream come true. The sequel tried to outdo the first in terms of scope, but it collapses under its own weight. None of the new characters mattered, the action scenes blurred together, and the way Whedon handled characters was maddening.

The real test of the 'genre-fatigue' claim will be next year's Batman v. Superman and Captain America: Civil War. If either one doesn't do as well as expected -- then yeah, people are tired of superhero overload.
