With the year nearly a third over, the domestic box office is down 21 percent from last year, and last year’s box office stunk. Box Office Mojo shows the 2024 domestic box office at $1.935 billion as of today, April 23. This same time last year, the domestic box office had grossed $2.449 billion. Already, 2023 was considered a disappointment. Two full years out of the pandemic, the year still fell 16.2 percent behind 2019, the last full pre-pandemic year. But this year is shaping up to be a full-blown catastrophe, and despite what the sycophants in the entertainment media tell you, it has nothing to do with the strike or the pandemic or weather or marketing or anything other than what the science tells us: people are falling out of love with the movies. People are rejecting the movies. After some seven years of woke garbage, gay sex, grooming, DEI, and the politicization of absolutely everything, by a margin of 2-to-1, Normal People say the movies are worse today than in past decades. Last year was the year of Barbie, Super Mario Bros. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Oppenheimer, The Flash, plus another Little Mermaid, another John Wick, another Indiana Jones, another Creed, another Mission: Impossible, another Hunger Games, another Fast and Furious, another Scream, another Transformers… Throw in some Pixar, two Marvels, two DC flicks, and Taylor Swift….

To say superhero media is popular would be an understatement. For those looking to get their fill of heroes, there's plenty of opportunity to do so. After all, 2022 alone saw over a dozen live-action superhero stories hit both big screens and televisions worldwide, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Marvel Studios has dozens of announced and rumored projects in development, and an end is nowhere in sight. Then there's James Gunn and Peter Safran's upcoming DCU slate, which will undoubtedly spawn countless projects under its own banner. This has led many to believe superhero fatigue will only worsen. In fact, a recent study conducted by Fandom revealed that over one-third of Marvel fans are getting fatigued with the MCU. But what does the head of Marvel Studios have to say about it all? Marvel and Superhero Fatigue Kevin Feige, Eternals, Spider-Man Marvel While guesting on The Movie Business Podcast, Marvel Studios Kevin Feige talked about how the Hollywood giant navigates creating the MCU's various Phases and how he feels regarding superhero fatigue. When asked how Marvel Studios decides on what their Phases will be, Feige was quick to point to "the 80-plus years of Marvel comic history as [their] guide:" "Each of our sagas are broken into phases and we now find ourselves on the precipice of Phase 2 of the Multiverse Saga. And there are two ways to do it. One, we look at an overarching narrative, always using the comics and the 80-plus years of Marvel comic history as our guide of what general, long-term story we want to do. But really, it comes down to each individual film or series, and what type of genre we want to do." As for the question of superhero fatigue, it's something that "people were asking... [since his] 2nd year at Marvel:" "I've been at Marvel Studios for 22 years now, over 22 years, and most of us here at Marvel Studios have been around a decade or longer together. And from probably my 2nd year at Marvel people were asking, 'Well, how long is this going to last? Is this fad of comic book movies going to end? And I didn't really understand the question. Because to me it was akin to saying after 'Gone With The Wind', 'Well how many more movies can be made off of novels? Do you think the audience will sour on movies being adapted from books?'" Feige continued his comparison to adapting books, emphasizing that there are "80 years of the most interesting, emotional, groundbreaking stories that have been told in the Marvel comics" for their company to explore and bring to life: "Well you would never ask that because there is an inherent understanding among most people that a book can be anything. A novel can have any type of story whatsoever, so it all depends on what story you're translating. None comic readers don't understand it's the same thing in comics. There're 80 years of the most interesting, emotional, groundbreaking stories that have been told in the Marvel comics and it is our great privilege to be able to take what we and adapt them." He went on to point out that "adapting [these stories] into different genres" is also a key way to keep the content fresh, and avoid fatigue: "But another way to do that is adapting them into different genres and what types of movies we want to make. And I, from sitting at USC, probably Semester 2 before your screenwriting class, Jason, and sitting in Cinema 101 and being exposed to so many different types of film that I said, 'I want to make all of these. I don't want to just make one kind of movie, I want to make all kinds of movies.' And I found that if we tell the story right, and we adapt them in a way that the audience still, knock on wood so far, is falling us along 22-plus years later with, that we can tell any types of movies that share two things.
