Super hero fatigue has hit me strongly.

I think I realized it with Avengers 2.

This looks like it'll likely be as good as the others, but I doubt I'll see this one in theaters unless invited

It won't last forever; superhero comics haven't done anything memorable since superhero movies became the cash cows they are, because they have to wipe the slate clean every time a movie comes out in order to work as a tie-in. Most of the good things that came out of superhero comics were the result of building up over many years by many people, and they're not allowed to do that anymore. If nothing else kills them first, superhero movies are going to run out of source material worth mining.

That or JTHipster will get that Vampire Jubalee movie.

I think it's safe to say that Super Hero, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy movies will be our generations Westerns/War movies. There will be classics worth seeing, but the genres will be over saturated.

I have theater fatigue. I jus don't have the same desire to go to the movies in general.
