Why do people keep going to see superhero movies?

I do wonder when the genre will hit the wall. They are all the same and there are so many now as well which kind of cheapens it a little or makes it less special.

Then when you factor in that they reboot these films now every few years in some cases you just have to wonder what the point is. Asides from making them huge amounts of cash of course. 

Well you know it could be i don`t know..........because they like superhero movies.

Or the secret shadow government is paying them to watch them.



One of those

I always respect your judgment, Aussie, but you’ve got to know that blanket-statement simply isn’t true, any more than saying “all westerns are the same” or “all romances are the same.” There are good movies and bad movies in this genre, as there are in every genre. 

It is true that some of these Marvel movies that come out every single year are formulaic, but even there we have some redeeming factors. There’s a good deal of cleverness in Iron Man, Captain America, and The Winter Soldier (to name three of the Marvel flicks)—they’re what Roger Ebert called “real movies,” driven by intelligent plotting and sympathetic characterization, not lights-and-effects shows with characters shoehorned in. If you don’t like superheroes and find them childish, that’s fine—but it’s difficult to deny that these movies, for example, aren’t “the same” and are genuinely thoughtful, made for discerning audiences. 

The ur-example of “superhero movie made for discerning audience” is, of course, The Dark Knight (2008). That film uses an inherently silly concept—the figure of Batman—to address real-life concerns and show excellent filmmaking. (I don’t think it’s as successful as its predecessor, Batman Begins, but mine is a minority opinion.) 

So many stories we love are silly and, yes, even “childish,” from the adventures of Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker to the Universal horror films to classics I know you and I love, Aussie. 

I don’t deny that there are way too many superhero movies nowadays and that the obsession with them is insane. But there are still diamonds in the rough, “real movies,” and they’re worth seeking out and watching for the same reason we watch Jones, Skywalker, and Dorothy skipping down the Yellow Brick Road—and for the same reason that we read about Classical gods and monsters, archetypes in whom we can see ourselves even in part.

Well you can't deny they have the best production. just that thanos Gauntlet itself lighting up and the sound effects coming from it there's more work put into that then most movies. It's the same reason people see Disney movies and the Pixar movies they just have the best production.
Also you could argue that any genre of movie is all the same.
