"Superman and Lois" has some explosive action scenes, but its traditional drama about a family man being unable to balance his 'career' and family. Unable to please his kids, wife and father-in-law.
Most seem attempt to keep milking the same ole cash cow with no originality whatsoever. I have to admit I found first Deadpool movie amusing despite the potty mouth dialog. Oh and for some reason I liked Dr. Strange, maybe it was the Cumberbatch Sherlock memories... But in general I would not morn the end of the superhero flicks as main focus of Hollywood. Guess though they would come up with something worse. Ending mediocre doesnt mean you suddenly get good stuff. It can get worse.
I have zero use for superhero movies. I think they're boring.
That said ... what do I care if they crank them out?
Am I obligated to see all movies? [No.]
Would I want to see all movies? [No.]
Even if I wanted to see all movies, Hollywood alone spits out 500+ films per year. Who has time for ~1.5 new movies every year? [Not me.]
If anyone is watching even half that number of movies every year, that's a person that really needs to get a life. But they still could easily avoid superhero movies, which are a small fraction of all movies. It baffles me why people get bent out of shape over product they don't like. Don't consume that product - problem solved.
I don't agree with that. I think more than a small fraction of movies produced are superhero movies. And yes, I get irritated at the volume of superhero movies produced. Why? Because I want to watch a movie about something else and if movie producers are making umpteen superhero movies that's time they aren't spending making other movies. Besides, I think the movie producers could make billions on movies about other subjects. But they wouldn't know because they're so stuck in the Marvel universe. Consider the theater industry is hemmorhaging $$$ right now. Part of it is COVID, but a lot of it is people are tired of the same old thing. They need to come up with new revenue models and get creative like the rest of the world.
I'm currently watching the 1990s show "Lois & Clark" and I have all 87 episodes of it.
Teri Hatcher is by far the most convincing Lois there has ever been, incredible screen presence, and aggressive without being annoying. And whoever wrote the dialogue did a tremendous job, because Lois talks non-stop, and you never feel like her words are boring, always interesting and often humorous.
And Dean Cain delivers the best Clark/Superman combo maybe ever. Christopher Reeve is the most convincing Superman, but Cain was able to make Clark Kent more of a real human being, so Cain's Clark is the best ever. And Cain's Superman is the 2nd best Superman ever, because Reeve has more powerful screen presence, but at least Cain's Superman has that relaxed approach (while Cavill was too rigid and uptight).
"Are they making too many superhero shows/movies?"
Absolutely.
And I am loving every minute of it.
What used to be a niche thing, has become as mainstream as it gets; literally the best time to be a superhero fan.
I think that they do, but people who like comics (and superheroes) explained to me that they don't think like that... They watch a new superhero movie the way they would buy a new comic book (about Batman, Superman...). So they don't mind the same heroes. They are generally disappointed with the stories being repetitive and boring. I watched several superhero movies and - that's enough for me.

You're wrong. Period.
Since 2014, at least 706 films have been released in the U.S./Canada combined each year - with the exception of 2020, due to COVID-19. Still, 392 films were released last year. In 2018 it was 873 films. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ca-since-2001/
And the number of superhero films? 2019 set an all-time record with ... ten. That's 10 out of 792. That's fewer than 1 in 79 films. Or, 1.26%. Yes, that is a small (very small) fraction of all films. And bear in mind that year represents a high-water mark for superhero films. https://screenrant.com/2019-superhero-movies/2/
That's 782 films that aren't superhero films. In one year. Don't claim you've seen more than a comparatively small number of those. Your moviegoing experience would hardly change if it changed at all if there had been 792 instead of 782 non-superhero movies released in 2019.
It's like complaining that there's 100 beers on tap, and you only like 99 of the brands.
