Honestly, I do too!
The car chases from French Connection and Bullitt, Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood kicking butt, real explosions, casts of thousands
There was a real sense of excitement in those films. A real sense of vulnerability. The action was performed by real people (even if it sometimes was a stunt man) with real skills.
Now we have computers that can make Scarlett Johansen out to be badder than Bruce Lee.
But, that's what the kids of today relate to their parents tell them that they're special and invulnerable, so they want heroes that they can relate to. -

I've just read this very same thing in the Guardian newspaper. I think it's quite simple, the numbers speak for themselves. At the momement box office records are being broken all the time, more people are going to the cinema, creating more jobs in the industry and elswhere, this in turn creates more revenue to put into other film projects that might not have seen the light of day!
Let's not forget , there are a lot of movies out there for all tastes. Not all of the multiplex cinemas are full of 'super hero'films !
So grab a large popcorn, sit back and enjoy ( while you can)!
For the time being they are here to stay , let's grab a large popcorn -

I would like some more original or lesser known material adapted for the screen but i do like some of the offerings of the Superhero Genre (who would of thought that would become an established term?!). For example, Spiderman, X-men, Daredevil and Thor. As well as the first Batman Begins.
I do feel this genre is only strengthening with the B and C list characters having films going into development. It's like they hit a goldmine with a secret audience, who are now able to come out into the light and revel in their geekness and for others to embrace a side of themselves they would once dismiss out of shame. -

Hollywood always seems go overkill on a specific movie Genre after a couple of films in the genre make huge bank.
Remember the flood of sci films back in the late 70's after Star Wars?
Or all the Spy films that flooded the screen after the Bond films were huge hits?
What makes the comic book genre interesting is that the two big generators of Superheros Marvel and DC Comicsare both owned by big studios (Warners owns DC and Disney owns Marvel) which means that the studios do not have to buy any rights for the charecters..they own them (except,in the case of Marvel,for those that other studios bought the rights for before Marvel started producing it's own films). And combined with the fact that they still make lots of money,the Genre is not going away any time soon.

just don't go. I'm a big fan who has stopped going to most except for spiderman and cap, so yeah there can be a burn out, but why would I complain when I can just stop going?
It's also been a nice change of pace to the typical nihilism of our time. Super hero movies will keep reigning supreme until other genres catch on that values are popular. -

Once upon a time I would have agreed with you. However, what I'm realizing is that people are looking at superheros as one particular genre, when in reality they are evolving into different genres. Marvel's coming out with Fantasy, tech thriller, Conspiracy, space opera, and heist. DC's coming out with Invasion-type. The only difference is we call them "superheroes" because no other type works. Did you see Frozen? Is Elsa a superhero? She fits all the main requirements. But no one would call Frozen a superhero movie. Is every action hero a superhero? Not all superheros have extraordinary powers. No one says "there are too many action movies." Is it something based on comics that's bothering you? What about Men in Black or Red? Heck, why don't we ban the novel itself?
The issue isn't that there are too many superhero movies out therethey've done a good job of diversifying themselves. The issue is we need a new term to describe the genre we're watching. -

I disagree. I think most people have a good understanding that the superhero movies that have been coming out over the last decade can be classified as a "superhero" genre. I think most people would term superhero movies as any movie that claims a character that started out in the comic universe, whether as a main character or as a side character. If we accept this as our definition, then we of course can't count Elsa as a part of the superhero genre.

I'd say genres are pretty flexible to begin with though. I mean, if you look at some of the classic westerns and then compare them to Cowboys and Aliens, can you really say that they're all part of the same genre? I'm not even sure how much genres actually help us in appreciating films.
