    It’s not superhero fatigue.
    It’s mid to bad movie fatigue.

      Indeed, I would throw their Star Wars crap in the same pile. I almost missed on Andor considering how meh the rest of Disney Star Wars has gotten.

        Agreed. As an old school Star Wars fan, Disney, in my opinion, has soured the franchise for me.

        Mandalorian started well, but I was bored by the middle of season 2. Boba Fett had a few good moments, but it was such a fan service show, it was irritating to watch and incorporating half a season of Mando into it didn’t help. Obi Wan was a completely pointless story that added nothing to the saga. Again, more fan service of wanting to see Vader and Obi-Wan face off again. Andor was the only show that felt like real Star Wars.

        I can’t believe the next film is for The Mandalorian, haven’t we had enough of him already. I was really looking forward to Rogue Squadron, shame it was cancelled.

          I’m still in awe at their decision to make the action scenes be a bunch of a dudes shooting at a guy in armor that can’t even be beat by lightsabers and thus having zero stakes.

          Which makes no sense, btw, even in Disney canon the Jedi were what tilted the tide in the various Mandalorian Wars.

          It does make Windu casually beheading Jango even more baller though, so, eh…

        It’s the Scooby-Doo problem: everything is completely formulaic. Hero has humble beginnings. Finds a wise old man character or helper. Somehow, a little-known enemy has a massive planet sized base. The hero blows it all up in 2 hours.

        Also, all the enemies are purely bad, and the good guys are purely good. In these universes, there’s no fall damage and no insurance companies either.

          Until this article I was seriously wondering if Kevin Fague had left the company. If he’s the guy with The Vision then who’s oking all this stuff?

            It’s Feige, and he’s still the boss but he is much higher up the chain of command at Disney now and probably doesn’t have the time to manage it that closely anymore.

      I would agree. The last few marvel movies have been awful. I’m not tired of super hero movies. I’m tired of bad super hero movies.

        Not sure why you were down voted because I agree: I’m not tired of superhero movies, just bad or mid movies. The fact that Guardians 3 and Spiderverse made lots of money and were really good movies was not a coincidence. It just means Marvel has to try a bit more than they used to.
