For more than a decade, superhero movies dominated popular culture with near-total authority. They were not simply entertainment. They were shared rituals, collective myths, and cultural reference points that shaped how we talked about power, morality, trauma, and responsibility. Entire phases of life were marked by midnight premieres, post-credit scenes, and online theories dissected frame by frame. Yet today, something fundamental has shifted. The crowds are thinner. The excitement feels muted. The conversations are less passionate and more cynical. Superhero movie fatigue is real, but it is not just about too many capes or repetitive storylines. It reflects something deeper and far more revealing about the cultural moment we are living in.
