I think the reason superhero movies stand out so much is they get so much hype. And they make (typically) an enormous amount of money at the box office. So it kind of makes it seem like there is more than there really is.

Don't we, at this point, only have 3 Super hero film franchises? Traditional I mean, you might have some animated and some might even put Star Wars up there, but really it's just MCU, X-men and DCU. that's like 7-8 films a year. As Kain pointed out, with all the other genres, that's actually less than a lot of genres. Can the genre itself be blamed if they make so much money?

Besides, if you don't like them, speak with your wallet. Don't go see them when they come out. If you want to see it for sure at some point wait...there's options. Redbox, cable, netflix etc...if you know you're going to own it on blu ray anyways just wait for that. ..I haven't seen a single DCU movie in the theatre, I've missed all the the solo X-Men films except the horrible first Wolverine movie. I haven't gone to see about a third of the MCU movies in the theatres. Because I figured I would probably buy them anyways, so why pay the money for something I'm "meh" on twice Even if Bluray is more expensive than standard movie ticket but then you're watching on the theatre's time and convenience...plus..pause/rewind button, which I so needed for T:R.//tangent//. There is no law that says because you're a fan of comic books you have to go see every comic book movie in the theatre. And not doing so definitely does not make you "not a fan"
