So wait why is other genres like superhero and such talked about in terms of fatigue when there is a glut of movies but not horror? Why is everyone so quick to defend horror against fatigue talk but so quick to claim other genres have fatigue? Can it not get fatigue like any other genre? And with 90 horror movies being released this year alone is that not too much into the marketplace that can lead to fatigue?
You ever hear me claim fatigue of anything?
I’m not speaking specifically about you. So the point still stands.
Then I’m not the one to address it, because I don’t espouse it or agree with it.
Ok, so then do you feel there is any particular genre that is being released too much to the market? And if yes then why is that considered too much and horror not?
Ok, then do you believe genre fatigue happens at all in movies? And I'm not talking about just you personally, I'm talking about for the general public.
As I’ve already stated, you’ve never heard me mention fatigue at all, so, no.
Without looking at statistics, no.
I'm not going to go back and look through all your posts, but I vaguely remember you talking about fatigue during the discussions back when Solo was coming out.
And what defines "very good" though, as that is very subjective, because we've had some what I consider "very good" movies come out over the last 5-10 years but for whatever reason didn't hit at the box office. And were attributed by many here (and in the industry) as fatigue.
I very much doubt that. I can’t get enough Star Wars movies. Before solo came out, my only concern was it would be next to impossible to replace Harrison Ford. I was correct, but enjoyed the film. I don’t think you can give me too many Star Wars movies.
This is missing the point. It’s not about subjective “very good,“ but about the word of mouth and good reviews that give a film legs.
Got it so fatigue is not a thing (to you) and a good movie will win out, or it won’t, depending.This is missing the point. It’s not about subjective “very good,“ but about the word of mouth and good reviews that give a film legs.
As we all know, there are plenty of very good films that don’t do well at the box office. Was there Wizard of Oz fatigue in 1939? Some things just don’t hit.
As for fatigue, you can argue that with someone else. I personally think it’s almost always overstated.
So you think what you think, I think what I think, and we all go on.
I didn’t “go after” anyone. I stated my differing opinion after you made an assertion with a degree of certainty that raised an eyebrow for me.Got it so fatigue is not a thing (to you) and a good movie will win out, or it won’t, depending.
So then when another poster discusses superhero fatigue or any other genre like action or what not I want to see you go after them just like you did me with horror.
Lol, ok, its just funny to me, but whatever.
there’s a debate whether superhero films are their own genre, or a sub genre of action (or whatever type of film it emulates - e.g. Winter Soldier being more akin to a Cold War thriller than a conventional action film. Personally, let’s accept superhero films are a genre. They are still performing steadily over recent years and some have done exceptionally well. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that films that have faceplanted were not regarded as good movies by critics or audiences. Thunderbolts seems an exception to this, but again, it’s the 36th film in a 15+ year span, so perhaps audiences are fatigued by Marvel (and its explosion of mediocre TV and film content) and not the genre in particular. We can test this proposition next month with Superman and FF.
This is true, and the only person who achieved the impossible was River Phoenix.
The lesser characters looked recycled. Like they had been in Strange World, or other movies.
I’m just here to add I have no one on ignore, even those I disagree with.
