And Warner. And yes, these studios dominate the industry and put superhero movies in the big tentpole slots, and invest a lot of budget in them that can't go to other films. There is no denying there are more of sh-movies being made now and that other types of blockbusters are taking a hit. It's more franchise movies than exclusicely SH and it's not something that originated with the MCU's popularity, but the landscape has changed.Is this really true though? Would these movies only getting funding from streaming services have traditionally gotten as much pre-MCU? Because the superhero movies are pretty much only made by 2 studios nowadays. Disney/Marvel and Sony. It's not like other blockbusters are being passed over by studios in favor of their own superhero movies
Disney basically only makes franchise movies now, and by taking over Fox they basically killed off another studio making more than superhero films. If I am not mistaken apart from the Avatar films (franchise) the only Fox studios movies currently set for release were in development before Disney took over and 20th Century Studios will be steered towards streaming content.
So yeah, of course those studios currently decide to make SH/franchise films in stead of investing in different kind of blockbusters, which then get picked up by streaming if they're lucky. There are (as always) exceptions and of course there still is different stuff, but to feel there is a lot of SH stuff and less originals/different blockbuster genres is not so strange.
