"I don't think superhero fatigue is a real thing, but I do think that the genre of superhero storytelling has become so ubiquitous that it's gotten to a point where it's not fresh

Superhero fatigue is a term that’s been thrown around a lot lately, usually when discussing the recent struggles of big-budget comic book films at the box office. But according to Robert Kirkman , the creator of Invincible and The Walking Dead ,

Superhero fatigue has become a hot-button topic. Between Marvel flops, the death of the DC Extended Universe, and the destruction of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, superhero fatigue has become one of the go-to reasons to justify why these comic book adaptations failed.

During the Los Angeles premiere for Prime Video's Invincible Season 3, Robert Kirkman explained why he doesn't buy into "superhero fatigue."

Over the last few years, the state of comic book films and shows has grown increasingly uncertain with the phrase "superhero fatigue" getting thrown around following the surprise underperformance of major Marvel films.
