It's ancedotal but I hear this all the time. Comic book movies are fun but there's a serious lack of original blockbusters these days which puts many off movies as a whole. We used to get a raunchy comedy breakout ever year but even they have died off lately and the closest thing we get is Deadpool, a superhero movie. We had Ted, The Hangover, were the millers, Bad Neighbours, wedding Crashers and the jump streets yet this past 5 years has been dire for the genre. Even Todd Phillips moved from comedy to CBM's. It's becoming a bit depressing
Every year I used to wonder what would be the hit comedy to see but lately it's as if studios have lost their sense of humour.
