I love reading comics, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering what I write on BizarreBrunette. I wrote about She-Hulk last weekend, and when I mention the negative reviews, another theme I’m seeing is people who feel there’s too much superhero content, specifically Marvel releasing their shows on Disney+. I wanted to dive into this as I think it’s an interesting topic to discuss.
Personally, I’m all for Marvel, DC, or comics-related movies or TV series. I like living in a time where we are seeing beloved characters and their stories being adapted. As a DC Comics fan, I never thought I would see Doctor Fate in a live-action movie, especially when Doctor Fate is being played by Pierce Brosnan. I’m also excited for Captain America: New World Order coming out in 2024, The Marvels coming out in 2023, and Thunderbolts coming out in 2024. I want to see more Bucky Barnes (played by Sebastian Stan) appearances throughout the Marvel universe. I’m curious if Joaquin Torres (played by Danny Ramirez) will have a bigger role in Captain America: New World Order.
I can understand if someone isn’t a comics or superhero fan, I can see where this is a lot of content to keep up with. It seems like there is always something new coming out, and it’s easy to get behind on watching every movie or TV series. I think it’s normal to feel some sort of fatigue. While I am a big fan of superhero content, I have to take a break and watch a completely unrelated movie or TV series, so I can dive back in when I’m ready.
As mentioned, I’m all for the superhero content. It’s been awesome to see comics so heavily represented, and I enjoy hearing about people who are getting into comics for the first time. I’d love to know your thoughts in the comments; do you feel that there is too much superhero content?

Nope. Never enough.

People should just not watch things that they don’t want and let others enjoy them instead! 😀 However, I’m more of a quality > quantity person though. I hope Disney learns that quick enough…

I completely agree. I think people felt Endgame was the best ending to Marvel, but to me it was more of the ending of the Thanos arc.

I do feel the quality could be better on some shows, plus I would like to see more indie comic adaptions. I really enjoyed Invincible , and The Tick and as super sad to hear the Tick canceled. It was a really good adaption of a goofy indie comic. As for other stuff I kind of just had to stop watching Marvel and stuff since it felt like too much to keep up with. But I have a ton of Anime to watch , I do wish some studios gave some of the energy to new horror or sci fi material.You know share the love.

I completely agree about more indie comic adaptations. I was sad to hear that the Paper Girls TV show didn’t do as well and wasn’t renewed.

Aw that’s lame ! I still need to watch that one . I always forget ( since I see it as more of a Neil Gaiman franchise ) that Sandman is a comic adaptation too ! Hopefully it gets a second season.
