Comment on Zachary Levi Says ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Critics Rating Was “Oddly and Perplexingly Low”

For me it just solidified the end of the Superhero genre because I don’t feel like there’s anything new they can bring to the table. It wasn’t really a bad movie, it was just very flat and forgettable.
Like with horror movies, most releases will follow the same tropes and a few gems that do something new and interesting will pop up. Logan stood out in the middle of the superhero boom as new and interesting.
The superhero genre is currently coasting, but it hasn't ended and eventually something interesting will pop up.
It had nothing that made the original movie popular

Falcon and Winter Soldier nearly got good when dealing with the un-snap consequences, finally a new idea, but then it failed to do anything interesting with it

I felt the same about WandaVision. They gave up the mystery about halfway through and it just became kind of boring and predictable after that. I’d say the same about Moon Knight too.
