Seriously, how? They've been trying to kill of superheroes for years (Watchmen, the Boys) but nothing seems to stick.

    Option 1: Superhero movies killed traditional action movies. Seriously, think about how many action movies have come out in the last decade +? I mean before capeshit in any given year there were multiple big budget action films. Now... there's hardly any. So maybe we just need to find something else that slots into that "action" genre that can crowd out superheroes?

    Option 2: It is a possiblity - maybe remote - that movie theaters never recover from COVID. It may be that people don't go to the theater anymore or at least only at a fraction of the rate they used to. That would absolutely destroy movie budgets and the superhero movie experience just doesn't translate to a TV screen.
