SpainThe article discusses the decline in popularity and box office performance of superhero movies, using 'Supergirl' as a recent example. Once a dominant force in cinema, superhero films have seen their appeal wane, with 'Supergirl' performing poorly in Spain and globally, earning just $130 million despite high production costs. This trend follows the symbolic turning point of 'Avengers: Endgame,' which marked both the peak and the end of an era for superhero storytelling. Factors contributing to this decline include audience fatigue, oversaturation of content across multiple platforms, and the difficulty new characters face in building strong connections with viewers compared to earlier generations of superheroes like Iron Man or Captain America. Additionally, rising production and marketing costs have made it increasingly difficult for these films to turn a profit.
