It sure seems like the number would have been a lot higher than 4 per year between both DC and Marvel. Feels like nowadays Marvel is at least good for 3 or 4 a year.
The excitement has certainly waned on my part. While a lot of these films are fun to consume, retrospectively most of them are just kind of garbage cinema. Even thinking back on the latest Spiderman I just catch myself realizing that it was two and a half hours of absolutely nothing. I've defended the movies in the past, as sometimes a mindless 2.5 hours of ridiculous set pieces, one liners and some physical comedy are what you want, but for me it is starting to get old. But for every one of me that "ages out" of being interested in it there's probably a bunch of kids ready to fill my shoes as the consumer.
