What's up with Superhero Movies? I Feedback Friday Ep. 22

VOICE OVER: Phoebe de Jeu
The superhero genre is at a crossroads — and we want to know what YOU think! From the massive hype surrounding Doomsday to the mixed reception of recent releases, comic book films are sparking serious debate. Are superhero movies making a triumphant comeback, or is the model running out of steam? Join the conversation and tell us: what is the current state of superhero movies in 2026?

Hello, I’m Phoebe, and welcome back to Feedback Friday, where every week we ask one question, go through your comments and use your suggestions and feedback to improve your WatchMojo Experience.


So last week we asked for your favorite Thanksgiving scene in TV and Film and, two things: how did we miss WKRP? And why is turkey based humor so underrated?


Anyway, let's gobble our way off of Thanksgiving and into a topic that is very much top of mind: superhero movies!


Now, excitement for Doomsday is through the roof, and the amount of speculation and theories out there has the internet fully on board for what seems to be one of the most anticipated movies in an already successful year for the movie industry. Obviously the reception hasn’t been the same for all superhero movies (looking at you, Supergirl) but films like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Clayface are great examples of what happens when you explore new genres and fresh ways to present already established characters.


But with mergers, firings, and industry shake-ups, a lot of people are worried about what may happen to comic book films moving forward, especially over at DC. So here’s the question for this week.


What is the current state of superhero movies?


Are they SO back? Have they been hit or miss, but starting to look more promising? An unsustainable model? Or a boring and tired topic of discussion?


Bonus points if you let us know your favorite superhero movie of the year so far, or any upcoming movie you’re excited about.


So, as always, leave your comments and your video ideas and we’ll see you next Friday. And remember: this is WatchMojo. Your picks. Your voice. Your Mojo.
