There Are Several Genres Within The Genre
It might sound like a silly sentence, but comic book movies don’t actually have to be comic book movies. Although some might say that the comic book movie genre is a sub-genre itself (perhaps of science fiction), the fact is that there are plenty of other genres hidden within comic book movies.
Take Captain America: The Winter Soldier for instance – it was a brilliant example of conspiracy fiction. Take Guardians of the Galaxy – it was an awesome space opera. Take The Dark Knight – it’s a truly superb thriller. There are numerous other examples.
Essentially, the comic book movie genre will never die because it can always take on the form of countless other genres. If audiences get bored of them, movie producers can quite easily turn them into something else entirely.
