Will superhero movies ever die? I heard of a monster universe being started beginning with the new mummy. When will it end? When will we have stand alone movies again? Why does everything need a sequel?

If your sole interest in making films is profit, why would you make standalone movies?
>>85099985
They will. People will eventually get tired of the oversaturation. Same thing happened to westerns. Once the most popular genre, now only a couple movies every so often

Because the quality degrades after each sequel is released.

Quality =/= profit
Recognizability=profit

I don't understand the question. Are you complaining about superhero movies in general or the recent "universes"? I think the universes will stay, though there will be independent superhero movies that won't be parts of the universe/won't have the universe mentioned at all since people will get tired of everything being connected.

They won't. Valerian, a stand alone movie on a new IP, will come out and bomb this week

When they stop making money. And thanks to china, that means never.
Yes. Next is pop-horror or space-shit.
MCU has actually placed itself pretty well to slide into space-shit, with Asgard and Guardians; Star Wars will support it anyway, it's not like they'll stop making them; it's possible that Valerian spawns a series, there is a lot of material to mine that is unknown in the English speaking world; Star Trek will try, probably fails; other franchises may surface again, John Carter, Flash Gordon, Dan Dare, rebooted or parodied; and finally it's possible for a new franchise to appear, fingers crossed.
Or it's pop-horror. Might be good, and MCU has placed itself for this pretty well too. I hope not, we just had pop-horror in the early 2000's, and it's remained in zombie form (ironically).
