I’ve been talking to a friend about this some and it got me thinking. With the success the Marvel movies and DC tv series, there seems to be a glut of content available and it might seem a bit much. On the one hand, it seems like there are just a ridiculous amount of those shows available today and you can’t deny it’s the most prolific they have been. On the other hand though, the quality and variety seems to make it palatable. I honestly think what it boils down to most though is I’m too close to and enjoy the source material too much to make an objective call and I tent to notice and consume more than the average consumer. So is it too much? I imagine we’ll start to see it shake out some, but I think quality will still be king. Look at DC, their TV shows have done well, but the movies are being panned because they can’t replicate the magic of Marvel and the variety they represent.
