Yeah the good guy wins in 99.9% of all movies. But that’s not a bad thing.
I think one of the reasons I liked Rogue One was that it’s “win condition” wasn’t “every one lived happily ever after”. although I will say, if you have enough time to find a beach and make out, you probably have enough tome to find a shuttle, or something.
(the other reason I liked Rogue One was Alan Tudyk as K2-S0)(okay, actually, that’s why I loved Rogue One. Sue me.)
It’s good to have one movie be different, but if every movie was like that, it would be boring and depressing.
so all the other movies where all the action follows a set pattern… are not boring and depressing?
I loved the ending of Rogue One, saw it in the cinema too (I don’t really watch new Star Wars movies).
I am fan of the director, Gareth Edwards, Monsters (2010) was such a good indie sci-fi experience.
No, Not a bad thing, but not interesting for me to watch either!
Ozymandias has entered the chat.
Yea, this is true, if you just ignore literally everything else about superhero genre pieces, the themes and allegories that are being presented through storytelling, and only pay attention to the surface level spectacle.
Every book be like “This is a protagonist, they have a conflict”. Why can’t they just be original?!
I think you’re giving too much credit to superhero movies, it’s not like they’re doing anything new, just churning money from simpletons
Boy, have I got news for you…

beat me to it
They thanks. That was an interesting read
An average of 3 per year starting from 2003. By 2011 it was an average of 5 superhero movies per year. Currently we’re on 6 a year.
I find it interesting that this seems to overlap with the period of Trump’s rise to power.
Well, you do have two competing media empires turning them out looking for $$$. Warner vs. Disney. And the odd outsider…
So far this year we have:
Disney:
Captain America: Brave New World $200,500,001
Thunderbolts* $189,945,847
Fantastic Four – July 25, 2025
Warner:
Superman $155,045,310
Sony:
Kraven the Hunter $3,110,836
If you want to be this simplistic, you could also apply this to the Matrix, Die Hard, at least 3 Star Wars films, most od the James Bond series, and basically every action movie made between 1991 and 1999.
