People are superhero'ed out

Deadpool 3 just had the 6th largest opening weekend of all time (and it's R-rated). People will go see good movies period, the MCU just hasn't been very good lately.

I know it technically is a movie about superheroes, but I feel like Deadpool doesn't qualify as a standard "superhero movie"

Subverting the standard expectation is the way nearly all good superhero films get there, to the point that it is the expectation.

Good point, I did not expect the Guardians of the Galaxy series to be a funny sitcom at its core but here we are.
