2024 Was a Horrible Year for Superhero Movies on Rotten Tomatoes

Fans have been saying the superhero genre is in decline for years, but we finally have the figures to prove it. The last decade saw the Marvel Cinematic Universe sharply rise in popularity, making comic books, muscular actors wearing ridiculous spandex, and underwhelming villains cool with even the most casual of moviegoers. While the genre has been in decline for some years, with studios focusing more on profits over good storytelling, many thought 2024 would begin the genre’s comeback. While Deadpool & Wolverine may have made all the money in the world at the box office, not even that was safe from critics.
