Agreed completely. I feel numb to it now and as if the novelty has worn off a bit. The hype for both S-M3 and TDK was so damn incredible, and it feels so damn long ago too. Like 20 years or something haha. I'm hopnig the hype for Matt Reeves Batman can echo times of old but we'll see. none of the MCU films have been able to get me as hyped as both of those films did.
I think it’s a combo of a lot of factors. I was 18 during the TDK hype, so I was at the right age where I was old enough to incessantly follow the production, but also still had that level of youthful excitement that fades as you get older.
You combine that with the fact that we didn’t get that many superhero films, and it was the first time Venom would ever be in live action, or the first time in nearly 20 years the Joker would be seen in live action, the hype for that is pretty much.
We’ve have tons of great superhero material since, but no matter how good something is, if you get it more regularly, it’s just not going to be as exciting.
