Vernon Sanders, Amazon's Head of Television, boils it down to one simple reason.

The Big Picture If there’s one thing that 2023 taught us is that the superhero fatigue is real. With Marvel Studios’ movies and series being met with apathy by the public and DC superheroes like The Flash and Blue Beetle delivering lackluster box office numbers, it’s time that studios go back to the drawing board and come up with ways to make audiences invested once again.

In the interview, Sanders did a simple math to explain why the superhero fatigue is even a thing. According to him, the bar for superhero stories just gets “higher and higher” as the years pass because "there's just been a lot of superhero storytelling available to audiences right now.” We’ve seen origin stories more than a dozen times, all kinds of super-powered combats and the world has been saved by Marvel and DC superheroes at least 30 times by now.

'The Boys' Never Settles For Ordinary Storylines Delivering fresh content seems to be the rule of thumb for The Boys. The series has delivered one impressive moment after the other ever since its very first scene, and at this point fans have learned that you can’t say “it can’t get any weirder than that,” because it absolutely can. Another great merit of The Boys is adding a great number of flaws to the image of the superhero and propose ideas of what would really happen if they existed.
