I was talking with one of my closest friends the other day and the subject of star trek came up. He used to be the worlds biggest trekker. We started talking about how in the 90's, star trek went from being a fairly popular thing to a super nerdy thing due to an influx of movies [staring a rapidly aging cast] and tv shows which tired the general public. My dad [who used to be a logger and factory worker] LOVED the original star trek but started hating it circa 1995 due to the flood of movies, tv shows and the vocal fanbase. My friend the former trekker has given up on the franchise as he has 'trek tiredness'
On the subject of superhero movies. I'm sort of sick of those too. When i was babysitting some kids the other day, i found a box of super hero action figures for them to play with. The kids all knew exactly who the characters all were, they're contrived origins and motivations AND not one of them had read an issue of Superman or Batman; they'd all seen the movies. Later that day, i made a comment about how i was nostalgic for the 1960's, cheap, low-budget Superboy cartoon [i used to have a vhs of that as a kid]. I guess the reason Marvel and star wars films continued to be made is because they turn a profit. The Disney execs arent listening to the numerous, angry fanboys as they cannot hear them over the truckloads of money
