It's like the CG animated films - they used to all do well, then studios started cramming more into each year, and we started to see ones that either came and went or flat out failed
You want to put each of your 150+M investments in the best position to succeed, and the way to do that is certainly not by flooding the market with them

That's a good point, I chalked the failures entirely up to lack of quality in those films, and there was definitely lack of quality involved in those that did not do well, becomes that lack becomes all the more sharp when there are other similar films of equal or better quality nearby. Cap, even with its pitiful second half would have done great if he was the only game in town.
But at the same time, that doesn't show growth of the genre. I don't think we'd make these comparisons about action films in general.
