Prediction: superhero movies/comics will become unpopular and go through something of a recession/winter due to covid. They won’t bomb, but they’ll underperform and be a somewhat marginal genre for a decade. Why: straightforward extrapolation from WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Comic_Books#After_the_war …

50s (American Graffiti-like) may be popular given coziness/domesticity trend, but more revisionist and modern in tone. Early 60s (Beatlemania) might do OK too. 70s made great art, but absolutely no one is nostalgic for that decade.
