I do wonder this because I have shat on super hero stuff in the past and I do think normies have completely ruined it. At the same time though could it be salvaged in some way? I was thinking in terms of some kind of 3D animated short or movie and yes I am partially floating this idea because I do appreciate simple storytelling and it doesn't even necessarily have to be super hero stuff.
Hollywood and Disney really are fucking up so hard they can't even manage to get such a basic formulae right. I bet these types of movies and shows would be even better if they were uncensored and shocker had blood in them etc. depending on what kind of super hero it was. Graphic gore and blood would probably help keep the normies away from ruining it and they wouldn't let children watch it either.
Eric July did decently with his ISOM sales and spinoffs.
It's sort of a chicken-and-egg thing though where he already had a social media presence which made sales and crowdfunding easier. A lot of people who support what he's trying to do think the work itself is pretty mid.
All of the EVS and Comicsgate backbiting surrounding a thin-skinned YTuber just trying to make and sell comic books really shows that it's a shitshow everywhere even when the SJWs aren't involved.
