The superhero boom is certainly showing no signs of stopping or even slow up . But could space opera be the next genre to take over our CRT screen ?
In response to this Wiley Post , on all the reasons to be optimistic about the coming outpouring of DC superhero movies coming out in the next six years , a treatment commence about whether the time was also ripe for space opera to take off again :

So , I saw GoG this weekend and wondered to myself if Marvel is in fact trying to slowly butt against into space opera as a sort of life raft once the superhero bonanza blow over . Think about it . There ’s no intellect they could n’t start making all their properties more cosmic , thus shedding all the boring urban landscape and substantial world visuals superhero picture show have start out to become mud by . If Intersetallar and the next Star Wars is successful ( which come on . It will be ) are we blend to see the re - issue of Space Opera ?
We got a whole undulation of these movie immediately following Star Wars in the 80 ’s , but the engineering and resourcefulness just was n’t there yet . studio terminate up making nothing but second rate copy cat . But Guardians of the Galaxy reminded me of how we now have decades of material in comics and lit to mine and interpret to the cock-a-hoop projection screen .
Or whether what we were actually seeing was just another sign of the zodiac of how essentially healthy and entrench the superhero musical style is — so much so that it can easily support another musical style or two within itself :

I think it was more along the business line of them picture how far the “ superhero genre ” really stretch . It ’s an pliant musical style where , unlike the early 00 ’s mirthful book movies or the 90 ’s batman movies , or even the 80 ’s superman picture show , it ’s not a genre that ’s strictly enclose to being a superhero story . Marvel , in guild to prevent the potential fatigue of superheroes , essentially say “ let ’s make a [ insert genre ] story with a plot about this thing and then stick [ insert superhero ] into it and see how that impacts the story ” .
Cap 2 essentially took a 70 ’s political thriller , threw in Captain America and SHIELD and HYDRA and showed how that escalates the bet and the floor .
Thor has been 2 phantasy stories ( 1 where a phantasy fictional character finish up on earth and another where the tellurian ends up in the fantasy land ) with a superhero .
GotG was a space opera house that interracial fantasy elements with cybernetic assassins , freakish outlander and a human with a terrible case of arrested development & coolheaded toys as the superheroes .
They ’re demo how much of a chamaeleon the music genre really is and that it ’s evolved beyond the typical superhero plot of land and as a solution , insulating the genre from interview fatigue . It ’s like a throw - back to the 80 ’s ( and early 90 ’s ) movie rule of mix & matching genre where you had the Goonies or hooey like bragging Trouble in Little China and Kindergarten Cop and Lethal Weapon and shit . Except this time , they ’re stick a superhero in or else of a guy that just has guns or a ragtag and bobtail group of outlander instead of vexing tiddler .
What do you call up ? Will the next decade or so be as memorable for blank space opera house as it is for superhero movies ? And just what kind of interaction are we survive to see ( or would you care to see ) between space Opera , superhero flicks , and other genres ?
