Superhero films needs a breather, and the fans won't mind
I was 15 when the first X-Men film came out. That was 2000. Then came Spider-Man, The Dark Knight, and eventually the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a cinematic juggernaut that would come to define an entire generation. I am 40 now, and that means superhero movies have been a part of two-thirds of my life — not just as a fan but as someone who built a career around pop culture. When we started Comic Con India, the timing could not have been better. The MCU was hitting its stride, and suddenly fandom had mainstream legitimacy. For those of us who grew up with comics, this was both validation and vindication. The movies made being a geek cool. They opened doors for fans who had never read the books but connected deeply with the stories. They built businesses. They built communities. They turned niche obsessions into billion-dollar industries. It's easy to forget now, but the superhero wave also resurrected dormant franchises such as Tron, Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, and Dune. Entire genres came back into public consciousness because superhero films proved there was a paying audience for genre storytelling. So yes, I love these movies. Many of them deserved every bit of the adoration they received. But here's the truth: everything peaks. Everything plateaus. And sometimes, you need a break. This year's summer line-up was supposed to be a return to form. Big-budget superhero releases were back. But the response has been mixed, at best. I don't think these films can carry the weight they once did — not because the genre has failed, but because it may have simply run its course for now. And as someone whose business has benefited from their success, I say this without cynicism: it's okay to hit pause. In fact, it might be necessary. A breather could bring much-needed clarity for creators, for studios, and most importantly, for fans. The risk with overexposure is not fatigue, it's indifference. And no one wants that for a genre that's given us so much. I just got back from San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), arguably the biggest pop culture convention in the world, and if there's one thing I took away, it's this: the fandom will survive. Superhero movies may take a backseat, but fans won't stop showing up. Because fandom has always been bigger than just superheroes. What most people don't realise is how wide the landscape has become. Sure, the anime wave is loud and growing, but there's more: Sci-fi, fantasy, classic cinema, comic books, indie zines, webcomics, niche games, manga, nostalgia merch, vinyl toys, Labubu collectables (don't ask) — the sheer range is staggering. And fans are moving across categories with ease. You can be a One Piece fan and a Star Wars nerd. You can love Breaking Bad and spend weekends reading underground comics. We have moved past monoculture. Everyone's in five fandoms at once. At SDCC this year, I met fans who had lists of exclusives to buy but who were equally excited about discovering new creators, going to obscure panels, and walking the artist alley. I saw collectors hunting for that one rare item, but I also saw people just soaking it in; the vibe, the conversations, the shared joy. The panels were packed. The lines were long. The city was buzzing. If this is what a 'post-superhero' era looks like, I'll take it. Because that's the thing: fandom isn't going anywhere. It just looks different now. In fact, I would argue that fandom culture today can't even be defined by superheroes anymore. It was for a long time, and rightfully so. But now, there are more eggs in the basket. The fan is no longer just a Marvel or DC loyalist. They're curious. They want stories that surprise them. Just look at the rise of creator-owned comics, indie Kickstarter campaigns, and fan art zines. People are not just buying IP, they are backing vision. And maybe, just maybe, this is exactly what the superhero genre needs, too. A reset. Less pressure to expand the universe. More room for weird, personal, grounded storytelling. Think Logan. Think Into the Spider-Verse. Stories that didn't feel like obligations, but choices. To be clear, I don't want superhero films to disappear. I still love them. But I want to miss them a little. I want to look forward to the next one because it's been a while, not because it's Tuesday. If anything, SDCC reminded me why I fell in love with this world in the first place. And why I will never be done with it. Take the break. Let it breathe. The fans will still be here. We always are. The writer is the founder of Comic Con India.

'Even Disney has all Indian animators': Mahavatar Narsimha producer says Indian animation can rival Hollywood's best
To call Mahavatar Narsimha the most successful Indian animated film does not do justice to just how big a hit it is. The Ashwin Kumar film is all set to cross ₹200 crore at the worldwide box office. The next highest collection for an Indian animation is a mere ₹30 crore (by Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan). Only two other films have ever crossed ₹10 crore. That puts into perspective the achievement of the film. Mahavatar Narsimha has beaten Disney and Marvel films to become the highest-grossing animated film in India. Mahavatar Narsimha's producer speaks out The makers of Mahavatar Narsimha recently held a grand success meet for the film in Mumbai, where the film's producer and Hombale Films co-founder Chaluve Gowda spoke to HT about the success and the road ahead. Gowda says he was always confident the film would do well. 'When we saw the footage for the first time, we knew it was not a cartoon for kids. It's made for grown-ups, too. We wanted to change the perception in India that animated movies are meant for kids. We wanted to take a risk in that aspect. And of course, we believed in the soul, because this is originally an epic Kannada movie that was made 30 years ago. The story was sound, and there was no doubt about the animation, since it was not typical,' he tells us. Prior to Mahavatar Narsimha, the highest-grossing animated film in India had always been one from Hollywood. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse held the record with its ₹56 crore gross in India, and two Disney/Pixar films followed - Incredibles 2 and Frozen 2. Gowda says their film has proven it can 'compete against the best'. He explains, 'When we get this kind of a reception, it proves that Indian films have an audience. And even for Disney movies, the artists are all Indians. Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone just had to take that risk and prove that in India, Indian animation movies will also work.' Chaluve Gowda is the co-founder of Hombale Films, the studio behind Mahavatar Narsimha. A word of advice Mahavatar Narsimha's success will likely push others to follow suit. Gowda agrees, 'It will open up a lot of avenues for others to make movies. Earlier, only foreign movies were doing business in India, but when we do this, obviously, the Indian makers will feel confident.' But he does have a word of caution for those makers. 'A lot of animated movies will come after this, and my only word of advice is that everyone shouldn't just follow the trend. They have to do it sincerely.' Mahavatar Narsimha is the first instalment in Hombale's planned animated seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe. It is currently running in theatres.
