“The Marvels” flies into theaters next week, trying to reverse what has been a rough year at the box office for superhero movies, with both Marvel (“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”) and DC (“The Flash,” “Blue Beetle”) experiencing underwhelming setbacks.
There are various reasons for that, including lingering headwinds associated with the pandemic, mediocre projects and the impact of streaming, which has fueled a glut of such fare with adaptations for services like Disney+ and Max. Yet for this genre, a more subtle factor might be the bad, no good, extraordinarily nasty “heroes” that have entered the chat, as Amazon’s “The Boys” spinoff “Gen V” concludes its first season and the animated “Invincible” begins its second.
Of course, DC has delved into R-rated fare with “The Suicide Squad” and Marvel has its “Deadpool” sequel in the offing, but the Amazon shows practically exult in their rudeness in a way that reaches new heights, or depths, take your pick.
