James Cameron made waves over the weekend when he confessed to hoping for some “Avengers fatigue” at the box office, at least enough for the studios to turn to “other stories” to tell within the genre.

Eric: I know everyone wants to slam James Cameron for hypocrisy, but I’m going to start this off by playing devil’s advocate, even though I’m not the biggest “Avatar” fan.

The sprawling tales of superheroes can feel a bit redundant after a while, especially when they’re stuffed into a dense feature-length running time.
