Trilogies are pretty much the standard format for a superhero franchise at this point, which means that most superhero franchises aim for three movies for every character. It’s been a hard life for superhero trilogies, however, as most follow the standard of: a great first film, an either mediocre or astounding second film, and a horrific third. Not every trilogy is the same, but the fact that this worrying pattern is so common means thatit can be hard to find a consistently good and rewatchable superhero trilogy at times.
