Lots of good movies come out all the time, they're just not as aggressively marketed as superhero movies, mainly because they're not as profitable as big-budget movies.
That's not necessarily true. Just because a movie is good doesn't mean it will make money for the studios/theaters.
From last year, we had "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga", "Transformers One", and "The Fall Guy" - all good movies that bombed at the box office.
...and this attitude is why we will never get good original movies.
