dnovraD: Considering the deck builder has been around since...the trading/collectable card game has become popular, I don't think it can count anymore. Personally though, I was pleasantly surprised by Mega Man Battle Network and Balatro, you do you though.
Eh, deck building really came about when created for the tabletop game Dominion in 2008. You're thinking Deck construction. There's a difference between "build while you're playing" and "build a deck then play with it". /pedant mode deactivated

I'm sick of playing "the chosen one" or having to save humanity, the world, the universe.

What role do you prefer? Curious wash-ashore who happens to save the world? Underworld prisoner just looking to escape? Biology Observer?

How about being the space janitor that just cleans up the mess that the hero left after saving things:

Hardspace looks more interesting to me.

Hardspare looks interesting. Unfortunately, it isn't going to run on my laptop. :(

Toodee & Topdee do essentially save "the world" in a sense. Similarly to fez even. But the job is between two players whose presence change the aspect of the game itself. Which...if you're that tired of it might not even work but it does, at least to me, make a significant difference.

Geromino: Just to explain we just had a Fantastic Four movie that reportedly is pretty good (havent seen it myself).

But it totally flopped, nobody wants to watch it.

Theres a lot of other superhero movies around, but they arent even good. Nobody wants to watch those either.

Thus I think superheroes are over and something else will come up.

dnovraD: I don't know who or where you got that from, but jumpin' Jehoshaphat, unsubscribe from that creator of tripe!

Not only was Fantastic 4: First Steps a smash hit, but it even outranked MinceRaft and Superman itself! Nearly half a billion Box Office Gross is not small number!
God, where the hell did this guy get this "FF 2025' bombed bullshit>
Sadly, this is common on the Internet,people want tomake a point and they are willing to bullshit and out and out lie in order to do so.
And it is not even a clever lie. A visit to any of the many webistes that cover the movie business would show how big al ie that is.
Maybe he meant that FF did not do Avengers/Spidey level business. which is true. But very few CBM do that nowdays.
FF was a solid hit for Marvel, and they are happy with the results.

Budget vs box office.

It might have paid for itself. Might.

Seem like it will not even hit 500 million box office. If the reported 200+ million dollar budget is true, that plus marketing will have gobbled up most of it. And it comes up exactly to the unwritten rule of "has to make x2.5 its budget to break even". Though it's true that big budget movies even breaking even could be considered a success these days.

It did not bomb, nor was it a hit (financials-wise). The numbers are pretty clear here. Though it depends on your definition of what a "hit" is of course.
