Razorfist discusses the genre, and why it’s important.
When superhero movies finally make themselves unwelcome, one might hope that proper westerns could make a comeback. But for that to truly happen, I suspect a cultural shift would be needed. The multi-decadal push to denigrate the United States, American history, western civilization, etc. makes traditional westerns difficult; but if the pendulum finally swings back the other way, a culture that celebrates the sort of “cowboy ethic” that westerns at their best espoused could well see a return of the likes of The Duke.
