Searches for 'Avengers' on adult websites increased by 5,000% after release of 'Endgame'
Popular movies and shows have over the years spawned a huge amount of adult entertainment.
While 'Avengers: Infinity War' caused a surge in adult searches related to the film, it was nothing compared to the increase in search population following the release of 'Avengers: Endgame', adult entertainment website PornHub has revealed.
When 'Avengers: Infinity War' released in 2018, it caused a 356% surge in ‘Avengers’ searches on the adult website.
At the time, that kind of a surge in searches seemed like a sizable increase, especially for something as huge as the incredibly popular Marvel movie franchise.
Therefore, when 'Avengers: Endgame' started trending all over the world following the release of the film, the people at Pornhub revealed through their insight team the massive effect the new movie had on their searches. The team examined the search queries from the beginning of April through just before the movie's opening weekend.
Before the release of the movie — which has been named one of the top-ranking movies of all time — ‘Avengers’ searches increased by an incredible 2,912% on April 19. This was up from an average of 1,779% increase before April 16.
However, after the theatrical release of 'Endgame' on April 26, searches for videos based on the superhero movie increased even further, peaking on April 28 at 5,188% above their pre-April 15 average.
Basically, if one had to talk in real numbers, the staggering 2,912% increase translates to an additional 2 million searches over 7 days.
In addition to all the searches that contained the 'Avengers' keyword, the statistics team at PornHub further revealed that names of major Marvel characters had also peaked in popularity and search volume.
Names like ‘Captain Marvel’, ‘Black Widow’ and ‘Spider-Man’ took the top three positions, while Incredible Hulk and Captain America took fourth and fifth place respectively.
Other Avengers that were searched include Scarlet Witch, Gamora, Thor, Iron Man, and Black Panther.
