Focus on the characters themselves

By the time your audience followed all the adventures you created, the audience most likely got emotionally connected to your positive characters. So exploit it! Create a drama between them, where a conflict would be not between the hero and the world, but between the hero, her/his friends and hero's imperfections in between. That would be a nice change which would not only keep your audience engaged, but create a plato between peaks of your "spectacle" plot, as Arcanist Lupus said. But be reasonable, and don't let the pacing get stuck in drama forever.

The most prominent example I can think of is Breaking Bad, where in 1st and 2nd seasons were pure action with dissolving a corpse in an acid bath and bodies falling from planes, and the subsequent seasons, while not totally abandoning the "action" part, became more focused on relationship problems - just to end the story on a highly spectacular climax.
