I am a fan of "super heroes," but will admit, I've been overwhelmed with the sheer number of comic book based movies in recent past & have not been particularly impressed with many of them I've watched.
But? I wouldn't hold disdain for those who like to sit back, eat a trough of popcorn & chug down a bucket of some carbonated beverage while they suspend disbelief and escape a mundane reality.
I mean, it isn't like they are watching what we are headed towards: "Idiocracy." Still find that film to be the most frightening & prophetic "horror movie" ever released, and it was marketed as a comedy...
