    Nah, that’s exactly what makes them awesome. I’m not trying to watch the news, I want some cool entertaining stuff, not more of the same life I already live. “Ooooh look the same stuff as the world around you! How interesting!” I’d just not watch a movie if I want that.

        Nah, what you’re calling realistic just ends up meaning the addition of economy & finances & politics to things I don’t really want it in. If I want to watch a political spy thriller I can do that, if I want to watch super heroes, I don’t always want it to account for all that. If a realistic movie includes super powers that’s awesome, stuff like The Boys or Watchmen; but I still want & enjoy the fun of a superhero movie having a set piece fight in the middle of New York, without having the movie go into the territory of insurance claims.
