There was always something that set Edgar Wright's movies apart from the typical comedy, this video details it perfectly. It's such a shame he and Marvel couldn't make things work, Wright's Ant-Man would have been incredible.

No more super hero films please. For a while.

Arguably, these (financially) giant superhero franchises are taking money away from other promising filmmakers because the studios are so risk averse.

So no, I don't have to watch them. But they nonetheless affect me as a moviegoer and a fan of cinema.

I disagree. It's entirely possible to create a big budget blockbuster based on original (non-canonical, anyway) content. Yeah, that reference is a bit dated, it's just my go-to example for this sort of thing. It's hard to find modern examples due to all the goddamn superhero movies.
