Theory on superhero movies.

Why are superhero movies so popular? Well some experts think it's because they offer some sort of escapism from the 'real' world. Also because they contain "serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom. Some experts consider this message a necessary reassurance in difficult times. "serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.

[From this website] This makes a lot of sense to me, as I can see that people would enjoy watching superhero movies for the idea that there is something magical out there in the world, that there is hope for them to be something else from normal and boring! I think people also enjoy them because they're funny, they show a funny side to the normal action adventure films which feature people running from aliens or being chased by the police. They are also much more light hearted and easy to follow.
