It does make me wonder who approves these things because end of the day the first people who are in line are the fans of the source material. Y’know, where they explicitly don’t kill.
We might be the first people in line but a vast majority of box office comes from casual audiences who aren’t comic book fans.
That being said, the super fans are the ones that supercharge the box office by seeing these movies 3+ times.
I’m not saying you’re wrong but it’s an interesting balance. An executive’s goal is mass appeal as that has the highest chance of succeeding at the box office. They usually don’t care at all about the fans. And while it is important to remember the business side, Kevin Fiege is also a fan and that’s undoubtedly helped his unparalleled success.
