I'm not, but I am concerned that there's too many of them being made. (Too many sub-par ones...) People will eventually get sick of seeing them.
Although, if we're being fair, what is a superhero?
Couldn't we say Lelu was a superhero? Not everyone can learn by reading at the speed of a computer and shoot a beam of light out that stops pure evil the size of a planet.
How about a father who kills half of Eastern Europe to get his daughter back?
How about a mysterious man who transports things and is basically a killing machine that also happens to be the best driver on the planet?
How about a woman who gets accidentally exposed to a drug and then has the ability to do basically everything, including a whole lot of fighting with "super powers"?
These are all Luc Besson films...
Point being, was Arnold the superhero of the 80s? Stallone? Van Damme? Chan? Willis? Seagal? These guys all faced ridiculously impossible odds and situations, yet emerged victorious and unscathed. They were heros, but weren't their deeds super?
How about heroes and villains with the ability to run like the Flash, shoot lightning like Thor/Storm, manipulate minds like Prof X, use telekinesis like X-Man/Cable/Phoenix/etc., and so on? Aren't they superheros, but just called something different?
