All the superhero movies and star wars movies are the same. It's like every new COD. Do non-superhero stories and quit being so risk-adverse, it's bad for the shareholders anyways.

None of those movies have any grit. Every story told is safe, it's meant for mass appeal, it's sanitized corporate garbage. Even the Barbie movie had more going for it in terms of commentary, story, and backbone.

There's nothing wrong with mindless entertainment, unless that's all you watch, and then the problem is probably circumstances.
