    Nah, that’s exactly what makes them awesome. I’m not trying to watch the news, I want some cool entertaining stuff, not more of the same life I already live. “Ooooh look the same stuff as the world around you! How interesting!” I’d just not watch a movie if I want that.

      You are imagining something that doesn’t exist, because it’s boring and stupid.

      Look at the example I’ve already given, and the others people have already replied with.

      “Realistic” is anything but just “watching the news” when written well.

        Nah, what you’re calling realistic just ends up meaning the addition of economy & finances & politics to things I don’t really want it in. If I want to watch a political spy thriller I can do that, if I want to watch super heroes, I don’t always want it to account for all that. If a realistic movie includes super powers that’s awesome, stuff like The Boys or Watchmen; but I still want & enjoy the fun of a superhero movie having a set piece fight in the middle of New York, without having the movie go into the territory of insurance claims.
