I get that there is some suffering involved, and some broken egos. But people are having jobs and getting paid, aren't they? That's important; specially for artists and technical artists who don't have many well-paying opportunities otherwise.
What worries me is that I watch these productions because they are the lowest common denominator, the kind of thing attractive to my friends and partners who didn't finish high school.
These movies, to justify their budgets and make the money back, have to be appealing to the widest possible audience. Therefore, they can not afford to hurt any sensibilities, and their plots need to happen in worlds as disconnected as possible from our reality. They can't be neither "political" nor "well-educated" in any obvious way. So when anybody watches a Marvel movie, they are maximizing their social futility, the amount of brain-bleaching they get. Worse, they are not using their time to assess/judge the work of a smaller studio who wants to bring public attention to something more concrete.
It is like social media.
