That last paragraph is exactly it for me, and it’s why I don’t care at all about the MCU and the like. All the superheroes have their origin story that just leads to them joining the team of a hundred other superheroes all battling the bad thing.
No point in caring about how lazereyez or max steelfist came to be heroes, just skip to them doing their part in the team, that’s the end goal anyway. Rinse and repeat for as many characters as the audience will support.
Yeah, I get that loads of people like that shit and cool for them, I stopped caring when the characters were all over the place and I needed to buy a single pack of football cards for a special insert just to learn about some second tier character whose storyline wasn’t all that great to begin with.
