We’ve had 20 years to explore that kind of thing, and now we’re in an evolution and place where it’s: And the story is what? The theme is what? The point of this movie is what?”

He’s right – the better super hero movies have themes underlying them that are allowed to be explored. If story points are rushed or half-assed, then you get a bad movie.
