As others have mentioned, you can use this question for any other genre as well. They're not great films, but they're enjoyable, and they're killing it at the box office so don't expect it to go away anytime soon. Just an FYI, 2018 will have 11 superhero movies.

Yeah but there was a time when Hollywood didn't target kids at all.
Rarely.
You'd get like one Benji movie for the year.
Everything else was, The Killing Fields and The Big Chill.
But Hollywood realized two things this past decade:
Adults aren't going to the movies anymore (And if they are, they are going only with their kids)...and two:
Arrested Development (or nerds) don't age, ever. So you have kids, Dad and adult nerd...that's box office trifecta target audience gold.

I actually think a few of them have been great.
