The worst thing to happen to superhero movies since Joel Schumacher.
Completely kills any stakes and drama and enables lazy writing. I refuse to watch any of the new Spider-Man movies for this reason.
They've been doing this in comics since the 1960s.
The stakes are just "I don't get to see my favorite character for a little while." Long form highly impactful dramatic stakes are not what superheroes are for.
Superheroes are for an ever-rotating set of situations and watching them navigate them until it all blows up again. Rinse. Repeat.
Superheroes are built on a "What-If" engine. The enjoyment is watching your favorite hero navigate an endless array of situations. If there were high stakes, you would never see if they can do this other thing. This doesn't mean all of these versions and situations are awesome. There are duds, and lots of them, but you take the good with the bad.
