Comment on I'm tired of teen superheroes

Ehhh, Hollywood is pretty obsessed with high school kids in general. I think it has something to do with certain people peaking in high school.
I personally think it’s to do with luck in life, when someone is very fortunate, they diverge from the masses around high school.

I don’t think it is about luck. People have more hopes and dreams when they are younger. And these movies and stories are also aspirational. You want to become a big time politician, a federal judge, a tech star, a super hero. And people like to be reminded about that, about dreams and hopes they had for themselves when they were young. And what do you aspire to when you are 40? Not to get fired within twelve months? There is definitely something heroic in this economy, but can you make a blockbuster DC universe movie about that?
