INCLUDING Dr. Strange...and makes for MUCH better writing/story telling.

Being grounded in reality doesn't mean you can't have fantasy characters and actions. It means the surrounding "world" functions in a normal, relatable way, where your suspension of disbelief OUTSIDE of the major characters/plot isn't stretched beyond reasonable limits.
Think of normal interactions between people and things, ways of life. Sort of like EVERYTHING BUT THE FANTASY characters. Hence the term GROUNDED in reality, but not ACTUAL reality.

IMO...THIS is what made the Ultimate Universe initially popular. A lot of comics were corny as shit before that. When a lot of the things that USED to happen in only the Ultimate Universe started happening (albeit slowly) in the 616 (is that right?) the "need" for the Ultimate Universe went away. Remember the good ole' self imposed Comics Code Authority??..
...and to further my point, the MCU avengers is built of the blueprint of the Ultimate Universe.



Again I'm at the total opposite end of the Monica Rambeau with you.
I think The Dark Knight was a masterpiece as far as "superhero" movies go. It's removal from much of the "fantasy" to me, was one of its strongest points.

I feel like I equate movies that make use of BLATANTLY ridiculous physics, situations, and campiness to something created with impressing a certain demographic.....sayyyy.... 15-20 years olds. I feel like if i was in that mind state, much of what I see would be "cool". In fact..I believe in my younger days that was the turning point when my adult mind stopped accepting blatant foolishness up on the big screen.

What I find really disturbing in recent hero movies is the overuse of CGI coupled with hideous camera angles that keeps switching shots. I couldn't follow the action in Homecoming when Spidey fights the Vulture. Too much on the screen is happening that it is hard to follow what is going on. GOTG 2 also had similar problems.
