People look at Superman or Captain America as a role models, why not characters from this movie?

What adult looks at Superman as a role model?? He's a role model for like 5 year olds.

Plenty of people who've probably been fans of the comics since they were kids. It's not like it's impossible for people to look up to fictional characters.

Looking up to fictional characters is fine as a kid but it's absolutely embarrassing as an adult.

I don't think so. I mean hell there are people basing their ideologies off literary works. Whether it's Ayn Rand or George Orwell or Lao Tzu.

I think we still see comic books as "childlike" but obviously they hold an important place in modern culture. I don't see drawing inspiration from a comic hero as any less than drawing if from any other form of media.
