Legend
As the title says. For the current Marvel and DC universes I have seen very little of them. I have seen the Avengers and the two Guardians of the Glaxy movies and I enjoyed them but not to the extent I would rush out and watch the rest of them.
For the older ones I have seen most of the Batmans but not the 1997 one or the 3rd one of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Going back further I did watch the Christopher Reeves superman movies but I can't remember what ones I watched and don't recall enjoying them that much.
Now I am getting old so that might be it but I thought about what comics I read as a kid in the 80's and kept into my teenage years. They were.
The Disney and Warner brothers ones. Basically Bugs Bunny and Scrooge Mc Duck.
But mostly European ones probably borrowed off my parents.
Asrterix and Obelix.
And WW2 ones that were British.
Commando
War
Battle
Other British comics were Buster, Whizzer and Chips and Beano.
Apart from Asterix one of my favourites was The Fighting Major because it had New Zealand soldiers in Crete and IIRC it was a Commando comic. My parents for the most part let me read whatever I liked including their books. At school when I was 10 years old starting intermediate (1989) I was reading stuff on WW2 in full colour that included the holocaust and nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and I would make toy planes of Spitfires etc out of cardboard (and bought models). The local school library had those books on the reading table at the back.
Even as a kid I thought the super hero stuff was stupid. I didn't mind some of the super hero movies- 1989's Batman and Batman Returns but even then I liked things like Labyrinth and Terminator 2 more.
So I am wondering if you're not American and mostly skipped the Marvel/DC stuff as a kid is it common to not really care about Batman, Superman and Spiderman. Those were about the only 3 you heard much of here along with Wonder Women (there was a TV show) but the rest of them even now I only have a vague idea of who they are. And I only vaguely remember child hood TV shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Wonder Women, Dungeons and Dragons, Dukes of Hazard, Greatest American Hero, Chips, Knight Rider. I remember watching them and theme musics but very few scenes, characters and storylines. A can remember individual MacGyver episodes/plotlines though and rewatched Battlestar Galactica a few years back. Memories of movies are better probably because I watched them multiple times on VHS.

But not what the show was about.
So yeah all these years later I don't actively dislike super hero stuff but I struggle with it.
