I'm not surprised that he doesn't care about the comics that the current glut of superhero movies is based on. It makes sense given his comments about how he loves the excessively self-aware bathos of the MCU: he's secretly embarrassed by this stuff and needs the movie to constantly reassure him "You're not a geek! You're not a geek! You're not a geek for liking this!" lest it take itself too seriously. He's really nothing more than a leech sucking off this cinematic trend for clicks and revenue, and is thus okay with the normiefication that occurs when transferring the Marvel universe on to the silver screen (granted, I got into Marvel comics through the movies as well, but I at least give the source material its due for inspiring them in the first place). This all makes sense when you look at how in the bigger picture, he seems to be okay with this happening with geek culture in general and resents those who wish to preserve these various IPs as "gatekeeping assholes" in order to curry favor with cool kids at the social justice table. Really, he's the Uncle Ruckus of geekdom if you ask me.
