Not certain I follow: Why would superhero movies as a whole be inherently any less quality than gangster films? Of course, that's not to say some superhero movies aren't less than stellar, but why lump them all into the same quality (or lack thereof) category? Seems to me the Marvel offerings overall tend to be more praised by critics than the vast majority of films in other genres such as drama or comedy. What's more, to Feige's point, one could certainly argue that it takes (considerably) more effort to produce a superhero movie (from costuming, to makeup, to sound editing and mixing, to special and visual effects) than most dramas or comedies.

Inflation factors would be avoided altogether if they simply counted the actual number of tickets sold for each movie. For example, the best selling/most popular car is the one that sells the most units, not the one that makes the most revenue. Both could certainly be the case, but not certain why this methodology was ever adopted for box office sales.
