I'm pretty sure the widespread ability/availability of special effects 
were a huge factor on that... regarding superhero movies.  The Tobey 
Maguire Spider-Man was really the first superhero movie that wasn't 
overall garbage.

Of course, the licensing models etc were mostly outside Marvel's 
creative control for those earlier movies.
