I totally agree ... sometimes.
Other times I want a more realistic interpretation of "super-heroes".
Its like shortly after I logged onto HeroRealm (or maybe it was after Alex left??) and Jimmy and I had a debate about Marvel vs DC (shocking, yes?)
How I felt that DC was so golden and supreme with their over-powered heroes that could do anything that made their comics feel very "fantasy" and sometimes, to me, too unrealistic. Which is why when I was a young lad, just getting into the joy of comics, I graduated more towards Marvel's "real world problems" and limited (in comparison) power-set of heroes.
Again, that was my feeling. Yours may be totally different
Now, however, DC has done a great thing by making their heroes a little less omnipotent, a tad more faulty and thus making them a tad more realistic to me. Does that one aspect (of many) partially take away from the fantasy nature? I can certainly see where it can/does, but I appreciate the stories more. I know with Superman I can appreciate the not-so-super Superman a lot more than I could the "there is no limits" Superman.
But yeah, I can see the need and the desire to sometimes just let heroes be like they were intended to be every once and awhile. Just fly, baby.
