It is too bad--but it really is something that comics, especially, need to do because they've got all these superhero stories that turn on the same neverending battle that the good guy has to win. Sometimes I forget how much some comic fans are into that whole aspect too, like the people who have conversations about who would beat who. Sometimes I get it--there are some heroes who are clearly ranked in terms of their ability at certain things. But most of the time it's more about what the story's about and what it's saying.
