How is he missing the point when you're basically restating exactly what he said? They're an escapist ride, not a story of the human experience.

They are both escapism and stories of the human experience. Spiderverse, for example, is partially about overcoming self-doubt.

this is a laughably bad example. successful art at its best can reveal something new about yourself or the human condition; it can make you feel emotions that you don't even have words for.
overcoming self-doubt is something we teach children.
Happy to hear that you've moved past that human emotion, but you don't need to insult those who still experience it.
