I think the problem is more with scale of power in media. You mentioned Superman as an example but he has his own problems to deal with and there are beings who can wreck him. What makes Superman seem boring is because he exists in the same universe as several weaker heroes and is held in the same regard as someone like Batman. You see Batman fight Bane and you know Superman could wreck him easily so he seems overpowered.
I believe overpowered characters are harder to write for, but can turn out really good.
I mean Superman stories can go from ones that are amazing feel good stories about emotions to ones where you wonder “Why didn’t he just punch it?”
So I guess whether I agree or not is basically just ”it depends.” >


“Why didn’t he just punch it?”

And then there's stories like The Death of Superman where you wonder, "Why did he just punch it when he could have ....?" >

Captain Marvel was like that to me in the MCU. Everything that gave her trouble, she obliterated within 30 seconds. >
