Superhero movies with out the heroes?

Or just without the valid script to legitimately explain why some people can Teleport ala the movie Jumper or why they have Telekenesis as in the newest action film and hopefully the last, Push. Are the directors going for action and action alone? I don't intend to see this. I don't intend to see Jumper, ever either! But I just want to know what is up with this new direction in action movies?

Did they see that Spider Man 3 sold well despite being a script flop?

If you took a Superhero movie like those Fantastic Four flicks and then added tons of awesome action sequences, you're already on your way towards making one of these newer films. I don't even know what to call them. Action works. So lets stick with that for a genre.

The one thing that does connect these films is a psychic power. So what's the next one gonna be since Telekenesis is now used and Teleportation is now used? Mind Reading? Oh, wait that was already done in that Mel Gibson movie, What Women Want!
