I think it depends on the style.
Marvel films want us to believe that their stories are happening in the world at large, today. Unlike many people, I have issue with that in certain films.
DC films aren't happening in the real world today. They may take some elements but for the most part, it's a Comic Book world. That may be why people don't like them as much as Marvel but who the hell knows?
Star Wars had set a decent set of ground rules in The Original Trilogy.
Rogue One followed those rules. The prequels kind of expanded upon those (The Rule of Two, Midichlorians, Virgin Births, etc.) but it wasn't too crazy.
The Force Awakens mostly stayed within those confines but eliminated The Sith and expanded upon the Empire's weaponry.
The Last Jedi? Holy moly.
But after today's discussion, I'm looking forward to seeing it again at 1:45 PST in a completely different theater. Hopefully the experience will be better.
