There was a really interesting paper [1] being circulated a bit last week in the circles I frequent on a few sites that dug a bit deeper into this. The villains are often very superficial and the consequences of the ensuing fight is very rarely shown in the movie itself, and if it is mentioned only in passing. There is this 'cleansliness' to the fight scenes that give you all of the enjoyment while removing any of the dirty human tragedies from the context.

Really interesting read, and something that I have thought about quite a few times while seeing how popular these movies are nowadays
