Why don't superheroes save individual people anymore in superhero movies?

My favorite superhero stories are the ones where the hero is in the middle of an arc about some personal shit in his life. And they resurrect some two-bit d-list villian that the hero has to fight, or maybe it's just some thugs or something. But the hero is really just going through the motions of his crime-fighting superhero stuff while he maintains an internal dialogue trying to sort through the problems he's dealing with in his civilian life.

I have this hope that like Judd Apatow or somebody would get to make a movie along those lines. The internal dialogue thing probably wouldn't translate too well to film. But I'd just like to see something where it's really more about the guy behind the mask and all the superhero stuff is almost tangential, serving only as a foil or a distorted reflection of the hero's human being issues, which I suppose are also somewhat a product of the unique pressures and responsibilities a super vigilante has to deal with.

Ant-Man kind of did this, and you see it some in Nolan's batman movies. The Marvel Netflix stuff is probably the closest we've got to this, but I'd love to see it in a feature film.
