It`s not only price, the other problem is finding the damn DVD even if you were willing to pay for it! While in the US you can get a stream for 5$ or so and/or can wait for ti to play for "free" on TV, in the rest of the world you are waiting forever for films, movies, music, etc. Imagine you are a real fan of Tron (is there such an animal?), willing to pay the equivalent of 200$ to see the movie the day it came out, or a month laterm or the day the DVD came out in the US, or the day it hit the instant stream services... But you couldn`t, unless you learn to use torrents and pirate the damn thing for almost nothing. The same urge that would make you pay stupid sums for it, will make you do things even if you think of them as illegal or immoral...
In the beginning, at least in the first comic, Superman couldn't fly, only use his super strength to leap tall buildings. So someone had to come up with the idea that what Superman was doing was flying... right? right? What's the difference between that and, say, inventing the light bulb!
I hate that Superman can fly, is affected by kriptonite, and has heat vision... Only his super strength is explained in the comic: Kripton was a larger planet and the people there where super athletes. So, of course the baby is a super athlete in a smaller planet...
