In general, I don't really care about what other people think when categorizing and criticizing movies and movie genres. If someone believes that superhero movies are for children, more power to them.
In the case of the OP where someone actually brought it up to you, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably just ask your coworker the question "Why do you care?"
He's annoyed that people are excited about a subject he isn't, but nobody is forcing him to hear grown men swoon over a fight scene in the Avengers. He could either state why he believes the movie is for children (and wreck the conversation for the others) or he can ignore the conversation out right and move on. But complaining about things that other people have interest in generally shows a close minded person.
I am not too big on super hero movies myself, but if someone is talking about them, the last thing I think to myself is that grown men have no business discussing these movies.
Additionally, if I had a specific problem with a movie (maybe with a plot hole or lazy writing), I've brought it up and then started a debate on the movie's choices. That way, I could criticize something but be part of a conversation instead of the guy in the corner condemning those who are not mature enough to stand with him alone in said corner.
