I’m not making prescriptions, man, I’m just telling you how people use the word. You have to think about how people use hyperbole.
Mid is often used in reference to things that are culturally popular, and so is a way to denigrate them. In that way, the person is saying “actually, Marvel’s not that good,” or “eh, it’s not really worth your time,” or “you seem kinda stupid for liking trash media so much.”
In other contexts, ‘mid’ can mean ‘average’ just fine: “Not good, not bad. Worth one go around, maybe.” That’s why I said it does and it doesn’t.
It wasn’t intended to be either a slight or a compliment.
If you ain’t first, you’re last? Nah. That don’t make no sense.

People are reading something into it that I didn’t intend, so I changed it. I’m not arguing about how other people use it or saying you are wrong.
