Going to the movies is a one-and-done deal. Pay the ticket, go in, watch ZIP ZAP POW for 2.5 hours, you've been entertained. If you're interested in more, the rest of the movies are cheaply available. If you're curious about the lore, there's any number of bloggers/youtubers who will tell you it all in GREAT detail. Meanwhile, if you want a comic story, you pay your money...and wait an entire year for it to finish. Or shell out for trades. And of course, there's the inevitable crossovers and special events linking you to new comics to buy. And the aforementioned complete change due to artist/editors leaving. And that's after you've decided which of the 10 Spiderman or 17 Batman comics to collect. So yeah, much easier to be a movie fan.
