It is childish, hoping for something to fail because you dont like it is very crude, self-absorbed and childish.
I mean for example, I don't care for The Walking Dead TV show. But do I want it to fail just because I dont like it? No. Thousands of people do like it and me wanting it to die because I dont like it would be silly.
Actually rather than childish it is logical. Why would I want something that I dislike to succeed?

Yes, he feels the icy touch of fear, but he is not cowed. He is Superman!"
