Can you really call something a fad when it's been going since the late 1990's? The craze started with X-Men and Sam Raimi's Spiderman films after all and then you had Nolan's Batman films that really elevated everything and now you've got the likes of Black Panther and inevitably Joker (which, ironically, Scorsese was attached to for a very long time) that are and will make waves at the oscars.

I don't think super hero films will ever die down now, the comics never have and the films are an evolution of that. Disney and Marvel have created a machine that can keep going and going now.

Scorsese's comments aren't much different to the old guard's disdain for Netflix and the like, Scorsese nor his counterparts can get with the times.
