I have watched all the Marvel movies and a lot of the DC ones too. Me and my siblings would like to watch something fresh, and I would love to explore some movies that aren't super U.S.-centric (American military this, CIA/FBI that, it gets kind of old)

Are there any superhero franchises that are not American , or at least ones that aren't borderline propaganda for the U.S. military complex?

I would prefer English language options, but anything with good subtitles will work (it works for anime!)

edit: Amended the post, propaganda for the military is a bit of an exaggeration, given that the movies do sometimes criticise the U.S. army.

This is really stretching it, but Extraordinary? None of the characters are heroes, and everyone in the world has superpowers, so none of it is really super anymore. Oh, and the main character has no power whatsoever, which makes it a comedy. 😄 Also, it’s a TV series, not a movie franchise. At least it takes place in the UK, so at least there’s that. Also, Wikipedia calls it a superhero comedy, so I guess it counts…
