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.

There's a bunch of Ultraman movies of varying quality and connectedness. Likewise with Toho Godzilla which is more superhero than Kaiju at a certain point. If you haven't seen them I maintain that the DC Animated Universe is superior to the MCU and DC. Finally there's Invincible and Harley Quinn which are both at least parodying modern superheroes
