The whole premise is basically ubermensch shit but we could get past that
They have a lot of scenes and plots about how the democratically elected are just too stupid and the strong need to take matters into their own hands
But most of all, every other fucking marvel movie is this:
Ubermensch #3: Wow, Shmartin Shluther King Junior and Shmernie Shanders want to end wealth inequality and provide health care to poor people? But isn't that literally impossible to do??
Shmartin Shluther King Junior: *shoots underling for no reason* it's only impossible if you're unwilling to activate THE TORMENT CRYSTAL!!!!
Please Don't Improve Society Somewhat Because That Would Activate the Torment Crystal, a cautionary tale by PMC lanyard liberals for credulous consumers.
It's easier for liberals to imagine demigods with superpowers solving society's problems than it is for society to change.
When do they do that? The capeshit I've seen restores the status quo.
I correct myself, then: they maintain society's problems.
Exaaaaactly, they'll build an orphanage but not fling Elon Musk into the sun
