What's something you used to like as a kid that you now, as an adult, realize had some pretty fucked up messaging? (hexbear.net)

For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.

Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

iirc captain america civil war was basically just about how the idea that ~~the police~~ superheroes should have any legal limitations on what they could or couldn't do was basically just wishy washy nonsense from naive liberals who didn't understand the gritty realities of being a superhero - basically just a modern day version of Dirty Harry but dressed up in stupid superhero leotards

(It's been a long time since I've watched the film though so maybe there's some section were they come out and say "actually, legal responsibilities for superheroes is good" in the end or something)
