    Oh for sure. Superhero content just reinforces an infantalized mindset that’s a ripe bed for fascism.

    People get a hard-on for “strongmen” that break the law to get the “bad guy” because the government is too weak, evil, innefectual, yada-yada

      You should watch The Boys. It’s a superhero show that addresses this exact issue. It’s nothing like the Marvel universe, the superheroes are pretty sinister in this universe.
