Yea, that's how I've seen it for a long time. Comic books, superheros, villains, all of it is just massively intertwined mythology. There's nothing wrong with it. Many of these characters will be around for our grandchildren's children to enjoy. But, as they already have been, and as nascent mythology tends to do, the stories and characters will be updated to fit the modern times. I kind of like watching that. For example, how after the golden age of comics, a lot of Marvel stories started dealing with the perils of modern technology, and the shrinking need for heros as well as increasing perceived need for controlling these heros. The Avengers story in the MCU is a great example of this, pulling on decades-old storylines about the relationship between a society and its heroes. I mean comics aren't even 100 years old yet, complaining that they are bad for culture is kind of silly because we have no empirical data to compare it to.
