So... almost every single super hero then? Have you even watched any of these movies?
CA Civil War is all about authoritarianism and how much freedom we should trade for safety. Dr Strange grapples with a death he caused in self defense and uses his mind to save the day. Captain America represents the pinnacle of self sacrifice, and Iron Man's entire journey is about him eschewing his old ways and becoming selfless. Beyond this, they've done a good job of making less one dimensional villians lately.
And yes, there are fights and super powers. Lots of them. People like action and mysticism, and they always will. That doesn't make them dumb, get over it.
- papito 7y agoAn actual superhero universe would be much closer to Amazon's The Boys, I would argue.
- EpicEng 7y agoI agree, but why do you think that matters? "Fantasy" is a genre for a reason. We don't always need or want 'realistic' interpretations. There was no mention of realism in your comment. You argued that we should be emphasizing other traits in these movies, and I argue that we already are.
