America. I come to destroy your comic book culture. We, immigrants, are ruthless this way. A thread.
Superman is a conservative fairy tale that pushes the stupid notion that everything good and beautiful comes from small town "heartland", where wholesome values and "real American way" can be learned. Only true heroes of this Nibelung paradise can save the world.
Batman is capitalist propaganda that brainwashes kids into worshiping billionaires as Ubermenschen who are doing their civic duty by keeping inner city poor oppressed and repeatedly punched. Capitalists are right to be angry, because the rest of us are evil and disappointing.
Spider-Man is nothing more than a teenage wet dream whose entire story is about chemically induced penis enlargement. Nothing that is done or conceived of in this tale is about anything other than dealing with hormones in the least productive way possible.
Black Panther: "We, comics books, apologize to black people for completely writing them out of our universes. To make up for this, here is your own hero, completely isolated from white society on a literal reservation as far away from America as possible. You are welcome."
I am 90% sure that Iron Man was written by Ayn Rand, because it's even worse than Batman in worshiping the rich, private property and the cult of loner assholery. At least Batman, unlike this piece of shit, had one redeeming quality: nearly suicidal depression.
X-Men starts out pretending that it's an anti-racist screed only to demonstrate that, actually, the racially oppressed totally have it coming, and the onus is absolutely on them to defeat the radicals in their ranks.
Hulk is just an apology for child tantrums that white privileged America feels entitled to whenever things don't go exactly the way it wants.
Wonder Woman is a BDSM fantasy and absolutely nothing else.

And do I even need to tell just how incredibly Nazi Thor is?
The Punisher is what every single white nationalist gun junkie literally jerks off to. This is what the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Derek Chauvins in our midst get to reenact, to the salivating adulation of trailer park psychopaths and suburban warriors.
Finally, you may deny it, but you know perfectly well that the only way Batman can keep his identity secret is by having an army of construction workers (among hundreds of others) buried under the Bat Cave.
The entire superhero universe is built around celebrating psychopathy.
