Because the superhero movies are thinly veiled propaganda for billionaire exceptionalism. Empowering the average person is disruptive to your peasant caste you’re not allowed to talk about openly. It is such an engrained cultural taboo you can’t even register what I am saying as real, despite it being so obvious that there are classes of people completely disassociated with life as you know and live it. The only exceptional people are the exceptionally greedy and exceptionally unethical. Ms. Oversteegen is a hero like Luigi, someone that stands above our station in life. Such stories are not told or popularized much at all.
There’s one ad I saw where someone asks one guy riding a fancy car, “So what’s your super power?” and the guy replies with, “Being rich” and the immediate cuts to epic action scenes. Just a tiny bit on the nose. 🙄
Empowering the average person is disruptive to your peasant caste
Interestingly enough, I think it’s more useful to make people want to be and believe they can be rich. They’ll actively defend the wealthy if they see them as future peers. I mean, I think that’s why even lowly MAGAts defend tax breaks for the rich even if very few of them make over 100k.
That’s Batman’s superpower. Affleck is the Batman that says it.
His wealth increases every incarnation, essentially his wealth implied to be extreme, even by our standards. And one of the things he’s constantly questioned about is if his funds are going to things that have real outcomes.
He, himself, is a vigilante capable of forensics that police are unwilling or unable to do. And throughout the comics, at least the modern ones, it often talks about how his lawlessness is a problem, and his approach at crime fighting is entirely flawed and has extreme consequences for only adhering to his line of never killing.
To say that comics are thinly veiled propaganda is of billionaires is disingenuous to the entire medium. It would like be calling sci-fi thinly veiled propaganda that the elite consists of scientists making up words.
Oh, not at all! The civil rights underwriting for all the comics is unmistakable.
My comment was more about the video ad alone and how egregious it was and yet everyone down in the comments ate that up. I felt so uncomfortable reading them.

Comics can also be empowering to the downtrodden.
