    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

      Captain America respects the law, it’s kind of his thing. Not saying he’s never broken a law, but it’s not his first choice. Unless it’s the laws of physics, but that’s a convention of the genre which he’s upholding.
