    Since spiderman was used as an example I’ll list the villains for the newer spider man films, you tell me where the films are promoting the status quo:

    Homecoming: a group of criminals who stole incredibly advanced weapons and used them to terrorize communities in new york.

    Far from home: a guy gets really pissed that some technology that he made for a company was property of the company, starts endangering civilians to make him look like a hero.

    No way home: Classic spider man villains from other universes come to this Spiderman’s universe, spider man tries to help them improve themselves and there lives

    This comic is just a “quit having fun” but with leftist pandering

      Homecoming: Blue collar workers are told they’re fired and replaced by billionaire Tony Stark’s new government backed company, Haliburton. I mean Defence Force or something. System failed them so they said fuck it.

      Far From Home: Billionaire’s company steals invention of his employee and passes it off as his own. Makes more billions. Dozens of the employees quit to support employee’s new plans of taking back his tech and usurping Billionaire’s world dominance. System failed them so they said fuck it.

      No Way Home: Literally just a movie about how Spiderman and the system failed these “villains” who really just needed support with mental health and navigating a shit system.

        Yes and it’s also about how all that doesn’t justify killing people.

        I’ll give you the first two, even if neither one was at all constructive or even radical about it. (Neither of them were really trying to change the system, just to abuse it for themselves after being told they couldn’t succeed inside of it).

        The third one is practically the antithesis of this comic.
