Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.

THIS, EXACTLY THIS.

I find it strange to call today’s supers “heroes” when the least they do is help others. They look more like guys with superpowers beating each other up, more like Japanese Shonnen than anything else (mind you, I like Shonnen, but there’s a limit).

That’s why I love that in The Batman (2022) the climax is seeing Batman saving civilians, the same with James Gunn’s Superman.

I WANT TO SEE MORE SUPERHEROES BEING HEROIC, DAMN IT.
