Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.
cRazi_man@europe.pub 3 weeks agoJessica Jones season 1 was good in this regard. A problem and a villain that can’t easily be handled by just throwing punches.
The Watchmen is another good one that has less focus on just punching bad guys.
Completely agree that it is problematic that when your basic story is about super strong individuals, then the only story you will write is about problems that can be solved with violence. No one wants to watch a movie of the Hulk doing shifts to rotate a turbine to generate clean electricity.

I did enjoy Jessica, so yeah, there are a few bright spots in the genre. The last but one Joker movie was worth watching too, but… so many Batman movies that seem kind of the same.
