>I'm so tired of the trope that the empire and emperor is always evil and that all authority that stems from any civilized system like that is bad.
>There is this prevailing myth in modern society that every person who ever held the position of monarch, emperor, or dictator was a complete lunatic and nobody can ever handle that power and there was no good leaders before the modern area, and so many storylines exist from fools who think that modern systems are perfect and not realizing why humanity used those other systems for so long, thus completely buying into that modern propaganda.
>The entire genre of capeshit is about super powered midwits maintaining the status quo at all costs, which is fitting since it is just propaganda and has partially been since their inception - the actual comics I mean. Sometimes the animated capeshit shows can squeeze out some good character moments or plot, but that is a lost art for most actual western comics
