You guys are missing the point. It's not just shit entertainment, it's a demoralization psyop. Think about the core message being beamed directly into your brain:
>the world is complex and scary
>you, a normal person, are completely helpless to do anything about it
>only a special class of people can save you
And who are these saviors?
>literal demigods
>billionaire tech geniuses (basically Elon Musk, a total DARPA shill)
>secret government agencies with black budgets and DUMBs
The entire point is to make you feel small, inadequate, and childlike. It instills a sense of learned helplessness. Why try to change anything in your own life or community when you're just a background character waiting for Iron Man or some spook agency to solve the big problems? It keeps you as docile cattle waiting for the next spectacle.
