KamikazePotato posted... You can say that's problematic as the inherent framework of superheroes stories is authoritarian-leaning, but that's a different discussion entirely. Theres an absolutely incredible Steven Moffat quote about how the Doctor from Doctor Who bucks this trend: A lot of our heroes depress me. But when they made this particular hero, they didn't give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or a X-Wing Fighter, they gave him a phone box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower, or pointy ears, or Heat Ray, they gave him an extra heart. They gave him two hearts and that is an extraordinary thing. There will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the Doctor. More superheroes like the Doctor! Incidentally in one late Peter Capaldi episode he literally blows up space capitalism.
