🚨 When “hero” stories become state-sanctioned gore loops
🔍 A hard look at the Superman mythos in 2025
As Hollywood gears up to rebrand Superman once again, it’s worth pausing and asking:
👉 Why does the world’s most iconic “savior” always seem to arrive with a kill count?
👉 Why are audiences being asked—again—to cheer for a near-omnipotent figure who levels cities in the name of "justice"?
👉 And why does this myth always seem to echo the foreign policy of certain real-world empires?
While Gaza buries its dead—58,000+ lives lost under rubble—DC offers a polished new spectacle where a US-backed super-nation "intervenes" in a weaker neighbor. Sound familiar?
This isn’t just escapism.
It’s narrative laundering.
It’s grooming the public to equate brute force with virtue.
The arc is always the same:
Devastation is “collateral.”
The hero is “conflicted.”
The victims are “unseen.”
And the audience is manipulated into identifying with power, not truth.
At what point do we stop mistaking dominance for morality?
đź’Ą Superman was never about helping the weak. He was always about teaching them to accept the strong.
If you're in tech, media, or governance—and you still don’t see how deeply narrative warfare shapes reality—it’s time to upgrade your threat model.
