This is why I hate all the superhero movies of the past 20 years. Their ubiquity has made people subconsciously believe someone else out there with super powers will come to save the day, so it's okay to continue sitting back helplessly and waiting.
I mean.....it worked in WWII.
See, there was this guy named Hitler, who wanted to take over the world, and kill the Jews.
Then two jewish teens from Cleveland created Superman.
So Superman goes off, fights the nazis, and was on his way to Hitler's house, to give him a lecture about why killing is bad, but Hitler heard Superman was coming. So he killed himself before Superman got there.
True story.
I think that’s why comic writers started going to stories with flawed non super powered heroes.
