Most conservatives love a good "Hero" movie. Liberals love a Power Fantasy. Superheroes score on both sides of the fence.

They also say it themselves over and over and over and over again, in the movies and in the comics they just come right out and say the most attractive feature: false gods.

Yep, but ones that are still human enough to sin. That gives unrepentant sinners the feelz.

Yes the "heroes with flaws that actually make them terrible people" and "villains with good intentions" are guaranteed to win over any sinner. The later marvel movies have been real strong on those two points.

A hero who self sacrifices to do the right thing no matter what, or a villain who is just evil because they are evil is "boring" and "unrealistic."

It's been a very very successful campaign. So successful that people don't think those two kinds of people even exist.
