    Yes it is, despite all the nay-sayers on here. The super-creep genre has always been reactionary and protective of the status quo.

      Are you sure you’re not being reactionary? The target of the comic isn’t the corporation making the movies. It’s attacking the people that watch these movies… people who are largely working class. Seems like an elitist anti working class kind of comic to me.

        I’d also put a little blame on lazy writers who want the villains to be relatable so they just make some extremists for otherwise good causes, look at posion ivy who could be easily just be in it for money and power but often push environmental aspects and that’s one thing I think the other guy might be getting at

        Yes.

        No, it doesn’t. It literally just demonstrates how we are swamped by this pro-status quo propaganda. That is most definitely not what an “elitist anti-working class” narrative looks like at all. If you want to see what an “elitist anti-working class” narrative looks like, go watch any Batman movie.
