They're supposed to be inspirational but they're actually pure suicidefuel when you think about it, because the entire concept of the superhero virtually oozes blackpills.
Consider what a superhero actually is. What actually MAKES somebody a superhero? Bravery? Talent? Hard work and dedication?
Nope.
Being a superhero is all about inherent power. About unearned talents.
The reason Superman can walk into a burning building without fear isn't because he's more brave than you, but rather because he was simply born borderline indestructible. He doesn't NEED to fear fire. A so-called normal person who did the same is 10000000x more brave, but nobody would give a shit.
Speaking of which, that brings us to the second blackpilled aspect of superheroes, which is hero worship. Everybody loves Superman. Even though he's just some lucky bastard who didn't spend a day of his life earning his talents. He was just born a superpowered alien. And everybody loves him for it.
*Superman saves a foid falling from a skyscraper*
Normies: "OMG SO BRAVE SO NOBLE U RISKED UR LIFE!!!!!! "
*Normie dipshit donates kidney to a sick person*
Normies: "Yawn...anybody can do that. "
I just fucking hate everything about superheroes. They're the ultimate example of normies worhshipping people for unmeritocratic reasons.
Over for non-superherocels.
