In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?
As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.
Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.
Not everyone who dies becomes a ghost. Ghosts are people who can’t pass on due to having unfinished business.
No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?
You can’t call something a graphic novel if it’s only one page long though, so what do you call it?
This is gonna get worse

Team Magma is at it again.
You’ve got to share the link.
If you’re dead then why does it matter? You aren’t using it anymore.
A few of them already do believe this.
More like it’s still canon, but heavily retconned. FRLG removed some of the early weirdness and made it more consistent with the others, and Let’s Go removed what little they missed with the first set of Kanto remakes. Both versions of Johto are direct sequels to Kanto, everyone important in the region shows up to the world tournament in B2W2, and Red and Green/Blue appear as adults in Sun/Moon’s post game. It’s just the references to real world countries and animals and stuff that they sweep under the rug and say “You didn’t see that. That didn’t happen.”
We’ve existed since the 80’s. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.
Yes, but I’m autistic so whatever.

Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here’s a rationalwiki article about her.
Super villains are usually trying to take over the world or rob banks and shit. That’s like saying Jeffery Dahmer was just trying to have a snack.
