I mean, superheroes and their stories are going to hold a place in popular culture for the foreseeable future. Because it’s an example of someone cutting through commercial products, like superhero teams and crossover universes, to expand their language, exposing us, the audience, to some different tone. So, it’s a real positive thing when someone manages to do it. And instead, they would act as a baseline for superheroes or other categories of popular media - That just isn’t the case.
