Modern creators are all about deconstruction.

That doesn’t lend itself to traditional super hero tales, which are basically modern interpretations of ancient mythology.

It’s hard to tell morality stories when you have none.

They think that it is creative to tear down other’s icons if not appropriate them (making Thor a woman, making Iron Man black).

It proves they’re a cultural failure. They can’t create anything new. They can’t build on existing stories. NO, just the “shock” of tearing down someone else’s mythos and saying, “There, I’m better than you because I could attack it from all these angles.”

Deconstructionism is the appropriate term. The woke writers of today call it “Subverting Expectations” and treat it like their only moral compass (unless the subversion contradicts the narrative, then stick to the narrative). Which is why we are seeing mainstream, big budget, productions about villains. It's why season 8 of GoT sucked so bad, why the latest StarWars movies sucked so bad, why pretty much every form of entertainment is becoming a battleground of ideology. Until recently we have clearly been losing. Leftist ideologues infest every major form of entertainment from comics to sports. If they can't control the production they control the advertising and marketing, and if they can't control that they control the critics and awards. All they care about is control (really it's about power), and that is ultimately what the war is about. The good news is that these are not problems without solutions, the bad news is that most people can't even see the problem.
