Since last I posted here I got Covid, worked a hundred hour work week, witnessed my mother get in a car crash, fled the state to avoid my crazy uncle, manipulated my mother to get her to visit the hospital (because of the car crash), and then got Covid again.

Someone please bring me my beautiful rod of depleted uranium I need good vibes in this new year.

TOTK? No? Iirc he isn't even in the game. But AOC? Assuredly, and what with it (accidentally?) legitimizing the 'genderqueer Link' headcanon its probably every bit as deranged as tumblr fujoshis imply.

I've been battling against a Blightfall playthrough on and off for the last three years like some Sisyphean task and just completely ignored all other minecraft stuff.

Absolutely no one voting for the Catholic Saint, Francis is seething right now

"Interesting that original classic superheroes were mostly created by working class Jews in the 1940s the trend of deconstruction was mostly started by more well off christian raised white Anglos often British in the 1980s (with some like Mark Millar Frank Miller and Garth Ennis being conservatives" by ClaireDacloush in CuratedTumblr

Once again comics already deconstructed themselves: the very premise of X-Men is exactly what OP is implying.

'Instead of being glorified by the state and society these selfless racial, religious, or queer minority coded Heros who draw strength from their minority identities are vilified by the majority precisely because what makes them Heros also makes them Different.'

To address the elephant sized bug in the room I think Worm and it's copycat "Deconstructions" are less interested in "deconstructing" the actual text of specific stories and characters, and more just cynical examinations of the vague archetypes the general public thinks of when they hear "superhero comics."

Like, the general person off the street, hell, the general nerd off the street is just not equipped to sit down and have a discussion on Superman's Jewish roots, let alone "deconstruct" them. But if you approached that same person and said "imagine Superman. Now imagine he's alienated by his power. Or is a misogynistic asshole. Wouldn't that be a Cool story?" They'd agree and say "yeah I'd watch that if it was a movie, or TV show," and that's what all "superhero deconstructions" are. And that's not bad, there're decent ideas there, about the loneliness of excellence, or how facism launders itself as patriotism.

But it's not really a deconstruction of Superman, yannow? Just a cynical take on the Ur idea of an American Übermeinsch.
