Yep, it's also worth noting that the Avengers organisation is infiltrated, and the actual superheroes end up fighting against the organisation they started.

Spider Man in particular is often at odds with the authorities.

And that's not even mentioning the new season of Daredevil, which could not under any circumstances be described as "pro-cop".

It can still end up as a conservative power fantasy. Kevin Sorbo invaded Space Iraq to stop space weapons of mass destruction while being hated by the government he tried to build.

Is that why I thought it was so shit? I was somewhat tempted to rewatch and see if it was any better than when I watched it on broadcast TV and episodes seemed out of order.
