Superheros also just preach that you have to maintain the status quo, never tackle the root of the problem, just violently attack the symptoms and that only a small few special people can save you, so everybody else just has to get out of the way and cheer.
Disney kids movies aren’t about super heroes usually. But even Lion King is how you can’t escape adult responsibilities and have to continue the cycle.
You’re talking about Disney movies. Intended for children. They’re not gonna go shoot someone in the head because they’re responsible for denied health insurance.
Why are you expecting kids movies to be an accurate intricate commentary of society in the first place?
It’s movies, for kids. Most people grow out of that. But some keep being obsessed with “superheroes”
That sounds like the villains’ motive in My Hero Academia. A good series about superheroes, and what it means to be a hero.

Also saying you need to be a rich prick to get anything done
V for Vendetta
Yeah the exception that proves the rule but still, anarchy-man is cool
While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it’s not true though.
The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else
Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There’s many more.

You forgot the peasants cheering the birth of their new predator
What I see from farmers and the current usa president in my feed, that part was actually damn close to the truth.
Also the very much incest.

Because what kids watch will influence their sense of morality
I like Black Adam, he kills colonisers
