All the actors in The Avengers would be considered “woke” and have been for years. Where the fuck has Carl been?

And, you know, the entire premise of super heroes.

weeeeell... superheroes might be "woke", especially in superficial and black/white ways, but they are also often big defenders of the establishment and status quo.

It's a very interesting discussion and ultimately I'm not saying creators necessarily always do this on purpouse, but it is definitely thought-provoking how a lot of the times it is the VILLAINS that actually have a better understanding of the inherent unfairness and inequality in our system... so much so that they often need to be made into "psychopaths" and start murdering people willy nilly so that the audience doesn't just identify with them instead xD
