>>113987194The problem is not an agenda, it's the use of dated political slang in conjunction with bad designs and weak concepts.
Also it's not used for villains who can balance camp with menace, but heroes.
Protags can't be camp and fun because they have to remain relatable to the reader and be somewhat effective in their heroics.
Not to mention the campy villains we have today have been refined and evolved out of a primordial soup full of failed baddies that were too stupid even when the books were meant for children only.
But the worst offense they cause is by not being witty or challenging or timely.
They embody no ideal, no youth movement or greater concept.
They're just the rich white elite's idea of what America's POC youth is.
Which is to be a deeply identitarian soc-med influenced rube for the corporate oligarchy.
Interestingly the Champions are a far better take on youth activism and Gen-Z.
Which is why they get to be the catalyst for the event, and Nunu Warriors are the sideshow.
