I honestly can't see Nazi Brownshirts as soyboy marvel or dc movie fans.

Maybe he meant superheroes as they were before they were remade for an emasculated, woke generation?

I would say the new perfect, always right no matter what terrible thing they do, woke female superheroes are even closer to fascist ideals than the originals.

Not a surprise though, when you consider how much of woke ideology seems to devolve, sooner or later, into "do what I say or else, and never you mind what I'm doing."

I'm sure the German children were made to believe the Nazi Browshirts were the super heroes. That is how fascism works. You need the people kick back, stop thinking for themselves, and trust in some valiant good-guy, who is dedicated against the bad-guys. The good-guys against evil those bigots not bending over backwards for LGBTP are just the type of vague social divide needed as cover to deem opponents evil.
