It promotes a very simple worldview "good or bad",the moral standard of kids in the kindergarten.

And I think it also promotes the idea that we should wait for heros to save us, rather than doing the work to improve the world ourselves.

It also promotes the idea you need fantastical superpowers to be able to accomplish important things, which is disempowering to an average person.

Agree. I think it promotes the idea of depopulation by this mental shit as well.

I don't think this is a good point,even a conspiracy,it's too easy to notice what they want to promote,they even don't bother to use metaphor.

That villain character told everyone he wants the depopulation.
