I think there was a time when "Comic book superheroes are modern mythology" was a good and useful corrective to a certain kind of kneejerk snobbery toward the subject and I think that time ended well before MCU Phase II, much less Phase III

Like if someone shows you around their hometown and says "Oh yeah that's where John Henry died racing the steam drill" They're not saying that as a "John Henry fan", they're not talking about something they chose to watch for entertainment and assume you did too

It's just a fact about the world Everyone who grows up here knows that that's the rock face John Henry was hammering when he died They may not *believe* it, they may be fully aware it's bullshit and three other towns have the same story
