Whoa there friend. It’s just an article about how superhero media both reflect and adapt to changing attitudes on Law Enforcement. Didn’t you watch The Boys? And wasnt Black Panther great? Nobody is banning superheroes, relax lol.

Not all, just the ones they don’t like are “PROBLEMATIC” and need to be replaced and/or changed.
the Punisher already ripped a Punisher sticker off a cop car and told the shocked officers that they REALLY shouldn’t be looking up to him lol. The Time article mentioned this. “We’re not the same. You took an oath to uphold the law. You help people. I gave that up a long time ago. You don’t do what I do. Nobody does.” Punisher is typically characterized as a self-aware serial killer who hunts bad guys in his best stories so that is actually in character. Not exactly Dr. Doom crying during 9/11 or anything.
Batman gets a pass because A) Frank Miller is only writer insane enough to LITERALLY embrace the “Batman is a fascist” theory, B) Bats has the coolest rogue gallery ever, C) everyone realizes the entire premise is inherently ridiculous
Disney is trying to push Shang-Chi as a big MCU franchise in China but Weibo is already pissed because they found out Shang-Chi’s dad was FU MANCHU in the comics, which is sort of like making Jim Crow the father of T’Challa lmao. So yeah, I could see any old Chinese characters getting replaced by new ones
