@waitworry 3) stuff from the 90s also had like unique superhero worlds that felt very comic booky, Batman 89's Gotham is obvious, but even Mystery Men's aesthetic is very unique, it's not just "what if superheroes lived in our world", it was "this is a superhero world"
I think to me that's the main difference, current superhero stuff is trying very hard to be "realistic superheroes", superheroes in the "real world" in real cities talking like "real" people and less like people who want to be heroes but people who have superpowers and are hanging out and occasionally fight something (or they're just evil), but to me "superhero" isn't just having superpowers, it's a genre with its own conventions and worlds, and the 90s stuff, comics, games, tv, movies, feels like it captures it more
