The whole plot of the Captain America Civil War movie was built on the impact of collateral damage. For another franchise, The Watchmen movie was full of super hero atrocities and even the destruction of entire cities.
Ehh, I'd say the MCU largely ignored the problem and barely scratched the surface in Civil War. Though The Watchmen did a pretty solid job, given the crazy power levels of some of them.
I mean, Watchmen is a criticism of the superhero genre.
It deliberately goes against established tropes.
Only the subject got dropped in favor of a personal drama between heroes. Honestly, they low keyed made Zemo the good guy.
The best superhero stories always have personal drama that parallels the high stakes battles. Also, the cause of the Zemo drama was what again? It was all about fallout from collateral damage.
The boys is much better at it
I don't know about better, but certainly more relevant to current events. You would not get The Boys without the disastrous social impacts of Trumpism.
Pretty sure the boys existed before Trump presidency.
Not the TV show. I don't know how faithful it is to the comic.
Hey, can't make an omelet...
