  • Off the top of my head the villain in one of the Iron Man films was opposed to US war crimes and imperialism, New New Spider Man 1 had the Vulture as a villain whose deal was Stark and the wealthy were screwing people over.

    In Batman Begins 3 Bane is a pastiche of anarchism/anti-capital ideas until revealed that that’s a play by Talia.

    Well intentioned extremist is a pretty common villain trope in general.







  • All news will be biased, but a news source that doesn’t make it’s bias clear (probably for general status quo) can be harder to pick out where it’s bias is influencing what it says, or doesn’t, and how it says it and the weight it gives to what.

    To hit at the root of your question: most people further left than Centre Left want to see large systemic change to the systems we live in. Centrists are generally happy with the systems in theory and think that they need small tweaks for better results, not wholesale root and branch change to economic structures.
