    Batman and Ironman are both multi zillionaires and they are part of the resistance in their stories. Of course, Musk is part of the problem, but it’s easy to make the rich guy the hero of the story.

      ? They fought on the side of law and order not any resistance

        Yeah, Iron Man even pointedly sided with the government during the Marvel Civil War.

      I’m sorry, have you actually read or watched anything about them? They are not part of “the resistance”, they actively promoted the system. Batman doesn’t fight the government except when it crosses into criminal activity(ex. Amanda Waller). Iron Man(note that his name is two words), also sides with the government to maintain a stable society based on agreed upon laws.

      This just reminds me of a quote something like “the stories we tell says a lot about our values. The marvel movies are about superheroes who show up to save the world, then go back to their day jobs”

      Ironman is at the top of society, and he sometimes uses his enormous influence to change it. Batman works from the outside in parallel to the police

      Both of them primarily support the status quo. They aren’t the rebellion, they’re the guardians of the system. They appear when they are needed and do what they need to do before sliding back into their daily life
