It’s definitely true sometimes. The tortured revolutionary that took it too far is a very common trope. A lot of the time, it’s just very wishy-washy, as you’d expect from a mass produced cash machine like Marvel. When you’re making so many stories, they’re not all going to be winners, for any number of reasons. The people that think Marvel is making propaganda are just looking for it. The movies just aren’t that good, they’re not hiding some sinister motive
Have you watched a superhero movie or read a comic book? Nearly every villain is just a violent person trying to change things and the hero fights to keep things the way they are.
I don’t understand people who push this narrative. It’s generally just… not true?

Ok but not ALL change is good. Conflating “we should improve society” with “let’s start giving people alien weaponry for cash” is asinine.
Never have I seen a villain trying to change things for the better. World domination, sure
