    One of the worst pieces of Marvel media made in the past decade was Marvel's Inhumans, which featured a cast of protagonists who were monarchs over a slave society on the moon. One in which people randomly get a superpower at a certain age, or they get nothing. The ones who get nothing are forced to work in the mines for the rest of their lives.

    The rulers of this society were treated sympathetically by the show, and the villain was the person with royal blood but no superpower who overthrew the rulers to free the slaves.

    They had to do something so that he wasn't the obvious hero, so they just made him random kill and torture people for literally no reason. And of course use the revolution as a pretense for grabbing power because any capeshit media depicting revolutions must do so negatively (Killmonger).
