Rewatching the cartoon of my childhood - Justice League.
>In the alternate reality, Lex Luthor is elected as US President, kills Flash, and threatens to start a nuclear war.
>Alternate Superman is pushed over the edge, assasinates Luthor, and together with his comrades violently takes over USA (and implicitly, entire world).
>From what little we saw about this alternate reality, it had turned into Georgeorwell1984 police state, but crime (both ordinary and superhuman) was eradicated and it's implied all wars had stopped.
>"Justice Lords" find a way to travel between realities and lure the Justice League from the "prime" universe into their one and capture them, then move on to taking over the "prime" universe as well
>Justice League escapes the Justice Lords' universe and returns home
>Superman STRIKES A DEAL WITH PRIME UNIVERSE'S LUTHOR by organising his pardon from all his previous crimes in exchange for a weapon that defeats all of Justice Lords at once
>The episode ends with Superman picking up the fallen American flag, symbolising that "democracy" had won
>LITERALLY the next episode immediatedly begins with the scene of a squad of American soldiers chasing an unspecified "warlord" in an unspecified Middle Eastern country
Are you fucking kidding me, writers? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
