I wound't go as far as to call invencible deconstruction of super-heros. Is much more a "what if" with tons of teen drama in the middle. At least the comics.
The memes are pretty funny;

Gabriel Cox
>wordgirl
Lmao
Hudson Jones
Why is Becky there
Logan Gonzalez
because the author is a normie that doesn't read comics, couldn't think of any example besides homelander, so he smuggled the other two in pad his point
Ayden Brown
You ever heard of a joke?
Jonathan Hughes
yeah anyone that calls invincible a deconstruction is completely off the mark, but the author is also an "ironic shitposter" that will simultaneously dickride a fad while pretending he was just trolling
Eli Barnes
because it filters fags like you
Jackson Gray
They're not deconstructions anymore, they're their own genres with superpowers simply being part of the premise.
You guys shit on the idea of evil Superman because it's become too prevalent, but did you ever stop to think about why? It's the same reason cultures obsessed over zombies (conspicuous consumption) and vampires (wealthy corrupters/kidnappers) and Frankenstein's monster (bad science): it taps into a strong collective anxiety.
In this case the anxiety is that the ones we trust/trusted, the ones in charge, the ones we put our faith in, the ones with the most power, the ones that preach the highest values, are utterly amoral monsters that play with us like toys.

It's still weird that it's only Superman, though, right?
Like, no other superhero gets that kind of deconstruction. There's no evil Batman or evil Ironman story we take as seriously as the evil Superman story. Hell, what about evil Spider-Man?
Josiah Wood
watchmen is pretty much evil batman - the comic
Colton Garcia
>watchmen is pretty much
No.
Noah Davis
What does the N stand for?
Jaxson Diaz
He unironically reads superhero comics, he's been one so long he doesn't even notice them.
Jose Baker
Because Wordgirl was trending on YouTube when this was made.
Mason Powell
Why do people absolutely seethe at "Muh deconstruction"
Do they get a dollar everytime they mention that evil superman is shitty and overdone?
Brayden Richardson
you're welcome to point out what port of this shit is supposed to be funny
I don't doubt it's a shitpost made without sincerity, but this doesn't immediately get to be considered a "joke"
Jordan King
In the last episode Becky's friend learns she's Wordgirl and loses her trust in Becky

now...this isn't THE last scene because it's a PBS show but it's still pretty heavy

I think people get tired of deconstruction because it's become a major theme through a lot of popular franchises, so it's hugely saturated in what people see nowadays. Every Marvel movie has snide quips about it, invincible/the boys are really well known, but as far as 'classic' comics goes, there's a dearth of it. If you looked at anything made in the last 5 years and wanted to find something made in the spirit of Batman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans (not Go), or 90s-era cartoons, you might find something. But you'd have to look hard.
Deconstruction is fine. When it becomes the norm to the point where it eclipses any other style of storytelling, it is no longer fine.

I think, since everyone always compares superheroes to westerns, we've reached that point where we started getting musical westerns and spaghetti westerns and other variations tot he standardized 40's/50's western
Look at it this way,you had your wilderness years of the genre (30's-40's, Stagecoach style westerns where the formula isn't set; the pre 2000's era of Superhero movies) The formula setting era (50's/60's westerns; the post X-men/Spider-man and especially the Nolan and MCU movies), now we're getting variations on the formula.
Granted this doesn't mean the genre will die like the western did in the 70s, the reason studios pulled the plug aroudn that time was studios not wanting "rural" media anymore.

Burnt Face Man isn't a deconstruction or even a parody its absurd humor.
Alexander Robinson
>men : wow dude you're spiderman ? far out, high five !
>women :
Matthew Evans
Well maybe you just don't get the tasteful nuance behind Burnt Face Man's story
John Ramirez
Capeshit is terrible and gritty deconstructions are legitimately the only decent superhero-related medias.
