It's justI would posit that his attacks on old folktales and heroes is another one of his backhanded dismissals of national identity. He has said that he wants to move intona post-national world and these tales are very specific to their nations as a source of pride and culture. He's basically saying "Robin Hood, Gilgamesh, Hercules? So what? The Hulk and Iron Man are the same thing really." He wants it to be to the point where capeshit made by transnational corporations can cancel out these old traditional stories and errode one more bit of nationalism. It also partly explains why he has so much disdain for Zach Snyder's King Arthur project that's supposed to be more faithful.

That just sounds like objectivism with extra steps.Thinkers - People like Him, who are calm, logical and science-driven in their every move, thus they are the future and practically living demigods.
Believers - Everyone else, These "people" are ignorant, dumb and accept no truths except what's in their heads and conforms to their biases and are therefore evil, backwards and destructive.
Funny thing, Bob's refusal to accept anything outside liberal/corporatist dogma means that by his own rules, he is a believer, who thinks he's a thinker, and will never notice the bitter, bitter, irony.
