Stopping before the Premise section would have been a good idea on my part.

He probably didn't expect that "I'll eat your shit" screencap to go as viral as it did, it is fucking everywhere. I've even seen boomers on Facebook posting it.

He's probably with his agent rn trying to figure out how to stop being known as the "I'll eat your shit" guy.

Get cast as Albert Wesker or replace Pedro as Mr Fantastic.

It's funny looking back at the original deconstruction of superheroes when within the span of a year superhero comics went from this

The word wasn't "deconstruction", but I think it's more like "fallen from grace", which I think it's or could be an interesting take on certain superheroes. Batman Beyond starts with a Batman who's so desperate that he had to use a gun, Spiderman 2 shows what happens when Peter Parker reconsider if being a hero is truly worth of abandoning his personal life, and you can even say the Archangel goes through it when he joins Apocalypse after being desperate for losing his wings. But the goal of this type of stories is to show that even the noblest of people can have setbacks and fall into temptation, only to reconsider and going back to what's important. These stories come from decades ago and it's not a new thing that they're making up. We can even say that we've had a lot of superheroes who aren't precisely nice people. I mean, Wolverine is not precisely a nice person to be around and he's done a lot of questionable things, yet he's always there to do the right thing.

The modern approach to "deconstruction" comes from many writers simply being unable to understand that noble people exists or that they aren't interesting. I guess that comes from their inability of trying to improve themselves, due to the current push for telling people that they're all perfect just as they are. They want to be heroic, but they don't want to stop being assholes, so that's how they portray many superheroes. Or worse, they "deconstruct" characters to the point of changing all they are just because they're projecting their own negative views on what they represent, Charles Xavier being one of the biggest examples I can think of.
