Rocky IV effectively ended the Cold War two years prior and Superman IV was on the bandwagon.

The face of war changes and so does the response. There were times in media where we saw the WWII approach used to portray the American role and it felt dead wrong. Superman operating in black and white or even gray can’t help but draw critics... based on measuring him by old respnoses imo. If I had a chance I’d use him to look not at how win the war became end the war, but what comes after that.

Renouncing citizenship was something pretty interesting and powerful because he’s basically Steve Rogers’ dad. But pretty dishonest to the path of the comics as they are.
