It's like what would happen if a really insecure nerdy kid suddenly got massively famous and was surrounded by yes-men yet still felt like he had to look "cool" and take on "haters."
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
WOW is coming this afternoon to hook us up a new cable package
A lot of it has these overtones of "comics are totally for mature adults"
People who want their superhero comics to seem "mature" tend to produce less mature work than those who just want to tell a good story about someone who can, y'know, fly or something.
They think "mature" means something like The Goddamn Batman, with lots of sex and violence, because that's what dumbass 12-year-olds think "mature" means.
Superhero comics: We must tell relevant stories by stuffing in rape, school bombings, and brutal murder.
But Spider-Man can't be married and have a kid because that's tantamount to him growing old and dying, which we Cannot Have
But not everyone can be writing Animal Man, having a protagonist with actual domestic concerns and political undertones deeper than "'MURRICA!" No, no, we can't have comics written by adults that actually address what being an adult means! That would ruin everything. Forever.
As has been pointed out, if Doom was seriously offended by 9/11, he would have Osama Bin Laden's corpse in front of the whitehouse lawn by the next day.
It's not entirely uncharacteristic though. It's not like Galactus shedding a tear.

They don't really understand Disney is more than stuff that just gets the Disney lable slapped all over it.
