...is the text AI generated? I feel like it doesn't actually say anything. Like, the light-sabre analogy is interesting. But it's inchoate–we're never shown examples of hollow Marvel symbols.

I just watched the video essay. The text of this article is composed of cherry picked statements from the longer form video.
This is actually one of the few times I recommend watching the video over reading the article. It’s 30 minutes long, introduces some new ideas, and supports it all with many examples.
The entire article reads like the introduction to a real essay. I scrolled past the related comments thinking the real meat would be below, only to find the comments. Marvelization of criticism, anyone?
> I feel like it doesn't actually say anything.
It doesn't.
I haven't seen a Marvel movie since before COVID.
