Me too, I kinda outgrew it as a child because I realized the villain never actually got what he deserved and the hero would rather let him menace society than do the dirty work of killing him.
That's certainly another subversive aspect of the super hero genre. It promotes pacifism and brainwashes the public into accepting the false idea that no criminal should be executed, regardless of how heinous their crimes are. This concept has certainly been spread in other areas of society, as the death penalty has largely been abandoned all across the West, instead replaced with life long imprisonment, or release on "good behavior", for crimes that should rightfully get them executed, because they can no longer be trusted to live among the people, who are now charged with paying for their basic needs for the rest of their lives.
It's also a very feminized mindset, that if we forgive and cuddle the villains enough, they'll be cured, and if we execute someone for their crimes, we (somehow) are condemned, because killing an aggressor is (somehow) the same as them killing you.
It's also connected to the complete demonization of collectivism (for White people) and for self/mutual defense. We aren't allowed to collectivize, to espouse for and enforce our collective will, or to protect our own neighbors and people from threats. If we truly loved our neighbors and people, we'd properly punish and stop all threats against them. But, collectivism is bad according to mainstream right wing, so espousing for our own, enforcing the will of our own, or protecting our own is forbidden.
