I have watched all the Marvel movies and a lot of the DC ones too. Me and my siblings would like to watch something fresh, and I would love to explore some movies that aren’t super U.S.-centric (American military this, CIA/FBI that, it gets kind of old)

Are there any superhero franchises that are not American, or at least ones that aren’t borderline propaganda for the U.S. military complex?

I would prefer English language options, but anything with good subtitles will work (it works for anime!)

edit: Amended the post, propaganda for the military is a bit of an exaggeration, given that the movies do sometimes criticise the U.S. army.

      Legit might be the best segue from Marvel/DC movies; the setting is exactly based on (and highly cognizant of) American comic book heroes with a distinctly Japanese twist. All Might even serves as a genuinely fascinating portrait of what Superman might look like if he was just some human and not a practically immortal alien.
