Yeah, it definitely feels like the superheroics are... incidental, and the scope of the world just keeps ballooning more and more. Both literally (we're up to other planets being trivial to visit), and just conceptually - with aliens, and demons, and supernaturals (remember when those were a thing? How long has it been?), and it feels like there's not really a solid plan. Just skipping from concept to concept long enough for people to go "ooh, look at how cool this setting piece is, very clever"
