Arguably, he made these points better in... Watchmen.

And the last point seems to be being made quite ably by Lindelof in... Watchmen.

Beside the HBO adaptation of Watchmen, I'm also watching the Amazon adaptation of The Boys right now. It addresses the übermensch-worship-culture even more directly. Highly recommended (though not as highly as Watchmen).

"The Boys" even hits this directly: (not a direct quote as I go from memory) "The people like feeling safe, they don't want to know what problems sups are causing. They prefer ignorance.)"
