Wat? Superhero movies are all about sacrifice. Almost every superhero is practically dedicating their life to serving the public good. Half the superhero movies are about how things only work when we come together and cooperate. Maybe I mis-understood your point?

I think they're only superficially about sacrifice. Look what you gain in exchange: apotheosis. The child-god in all of us wants to be recognized as special, exceptional, unique.
