It's the usual old attractive idea of 'someone should arrive and fix this' - superhero, supervillain, strong leader, elected authority, the police, your mom ...
I can't really understand if the writer actually would want this to happen, or if his use of the term 'supervillain' means it's more of a tongue-in-cheek sigh of despair? Not sure what to make of it. I can relate with what he writes, this heavy feeling of despair. Just don't like to dwell in it myself too much. Maybe the writer needs a dose of punk to cheer him up a bit.
