They could probably do a whole ep on how the mental health industry and the narratives around it blew up in a way that still heavily reinforced class distinctions. It mirrors what happened overseas with the way PTSD is covered.
He's right but people forget the immediate precursor to the MCU was 8 Saw movies, 4 Scary Movies, I forget what number Freddy and Jason got to, along with 3 AVP films, 5 die hards, etc.

One of the things that still gives me a bit of whiplash on the left is the level of almost reflexive hostility you see towards non-western countries and peoples sometimes. Even a lot of the military people I've met don't go for the state department lines this hard, just getting to see the world seems to mellow some of them out.
