One of the "heroes" brutally--- and very graphically--- beats one of his fellow female super-heroes and then rapes her.
Another "hero" (oh, perhaps it's the same lovable one) grabs a man's fingers, twisting them to make him give information. After he gets it, he breaks a few more, with a laugh.
In yet another gratuitously sadistic scene, we have a hero not once but multiple times drive a butcher blade into a bound man's head. No, the camera doesn't pan away. We see it go in, come out, and re-enter various times.
This is Dirty Harry with Fx, though Harry wasn't as ambitious an effort.

It beats me why so many people put such faith not to mention money into advanced CGI fx.
It's not real.
It doesn't look real.
It doesn't have to.
Who cares?
Bring back Harryhausen!

    Those Tom And Jerry Shows have a lot to answer for!
    I am guessing that part of it is that superheroes are not so super.

      bad or worse than the criminals---- what's the point of the entire exercise?
      There are bad guys, they are caught, tried, and punished (almost always by excruciating, prolonged death) by "heroes" that visibly ENJOY the work. And then, the topper: complicity in humanity's greatest possible crime.
      It may be that a sick society enjoys sickness but not recognizing it for what it is--- that's terrifying.
