Socialism works the same way. They frame it as the state absorbing corporations instead of corporations absorbing the state, but the result is the same. In a free society, the state and corporations need to remain separate, with corporations providing the services that involve substantial risk and can be permitted to fail, while the state provides the essential services where failure isn’t an option.
Corporations should be small and nimble while government should be big and stable. The problems start when you expect or allow one to act like the other.

That’s the problem with superhero stories. The story needs to begin and end with the world in a state similar to our own (for relatabilitiy and sequel potential) despite the vast power of its protagonist, so the hero must ultimately be concerned with preserving the status quo.
It’s one of the reasons why superhero movies are in decline now that all the most famous storylines have already been adapted, and why comic book sales have been going downhill ever since they started taking themselves seriously.
