I think you might be able to draw a parallel with long-running serials like comic books, or even Star Trek itself. They tend to revisit old themes and revolve around a certain status quo.
They tend not to involve multigenerational obedience to an authoritarian regime, though...

Now I want a Canadian superman. I think he was originally from Kansas. Well, first Krypton, but later Kansas.
