Well the story lines change based on recent events. In the 40's American spirit was in and so Captain America was born. If everyone suddenly became and American patriot we might see more of the good guys winning but right now there's conspiracies, wars and rumors of wars, distrust in the government, spying, nuclear war reaching closer (Thanks NK -_-) etc... I'm not saying these things have never happened before but it's on a huge scale and is spreading thanks to the internet. Before you could cover anything up but now it's hard not to have a leak or something that will rally millions to a cause. And the comics simply follow this trend of going down darker paths.
