Mocking the smarks aside, from what I've seen they haven't made him less invincible, and the formula is the exact same faux tension everyone was bitching about in the first place. They're trying to play the guy who always seems to get the upper hand as though he's somehow the underdog.

In that sense, I think the Superman comparison is most apt. The general Superman story seems to play it like there's some doubt Superman's going to save the day, when the guy's obviously stacked as a GOD.

Oh, and sometimes there's kryptonite.

I mean, all the heroes generally win, but with Superman it seems so much less interesting because barring kryptonite his flaws are all superficial. At the end of the match, Cena's just gonna "Hulk up," rise against hate, and hit the five moves of doom. And that's not entirely a Cena thing, but it is most glaring here.
