I guess he missed the part where Dan is impotent when his clothes have been taken off but a stud when its his superhero costume that’s been removed, and it didn’t occur to him that the scene was mocking him.
I say this as someone who has only read the comic, but I'm not sure this reading works—there are two protagonists involved in that sex scene, so where does your analysis leave Laurie? Is she part of the joke? Is the joke on her? She's sleeping with a mortal, fucked-up and flawed, not the next best thing to a god (who can split himself in triplicate and multitask), and that is not insignificant to her as a character. How does the music interact with her arc?
ETA, as they say: it struck me that the joke may be on Leonard Cohen's "Hallujah" and everyone who will now be forever unable to dissociate it from a fucked-up superhero sex scene.
