  1. Very little of this video concerns superheroes: so again, what exactly is the point of the thumbnail text? 😏 Yeah... I can see what you mean about very simplistic plots.. 😏 But really that is a feature of Western narrative in general: and MOST of it has to do with religion: specifically the Christian religion. The Christian religion (a totalitarian belief system) creates simplistic "heroes" and "villains" from the start. It's always God/Jesus versus Satan. This phenomenon is known as moral Dualism. Neopagans have known about it for many years. Google Isaac Bonewits on the topic. As for superheroes per se... They have definitely been known in various cultures for thousands of years. Not just the ancient Greek heroes and demigods (as Stan Lee for one pointed out decades ago.) Google also the Russian "bogatyri". They had superpowers. Demigods have long been a part of the human imagination.

  2. ​@ThaKid14 I'm listening to it as an audio book, as it comes free with Audible. The characters are quite... engaging; more so than all his pompous superheroes. But it's just too long (if you sat in front of the audiobook listening non-stop, you'd be there for days on end.) And most of this is due to over-description, which holds up the plot.

  8. Oh... And all this about "Superheroes made people more likely to hero-worship Trump"? 😏 Well, during the 2008 election, US voters were encouraged to worship Barack Obama as a superhero: including in cartoons drawn by one of DC's artists! 😏 As I well remember! But I, a Brit, knew he was NO superhero, by any stretch of the imagination . He wasn't daring, promised very little to the working class, and delivered less. All he was good for was starting and continuing more wars!

  11. "The Donald"? And THAT'S a "superhero name"?? 😄😄😄 And if we were to call Moore, "The Alan", would that be a superhero name, too? 😏
