Pop Culture...

This is possibly extremely irrelevant to the rest of my post, but now that Marvel comics have been introduced in class, I figured I should just get this statement out of the way so I don't have to use up valuable class time: Marvel Comics is better than DC! There, I thought, I said (or wrote) it, and I meant it!

Now, why is it better? It's better because it focuses on more human issues than DC. The characters are so diverse, beyond just their powers, and while DC does tackle real issues, Marvel just does it better. No one is truly good in the Marvel universe, and no one is truly evil. Each character is human and complex and flawed, and I can't help but admire and relate to that.

Why blame comics for societal failure?

Why blame comics for societal failure? Society blamed comics for the societal failures because it was a fairly new industry, and as things seemed to go “wrong” they figured it must be comic books. When a child grew up during the war, his father was probably killing people and the military and his mother was probably making things in factories to help kill the opposition. The only things kids had to “babysit” them was comic books, and they read many different kinds. So when kids starting acting differently in this new generation the figured it must be the comic books. Society didn’t want to believe it may have been the internal and external scars war causes on the soldiers and their families. Also the fact that young unattended children are reading these comics may not be able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. When society fails it always needs a scapegoat then it was comic books next it was rock and roll. Society naturally resist change.
