who watches the superheros

Reading JKeeley's post I was prompted to post the following:

When asked "Who watches the watchmen?" Jkeeley replied, "We should not have to depend on superheros to survive."  This idea is very similar to the idea in Civil War because the issue the government has with the heros is that they do believe they need them but that they have to much power.  So while in the watchmen someone is trying to get rid of the Superheros, in Civil War this is not the case, because here the government is simply trying to lessen their power and have them under their control.  This idea of who watches the heros is interesting, because as Civil War points out, no one does and thus they should be feared because they are all-powerful.

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.
