Do you think Superheroes are a product of a debased society?
As it says on the tin. Would appreciate some serious answers.
Answers:
No, they are a product of a creative society which is a huge part of the nature of human thought. I think that fictional characters and stories are essential to have within a society because it gives rise to creativity and influences imagination.
No, I think they are a product of a creative society.
No, they are just made for fun. There is no deeper meaning.
No. We all need to believe in those Greater Powers (especially that Good will prevail).
People are just holding out for a hero instead of doing something themselves.
People pray in the name of a man who died sacrificing himself for his friends, only to return and save everyone, and he is associated with the cross, and the wolf, and is seen with his arms out stretched.
debased? nah.. I think everyone wishes they had super powers and that's where the interest in superheroes comes from.. I mean, who wouldn't want super strength, or super speed, or the ability to fly?
no they give us some feeling that good will triumph over evil, as well as something to aspire to.
Captain America during the dark days of world war two. Seems like an obvious answer of this.
Though myself I prefer the X-men comic series
and many many others :)
No not in itself, it is just pretty standard creative fare. But the way some super-hero stories are presented by Hollywood and magazine publishers like Marvel and DC, might appear to the more deeply critical observer to be an attempt to promote a world view that is highly questionable to those outside of the USA. This is not something confined to just the super-hero genre though as it permeates much of mainstream American cultural output. That is of course a much larger debate.
yes - well most think there is no god so superheroes are the next best thing
Superheroes, like most creative media, are simply a reflection of the society that created them. They in themselves are neither creative nor debased. If you look long enough for anything, you will find it, so if you want to find a superhero that is a product of a debased society, head out to your local comic shop, if you want to find a superhero that is a product of society that enjoys creativity, and likes quality entertainment, head out to that same comic shop.
When Robin Hood, Will O'the Whisp, William Tell - for a start, where born into our story telling world, I doubt that we had a debased society(s then.
I may not like 'Super Heroes,' but I'm sure they have an essential area in the lives of some members of society, and they can be used to help identify issues that could stand scrutiny.
