Kurt Vonnegut is definitely onto something to point out the stories have shapes that can be drawn off of an axis. There is a typical “normal” that sets the axis at zero. Then from “normal” things can either go bad or good. In the first episode of “Superman” that I watched, the “normal” started off […]

Reading the article “How Ancient Legends Gave Birth to Modern Superheroes,” gave me a deeper insight as to what determines a superhero in the genre. I liked that they use a scale method versus a simple “yes/no” approach. I think heroes can be all types of “people” with different intentions and backgrounds, but that shouldn’t […]
