To be or not to be that is the question. To Marvel or not to Marvel? I think your article gives it too much influence. I think, like you, we watch mindless, with a head cold hoping anything will make it go away or distract us for that time period. You had 10 hours not to think about your head cold. The writing is provocative and thoughtful, better than the 10 hours of Marvel movies. Look forward to ghe next installment.

I really like your comparison between deities and the heroes.

One thing I’ve always noticed is how drastically the fandom has changed from the comic book days. This is probably due to the power of celebrity, as you mentioned. But, this is something that hasn’t entirely happened with the D.C. franchises.

Interesting that "Captain America" isn't the most American Avenger in your opinion. As someone who knows nothing about Marvel, I still found this an interesting read and that says a lot! Keep up the good work.
