Episode #12: The Modern Myth (When We Last Left Our Heroes)

What is the superhero if not the loftiest aspirations of humanity, as expressed through a powerful and resonant medium, and made accessible to the masses? The superhero. Clever. Brave. Powerful. Never giving up. Never letting anyone down. Standing up for the weak and the disenfranchised. Fiercely loyal. The superhero is the greatness of which we all know we’re capable. But how do we place the Superhero in modern society? What does this modern myth tell us about who we are and where we’re going?
