Superheroes are relevant again! Thanks to Disney+, who ended our Marvel drought with the release of its original television series WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we now know what life looks like post-Blip -- and you bet we have something to say about it! Join Sunny and guest Idan Kotzen as they discuss the various ways superhero depictions have evolved to facilitate important discussions on relevant social and political issues. They contend with how their experiences as Marvel fans have differed under patriarchy, and how characters like Black Widow and Captain Marvel serve as reminders of the MCU’s failure to portray humanised and resonant female heroes. Meanwhile, should we be concerned that so many male fans resonate with characters like Tony Stark and DC’s The Joker? Is Marvel’s inclusion of heroes who aren’t white or male a sincere attempt at diversity, or too little too late? And finally, how do privileged filmmakers responsibly tell inclusive stories? Beware of spoilers as we keep the rage tender.
