“You Don’t Get To Destroy Who I Am”: Guardians, Daredevil, and the Solidarity Within Human Suffering | THE LEGEND MAKERS
This week, we talk a little bit about the universality of human trauma and one dysfunctional galactic superhero family’s efforts to prove healing from it is possible. Featuring a newly-discovered iconic trio of children’s stories, poor delivery of the same Community reference four times, and a reflection on North Stars, join us in this episode as we draw parallels between the two least tonally similar properties Marvel has to offer -- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Daredevil Season 3 -- and hopefully make a good case for why they’re both brilliant stories in their own right.
We reiterate that neither of us are experts on the clinical or diagnostic side of trauma recovery and mental health, and our thoughts in this episode go hand in hand with the importance of professional support and therapy. We’d also like to apologize for any redundancy or incoherence that may be found therein; in a lovely twist of dramatic irony, this past month has been kind of rough for both of us -- evidenced by the delay between episodes -- and so the recording and editing of this episode has been more difficult than usual. We hope that you can be compassionate and bare with us as we move forward to the next episode.
As usual, we’d love to hear any thoughts, ideas, or opinions you have either in the comments of the YouTube post or on any of the platforms I promote this podcast on. Enjoy!
