Why the Cynical Superhero Isn't That Interesting (2020x32)

Air date: Nov 25, 2020

During my quarantine, I’ve finally binge-watched the popular shonen anime My Hero Academia and the Amazon original series The Boys. Two very different shows, that gave me a lot of really deep feelings about superheroes. Both are words in which superheroes exist and both deal with issues of morality, capitalism, and what it means to be a hero, but both deal with it in a very Hobbes vs Rousseau kind of way.
