Hi, how are you guys? Today I had a lazy day and spended almost all afternoon reading. And now that I'm using the PC a was watching a video about The Defenders, the new series on Netflix from Marvel. And then I wonder about how many of you like superheroes? Wich one people like the most? It depends in the kind of hero you prefer or any superheroe has a chance in becoming popular?
I think the media has more weight into it than we thought. The Avengers, Iron Man, Flash, Arrow, each of them have existed for a long time in comics. Some of them even had their own movies once upon a time but now that we have TV series and new movies its that they are being notice the most. Heck, I didn't even liked Marvel until I watched the first Avengers movie. But that doesn't explain why Iron Man is more popular than Thor. Or Batman more than Superman (Am I wrong whith this?)
Also, one of the things that the media it's changing its the perspective we have of villains. With The Dark Knight we saw a twisted, darker and scary Joker and with the popularity he gain anyone could think he was the main character. And what about Harley Quinn? Just the people who know her from the series or the comics was aware of her existence and even have her own popularity but with Suicide Squad suddenly she is everywhere. Gotham itself is more about villains than about Batman (in my opinion). Oh, don't let me start on Loki.
So, what it is? The characters themselfs? The actors? The movie/serie? The culture? The media?
What you guys think?
