#Batman’s Opinion of His Greatest Weakness Is a Sobering Message About Mental Health cbr.com/batman-self-ha…

Now - To be clear: I think that (modern) #comics are silly, self-serious, & written largely by pompous idiots!

BUT - Isn't this above JUST the crux of the matter! 😄

And yet: WHY devote an entire article to this? When it can be so much better summarised, in a few hashtags?? 👇

#toxicmasculinity #herocomplex

(#fascistcrap I might well say.. 😏)

#Takingyourselfmuchtooseriously (Which is something that a good Trickster (an #archetype which is often the opposite of the hero archetype) Would NEVER do.. As the Joker never would, IF he were written *true to archetype*, which he usually isn't.. These days. 😏

Well: Loki is a Trickster: and HE certainly doesn't suffer from toxic masculinity & overseriousness.. 🙂

But anyway. For me, I much preferred comic books, as they were in the old days: a good "atmosphere" of which can be gleaned, by reading the prizewinning mainstream novel, The Adventures Of Kavalier And Clay, by Michael Chabon. (It's about two 40s/50s Brooklyn comic book writers.)

I very much enjoyed The Adventures Of Kavalier And Clay! 🙂👍

(& I'd copy Michael Chabon into this thread: only he appears to have deleted his Twitter! ☹️

Because of Musk? 🤔 Oh well! 🤷‍♀️)
