La scusa è il commento d’obbligo sul film del momento, ma in realtà alla fine la cosa passa in secondo piano, in favore di una bella ricostruzione storico/culturale del fenomeno dei supereroi:
“Superhero stories are a curious thing. They began life in the 1930s as tales for children and low-education adults. Superman crossed over into the mainstream with a popular radio show, serials and eventually a TV show, but he was the only one who seemed to truly bridge the gap between grown-ups and kids, and even his crossover stuff was clearly kiddie-oriented. Things changed in the 1960s as Marvel Comics targeted an older crowd, aiming their stories at smarter and hipper teens. As happened in the modern era with Harry Potter, the Marvel audience aged up but not out of the stories, and so Marvel kept pace. By the late 60s Marvel had positioned itself as ‘Pop Art,’ and it was telling stories often aimed at a college-aged audience.”
