Hey Tom,
can you be a little more specific on your argument about what kids can learn from superhero movies?
I strongly disagree but would like for you to get into a little more detail how you mean that. (although i grew up with comics and loved them until i somehow "grew up" through the first avenger).
Lastly, i still find it funny that in an episode where the offficial word of the podcast was "tone-deaf" still both you and Christian didnt notice that besides the "Slaughter" at the End of Man of Steel,
- he also kinda looses his Home World and entire Race in the beginning to an Extinction Level Event
- his Parents die superbrutally (Dad gets to die even 2x2)
- and his Zombie Cpu Dad basically pushes him "Gods" responsibility for an entirely different race into his hands, claiming moral superiority and belittling the human condition. And we thought Britney Spear's Mom was tough. The irony of his statement seemed to have escaped you as well if i remember correctly. An AI entity denying a race ownership and responsibility for the self that came into this moment how exactly...
Also loved Tom's actual Sexism and the gloaty, condescending remarks about Snyder as a person.
Btw. Christian, with you having so much "fuck" to say this episode:
Is it worse to have a kid see two people make out in a soft porn kind of way (nipples and all) with no relevant context, or see a person disintegrated, beheaded, crushed, exploded etc. like in Avengers?
Is that make out seen even a problem for kids generally? And why?
Looking forward to your guys comments.
Best,
Martin
