Making Light: Hero Worship
I love this article. I agree completely; I once wrote an article about how Wonder Woman was one of the many reasons I became a Witch.
I also agree that I don’t think their “reality” is relevant if we resonate with the myth. I am grateful that comic books keep heroic and moral ideals alive in the modern day. I am glad we don’t have to look strictly to our human leadership or our celebrities for role models. I am glad that myth lives well enough in the modern world to support multi-million dollar movies on the topic and multi-million dollar video game environments in which people actively play the heroes. It gives me hope for the human race.
I am linking this article to both of my blogs, “Sable Aradia, Priestess & Witch,” and “Confessions of a Geek Queen” at WordPress, because it crosses over both subjects quite well.
