    This article talks about how one would think lovers of comic and superheroes should be open minded about the change in time and the changes that comes with it like diversity. But there is still the gap between those who call themselves "traditionalists," and persist to the idea of certain changes and those who embrace the new superheroes re-imagined for modern times. There are also people in the middle, waiting until they see how the creators actually handle the new changes on well known characters.

    This article explores the area where superhero plays a huge part a kid's life while growing up. You might not agree because of the age we are in now but at a certain age, kids transform their behaviors and act like a hero or heroine if things are not going right. Many heroes and heroines have different specialties and this article talks about how kids use them in different aspects of their lives including courage, bullies in school, strength and more. They want to live their lives as those heroes and heroines and I strongly think it works at that age to shape your life because it can be very beneficial to overcome little childhood problems.Children are the most vulnerable people so there will be arguments that these heroes and heroines take children out of reality but this article says "By identifying with the culture's heroes and superheroes, children can begin to feel like they are aligning with what is good and can develop their own agency, power, and value in the world," and I totally agree with that.
