Question: Evolution of The Superhero
It seems I have fallen into a pattern of asking questions on Monday. I will roll with it. I mean, why change a good thing. Today I bring you a video from my favorite brothers, John and Hank Green (a.k.a. Vlogbrothers). On Friday, Hank discussed how science-fiction captures what each generation believes and fears. If you have 3 minutes to spare, watch the video and chime in.
I believe he has a valid point. I mean, we write what we know. AND we write what we are trying to understand. With each discovery, a new "What if . . .?" surfaces. Those "what if" moments are to writers, what water puddles are to children: F-U-N.
