The TyePodSeason 3 Episode 85 featuring @DrOfComicsAlona, @DrOfComics, joins me to explore the world of superheroes and antiheroes and how comic storytelling offers a revealing window into society, including many ableist assumptions that often shape it.She made a particularly insightful point: unlike many other genres, comics tend to treat emotions more realistically. The traditional “happy ending” that dominates so much of film and television is rarely the final destination in comics. Instead, characters have lives that constantly fluctuate through the range of emotions. Happiness, sadness, and all other feelings are not final destinations in fantasy or reality.
