Reading some Captain Marvel from 1983 where Monica Rambeau is the titular character. A black woman hero and all I can think of is if Marvel did this today there would be endless whinging on twitter about muh white genocide.

    What Alan Moore said captures my sentiment about comic books quite well.

    “I thought that it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batman movies. Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism.”
