Really? Are u kidding me? Is that even real?

Those were my thoughts when my mom told me (by first time) that "superhero stuff is a bad influence" and many other for her friends say the same.

For me is pure prejudice and bad reputation they have of that.

The reputation of:

  • Saying that the violence is the way to solve everything - No, they protect the ones that can't protect themselves and defeat bad guys that obviously aren't going to give up if you ask them to do that (at least u have mind control powers)
  • Lying at the people u love is fine - No isn't fine, but they lie to protect them, yeah because they love their friends and family to support they fall in danger situations
  • And that heroes like Batman send the message that everybody can do that dangerous stuff - Of course... if u have tons of money, years of training and a really painful reasons for doing that, then you can do the same as Batman :D

But the problem is that THEY BASE THEIR THINKING IN FALSE APPEARANCES and DON'T SEE THE CONTEXT

Because I learned a lot of good stuff of their comics and cartoons and especially moral stuff:

And if isn't enough a superhero teach u many things

  • Aquaman (recently) Taught me that have patience with the ones who insult you is hard (and more when u have powers) but isn't impossible
  • Nightwing Taught me that you have to take the bull by the horns in other words accept the situation and confront it
  • Red Robin Taught me that you must have hope and faith in your beliefs though the world say you are crazy still believing that (not the same as being stubborn)

The cartoons taught u other basic things (ok, I'm too tired to write that)

I know u can learn that in other places but that proof that comics and the other stuff isn't useless at all, you end learning something but in a exciting way.

PD: I'm sorry if I got mistakes, I still learning english

Your English is great!  
 
I had a friends mother who got angry because in Tekken there is a Panda Bear and you can fight it. She like really freaked out, was sort of worrying actually. She thought it was a huge bad influence. Just the fighting Panda part? Not the actually humans fighting or devil in there? Anyway great thread and points.

Nice post. allot of people who don't like comics really aren't acquainted with them and don't understand the value of their stories they view them as beat em up movies or games that you read and have no purpose other than explosions

my parents thought everything I was interested in was going to turn me into a bad person, and if you look at me now...well, they were right

unfortunately there were so many factors it's impossible to determine whether or not it was "superhero stuff" that pushed me over the edge

I think the real problem is people trying to control what other people are influenced by because it hardly ever works out well

Flagged for lying to good people. We all know that it wasn't "Superhero Stuff" that pushed you over the edge, because you were already born over the edge.
