The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
I think where men are credited for being strong, women are divas. I just think it's such a cop out.
The comics I read as a kid were much more influenced by TV and movies. Encountering superheroes as an adult without that kind of childhood sentimentality, it just doesn't allow you, or in my case at least, it wouldn't let me take the characters seriously.
