“Superhero films are the replacement/substitute for something a billionfold more amazing (and useful) that we are each carrying and capable of… but which is denied, inhibited, destroyed, distorted, and otherwise co-opted by our cultures.

This isn’t necessarily purposeful; it is simply the result of the applied developmental momentum of representational paradigms that can field vastly superior force compared to the intelligence they dominate (and would otherwise serve).

Until we can awaken and develop these capacities together, with and for each other and our world, we will have superhero films — and a dying planet — instead.”
