For those who don’t follow
comics, the movie character Iron Man comes from a long tradition of comic
stories about a billionaire playboy who moonlights as a superhero. This
hedonist-with-a-heart has played well for some time. It is no surprise Iron Man
enjoys high popularity in today’s society. But now publishers are altering
other, even more iconic characters in order to “relate” to modern
audiences. This is not a crisis. But does it really serve us and our social
dialog, or does it just further promote our propensity to live in bubbles of
isolation?
