FAQ About The Role of Cultural Mythology in Superhero Comics
Do superhero comics accurately represent the cultural myths they incorporate?
Superhero comics often reinterpret cultural myths to fit the storyline, which may not always be accurate to the original legends. The goal is usually more narrative or thematic rather than historical accuracy, although some comics strive to respect the cultural origins and significance of the myths they portray. This can sometimes result in debates over cultural sensitivity and representation.
