Show Notes

Where do superheroes fit in worlds? Seth and James look into the worlds that support superhero narratives, how they are effective and ways that they sometimes fail. So join us for a discussion on why Superhero stories are inevitably speculative, why James thinks DCEU does some stuff better than Marvel, and how it's possible to make interesting and rich worlds that surround our super-powered characters as well as just the inner worlds of the characters themselves.
