For me, superheroes represent hope, beings who are more powerful, and, much more importantly, more noble than we are. We want beings who we can look up to and admire. I see "grimdark" and cynicism as basic cowardice, the lack of the courage and imagination needed for hope.

Looking up to flawless icons is easy, and only sets you up for either suffering from the comparison, or worse, thinking you are also flawless.

I hate it. When I was younger I was all about *the Darkness*. But as I've gotten older, I feel like, no - actually - we do need heroes, and impossibly idyllic worlds to strive toward *because* of what a shit-hole this world can be when we aren't striving.

Well my thing is that Fat Thor and Old Luke and Peter B. Parker aren't "gritty '90s antiheroes", who express their negative emotions through rage and violence
