  • What exactly is the meaning of marvel?
  • = to show or experience great surprise or admiration

Superhero movies and their deeper meanings
''Not every hero wears a mask, some heroes save the day in the simplest ways, by just being there for us, or letting us know we are believed in.'' - Barry Allen (Flash)
  • What do you think I mean with deeper meanings?
  • Representation is important. We want to look up to certain people. Everyone looks and is different. So to see different kinds of people in superhero movies is important. Because we see people that look like us, people we can look up to and have as role models.
