The characters are, by their nature, archetypes that can serve different metaphors.

I like superheroes. I like the drama of it, the stirring, larger-than-life aspect.

It's fun to take a piece of formula and go someplace else with it and see what happens.

I think the purpose of deconstruction is to take something apart and see how it works. If you're not going to put it back together again and watch it go, what's the point?

I wanted to be a writer, but the idea of writing novels or movies seemed really intimidating. I never got more than a few pages into one.

I've always been positive about superheroes.
