EP 160: Golden Age Superman: Origins - Tete's Take

<p>Watch on <a href="https://youtu.be/UV-GA_NwMfo">YouTube</a>.</p> <p>This is episode 1 of our "Golden Age Superman" series, which you can see <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvd4C7fSOawTyJOoP_xYmrcRU0Ip1GTSi">here</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Recently, after watching The Batman 2022 and making a reaction/review video of it last week (see below for links), Tete and I thought more about Superman and why a lot of his movies aren't that well done. From her perspective, anyways. She thinks - and I would agree with her - that Superman's character has been changed since the Golden Age of his series, which was in the 1930s and 40s. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>After WWII, his character got increasingly sanitized and was turned into another version of Captain America, so to speak, sort of a role model for young boys to teach them about responsibility. &nbsp;</p> <p>In these next few podcast episodes, we'll be exploring how and why Tete doesn't like Silver Age Superman stories and why she prefers Golden Age in general. &nbsp;</p> <p>Questions: &nbsp;</p> <p>1. When were you first exposed to Golden Age comics?&nbsp;</p> <p>2. When did you first get exposed to Silver Age? What did you think of those? &nbsp;</p> <p>3. What is the least appealing thing about Silver Age? Is it how the villains are? Did it feel like a Saturday morning cartoon? &nbsp;</p> <p>4. Who was the least appealing villain in Silver Age?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>--</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p>Our podcast, "The Nuts and Bolts of Writing" on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvd4C7fSOawTalthFUirt-iRNtxKPANfW">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvd4C7fSOawTalthFUirt-iRNtxKPANfW</a></p> <p>Our podcast on Anchor: <a href="https://anchor.fm/fortunus-games">https://anchor.fm/fortunus-games</a></p> <p>My live reaction and review of The Batman (2022): <a href="https://youtu.be/rji-ME1OCOE">https://youtu.be/rji-ME1OCOE</a></p> <p>Tete's Review of The Batman (2022) - filmed before I watched it so I was just interviewing
