Who's your favourite superhero? Is there one that you look up to or looked up to in the past? Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman are just a few superheroes that inspire us. How about the Monkey King? Would you consider him to be a type of superhero? An inspiration to the common people? Why do they inspire us? Are they realistic heroes or pure escapism? What's the psychology behind them and the way we look up to them? The ones aforementioned are certainly not the first fictional superhero types that people have looked up to. Such characters have existed for many generations. How do you see such characters? Are there different types of heroes for different generations? Is Deadpool (a classic anti-hero) a new type of inspiration? Do you think they're more or less necessary in today's world? Do these archetypes affect our characters? Our goals? Our relationships? Our views on gender?_x000D_

The idea of superheroes might sound childish but their presence, spanning cultures and generations, is nothing short of cemented in our pop culture. Most people can name you more superheroes than they could world leaders. So whether you see it or not, their presence has affected you, the question is how? Why? And to what degree? Let's have a cool, pop culture-filled, psychological discussion about superheroes and why they inspire us (or don't)?_x000D_

你最喜欢的超级英雄是谁?有没有一个是你过去尊敬的?神奇女侠、超人和蝙蝠侠只是激励我们的几个超级英雄之一。孙悟空呢?你会认为他是一个超级英雄吗?对普通人的启发是什么?它们为什么激励我们?他们是现实主义英雄还是纯粹的逃避现实?他们背后的心理是什么?我们尊敬他们的方式是什么?前面提到的这些角色肯定不是人们第一次仰望的虚构超级英雄类型。这样的角色已经存在了很多代人。你怎么看这样的人物?不同的世代有不同类型的英雄吗?死侍(一个经典的反英雄)是一种新的英雄类型吗?你认为它们在当今世界或多或少是必要的吗?这些原型会影响我们的角色吗?我们的目标?我们的关系?我们对性别的看法?_x000D_

超级英雄的想法听起来可能很幼稚,但他们的存在,跨越了文化和世代,在我们的流行文化中根深蒂固。大多数人能说出的超级英雄比他们能说出的世界领袖还要多。所以,无论你是否看到,他们的存在对你产生了影响,问题是如何影响的?为什么?达到什么程度?让我们来一场关于超级英雄的冷静、充满流行文化的心理讨论,以及他们为什么激励我们(或不激励我们)?
