Put a hero from th e early 2000s beside one from today\, and it can feel like they come from completely different realities. They look different\, talk differently\, j oke differently\, and even seem to have different ideas about what being a hero means. Join Noah\, a drama teacher\, theatre director and huge super hero-film fan\, to watch selected scenes spanning more than two decades of Marvel and DC\, from Christopher Nolan’s Batman films and the evolution of the different Spider-Men to The Avengers\, Deadpool and beyond. Togeth er\, we’ll trace how the superhero has evolved physically\, psychologica lly and culturally\, and ask what caused the transformation. But underneat h the costumes\, explosions and superpowers is a surprisingly revealing st ory about us. Have audiences changed\, forcing studios to create different kinds of heroes? Or have studios learned increasingly sophisticated formu las for creating characters that appeal to the largest possible audience? Why has humour become so important? Why do today’s heroes need different bodies\, flaws\, personalities and relationships? And has a genre that al ways relied on formulas become something even more carefully engineered an d mass-produced? You’ll watch\, compare\, laugh\, debate and discover ho w much popular entertainment can tell us about the society consuming it. N o superhero-film knowledge is necessary\, whether you’ve watched every M arvel movie or can barely tell Batman from Spider-Man\, all you need is cu riosity and an opinion. Let's sit back with good friends and watch scenes from films which marked some of our childhoods\, evolved with us\, and\, r egardless of their perceived superficiality or depth (depending on how you see them)\, are a solidified part of the mutual popular culture we all sh are as a people. Let's watch superheroes and have a fun and deep discussio n!
