Ep 93 - Stan Lee's Soapbox

Stan Lee was a great story teller, but he never hid his strong
convictions, or his desire to use the stories he told to give
people a new way to think about the issues of his time. Nor did the
writers of Black Panther, Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars, or
so many of the shows we love.

Matt and Jeff are back, and we had a great episode on the ethics of
Star Wars planned- but with all that has been happening in our
world in the last week in terms of the killing of George Floyd, and
all that has happened since, we just felt like it was important for
us to address that. So today we’re talking about what it means to
be a fan, and a content creator, in difficult times, and how the
stories we are such fans of help shape our understandings of
violence and authority and
racism and cops and everything else.

Here is the article on Black Panther and Allyship that Matthew
mentioned -

In partnership with the MCU Cast and all the great folks at the
Stranded Panda Podcast Network, we are kicking off a review drive!
Reviews are the best way to help this show grow- it moves us up the
lists on Itunes and the other podcast services, gives more people a
chance to find us, and join the conversation! We’ve got big goals,
but we need your help!

If you write a 5 star review of Superhero Ethics) between now and
Sunday June 7th, you'll be entered into a raffle. At least one of
the review writers for Superhero Ethics will win their choice of an
MCUCast or Superhero Ethics T-shirt! Every review will also enter
you into a drawing with review writers for other Standed Panda
shows, with the winner getting a free copy of the Avengers video
game, coming this fall. You only have to write a sentence or two,
but make it a real one- simply writing “I want the shirt” sadly
doesn’t help.

The easiest way to write a review is to search for this podcast on
Itunes, but you can write a review on any podcast host that uses
them. Just be sure to let us know by emailing
superheroethics@gmail.com if you do something other than
Itunes.

And remember, even if you don't think we don’t deserve 5 stars,we'd
still love a review, so we can learn more about what we are doing
well and how we can improve.
