Re: Stereotypes about the Superhero genre
It must be admitted, the superhero genre has, over the years, had a lot of phenomenally silly storylines and characters, particularly in the Silver Age. Furthermore, there have been a lot of silly superhero cartoons aired, some intentionally so, some not. Despite the fact that it hasn't had a new episode in close to 30? years, Superfriends remains a very enduring image of the superhero to many (and is why Aquaman can't catch a break), and that show's plots and science were positively atrocious (which isn't to say it wasn't fun to watch).
