It depends. Superhero comics are not on a path to becoming high culture, and I agree with that. Electronic music clubs are on a path to becoming high culture (recent law change in Germany), and I also agree with that.
- domador 5y agoWhat was the recent law change in Germany?
- ahartmetz 5y agoIn city planning, clubs will be classified in the same group as theaters and operas. They were previously in the same group as brothels and gambling joints. https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/deutschland/gesellschaft/clubkultur-ist-kultur-100.html https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/deutschland/gesellschaft/club...
- shadowgovt 5y agoI suppose it depends on how you define "high culture," but when Disney is making Marvel Cinematic Universe movies grossing past $2.7 billion, I think it's fair to say superhero comics have become something.
- stronglikedan 5y agoI'd wager a very small percentage of the moviegoers have ever even seen a comic featuring their favorite movie superheroes, much less picked one up and read it.
- sandworm101 5y agoAnd I would wager that only a very small percentage of Broadway audiences have ever picked up a play in paper form either.
- BurningFrog 5y agoActual comic books peaked in the 90s maybe. They never fully broke into mainstream culture, but in their niche they were big and certainly accepted. Now those characters and stories live on in "comic book movies". Less employed people than me can debate to what extent that is the same thing :)
