I don’t perceive her as pushing remedies, but I think they are suggested. The suggestion is that the works would be better if they adhered closer to “reality” or if the psychological tension was overtly comprehended and demonstrated by the writer rather than a tacit element. Many politically conscious people are just clueing into what literary criticism has long understood, although the conclusions drawn by the bulk of good literary criticism is, in my opinion, the exact opposite of those drawn by today’s reactionaries.
Essentially, I think the article discounts the merit of a regressive fantasy. Today’s comic book media complex is very involute. Characters often explicitly state these regressive elements, the sexual tension, and etc. It is novel for a while, especially when it is in vogue for a largely illiterate populace to rediscover matters of criticism that literature has always encompassed; but it is just as likely to become brittle and inbred as the big boob, prostitute, truncated demise tropes are.
Like I said, these are fair points that the author makes. It is, however, just as easy to point and laugh at someone that doesn’t seem to comprehend that they have not broken out of the aesthetic cycle, that they have failed to transcend, as it is to point and laugh at the latent homoeroticism of 300. All that being said, these are comic books, and I stopped reading them when I stopped getting pimples for good reason.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to watch grown men dribble a leather ball around and act like every foul called against them is a grievous insult to blood and legacy.
