Mate.. I think this comment is insane. You imagine a marvel movie has more influence on someone than their own biological make-up?

I mean, that's the entire premise behind the woke "society represses women/minorities" narrative.

You think role models don't have an impact on people's development? or you don't think characters in movies serve as role models? Biology is powerful but it is not the only factor...

  That should be easy enough to check. How did the "Alien" movies affect women going into (interplanetary) shipping and the military? I think a lot of that hypothesis is hand-picking a few movies and then saying "and that's why xyz".

I don't think a movie has this much influence, but yeah, role models have more influence on character than genetics, obviously. My father is parenting like his own father was. And with his wife than my grandfather did with my grandmother (and hopefully i'll manage to act the same). Also have the same politics and the same engagement my grandmother had (and same character, so he does has some flaws :) ). My father was adopted. As he isn't a hippie living in the middle of nowhere or a trophy wife living in a top10 US city in an affluent area thank to the money his partner earned, i'd say genetics have really little influence on your character. I mean, if you met old ladies from brittany, or from Ireland (and probably any rural area that din't get TV until the 70s), and compare them to those you met in CA or WA, it would be obvious than culture is the primary influence over genetics.

  It's my understanding that twin studies indicate a very large genetic influence. Some lazy googling suggests 50%. Just throwing that out there.

    Yeah, i met my genetic grandparents (and grandaunt), they are... American, both differently and in their own specific ways, but clearly Americans. We are very clearly not. I guess my sister have my genetic grandmother hair? But rather than being meek and subordinate to her husband, my sister is a hard-headed britton who doesn't let anyone step on her toes, so she clearly takes from our non-genetic grandmother (and btw, our genetic grandaunt, despite being more liberal and feminist than our genetic grandmother, act basically the same with her husband, so i can confidently state that this particular character trait is not from any genetic material on our father side). Twin studies with twins in different countries? Because my guess is that culture permeate everything.
