> "living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities.” The trend of comics cum cinema, and wizards lording it over muggles, which has been incessant for at least 20 years now, has been so consistent that it begs the question of why. The basic underlying theme of all these 'cultural' products has been to instill the idea that 'little normal people' are powerless victims, and only magical special people with superpowers not available to the common man gets to save the day. This has the been the programming for the past 20+ years. I hinted at this a few days ago in a comment regarding the strange case of "cults of personality" and "savior hero politicians" in the West.
