I'm not talking about a dichotomy between fantasy. My comment still applies to that.
This is what I'm talking about:
"Set in an alternate history Cairo, Shubeik Lubeik/Your Wish Is My Command is a sci-fi character drama built around intricate character portraits set in a ‘post-colonial’ context, wherein we see people from a variety of backgrounds wrestle with life."
Like this slice of life, complex character studies where the story is pretty mundane that's so common in lit. The setting can still be sci-fi.
Anyway he made a subtle slight against super hero stuff in his intro. My comment was more (though not exclusively) referring to the dichotomy between super hero stuff and other comics. My argument is that it's better then these books he's recommending due to the sheer man power and talent it took to create the MCU. The culmination of work from technology and talent built by thousands of people and he derides it because it's "popular".
Like literally what was the point of that intro? To randomly mention how popular super hero stuff is and to dismiss it in all his recommendations. It's the definition of snobbery.
