The phrase 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility' is one that resonates greatly within the geek culture. It represents the real life lessons of choices and consequences that we as regular people also deal with. Super heroes for having super strength and abilities are relatable to us because of the down to earth emotions and inner demons they fight. Like the rest of us, we are faced with choices daily, and it's these choices that shape our personality and character.
Team Scarif takes a look at how this phrase affects characters in geek media. We talk about Peter Parker's arrogance, Bruce Wayne's unattainable thirst for vengeance and Magneto's mission to wipe out the unjust and corrupt homo sapien with a new breed of human.
Special thanks to Andrew of Coruscant Radio Underground for his gracious introduction to the topic tonight!
