The comment of ''Comic Books'' : The American mythology

When I read this article,I  also thought these superheroes ("Spider-Man","Spider-Man2","X-Men","Sin City" and so on...) are in the same tradition  the myths of ancient Greece. Because America has many many different cultures, so American authors can edit a lot of types of movies ,TV shows,and so on. That's why they chose the myths of Greece by accident.

I think all of superheroes stories (American heroes,Greece heroes,Japanese heroes...) are didactic moralism. So,for 2000 years, people all over the world  have been thinking that heroes won the bad guys in the end.
But, Superman fights American society too. Spider-Man and X-Men also fight it.It is so cool!!!
Some people love them,but the other hate them. In my opinion,after reading it,I love them very much!!!!
and I have never watched superman, so I want to watch it and I'll study about American mythology a lot.
