Living with Boys

I know this is tongue-in-cheek. At least, I hope it is. I'm just not sure what it says about us, otherwise--I'm all for stories reflecting back to their readers/viewers, and I've heard all the stuff about superheroes, archetypes, and mythology. Fandoms have appropriated words like "mythology" and "canon" for years. I know. And I'm a big fan of Joss Whedon, geeky loves, and the Marvel movies in a general way.

But do we really want our great mythology set in terms that can be devoured with popcorn and then forgotten by most of the population? Just asking.
