Great video as always. You can tell how the government investing in science had a domino effect on the focus on media for years. In the 50s, there was a focus on westerns until the early 60s. Then the focus was on Sci-Fi with movies (Star Wars/2001), tv (Star Trek/ The Twilight Zone), books (Dune), and comics. That was until the mid-80s when action movies became more prominent.

I'm surprised to hear no mention of the Comics Code Authority, established in 1954, whose General Standards explicitly went after horror and crime comics and implicitly championed the superhero formula. For instance: - No comic magazine shall use the word horror or terror in its title. - Scenes dealing with, or instruments associated with walking dead, torture, vampires and vampirism, ghouls, cannibalism, and werewolfism are prohibited. - Restraint in the use of the word “crime” in titles or subtitles shall be exercised. - In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds. - Criminals shall not be presented so as to be rendered glamorous or to occupy a position which creates a desire for emulation. - Policemen, judges, Government officials and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority. - Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals. And so on.

I honestly feel like omitting this part made this video very different, as especially towards the end when they frame the paranoia about communism as somewhat justified, that paranoia of communism also spread as a boogeyman for anything “subversive” to current American society at the time. It saw a marked trend towards censorship and moral panic about other “communist” things such as lgbt, and civil rights movement. When Stan Lee talked about everything relating to communism, he was right, but only because they always pointed a finger at communism for anything they disliked.

Thor is a mythological god and the x-men (sic) are mutants. They never fought commies, nor were they born of science. Fantastic Four fought the Hate Monger who was Hitler and the Avengers fought the Sons of the Serpent who were the comic book version of the KKK. You are giving a very skewed presentation of what Marvel was during the early '60's. Comics reflect the prevailing zeitgeist. Now, they are all sjw's.

@HistoryDose

2 жыл бұрын

I’m afraid you are mistaken here. Thor does indeed fight communists from the start (see “Journey into Mystery” #83-87). His mission is particularly on the nose-you’ll see him smashing planes adorned with hammers and sickles! #87 of these Thor comics is even called “Prisoner of the Reds!” The point about the X-Men unfortunately hurts your case when considered in context. So heavily had the Marvel team relied on “scientific” origins, that Stan Lee admitted, "I couldn't have everybody bitten by a radioactive spider or exposed to a gamma ray explosion. And I took the cowardly way out. I said to myself, 'Why don't I just say they're mutants? They are born that way.'" Of course the claim here isn’t that every single villain in these comics is from the Soviet bloc, but precisely that Marvel reflected the prevailing Cold War zeitgeist.

@@HistoryDose The point is Thor is not the product of science, nor are the X-Men--mutations are naturally occurring. I left out the most anti-science character of the 1960's era marvel universe that being Dr. Strange whose mastery of the "mystic arts" is antithetical to anything scientific. Thor may have had one bout with commies, but you can not draw the inference that the storylines in this title carried this theme beyond one story arc. What about the anti-nazi and anti racist themes of the FF's clash with the Hate-Monger and the Avengers clashes with the Sons of the Serpent? These villains were not communists by a long-shot. In any case, being anti-communists, or more accurately anti-Soviet Union, is not some sort of "Dark History" unless you condone a system responsible for literally millions of deaths from the Red Terror and the first famine in the Ukraine on through to the Holodomor and the Gulag. If Marvel could do their part to fight this system, that is not any kind of "Dark History" but reflects a goal just a laudable as Lee's anti-nazi and anti-Klan story lines.

Terrible thumbnail. It gives the impression that communists or that system of government promoted the development of comic book superheroes when the argument is that it was a response to these bad ideas.
