If you don't think that's fucking awesome and instead wish your calls get outsourced to India, well that's fine, but I personally like things exactly the way they are now.
I don't have any interest in changing how anybody sees anything. I have no problem with thinking comics as a whole are childish and sexist. Frankly, most are both anyway, so I don't see why anyone has a problem with that.

I don't care for traditional superheroes ('capes' or whatever we call them) but I really don't think the public perception is a direct result of the content, since they will lap up basically the same content in a different medium. I am forced to conclude that it is likely the medium that does not appeal to them, regardless of content. Probably because they don't want all their friends to think they are a man-child for reading kiddy stories, regardless of what they actually read. Remember, superheroes are only childish and retarded when they're in a comic; when they're in a film, they're cool, especially if there are lasers and explosions, which are the height of entertainment.
