Recent decades have seen the rise of the anti-hero. Beginning in the 1980’s, Batman was retooled from the semi-comic, brightly colored depictions epitomized by Adam West to the very dark, very brooding, very violent Batman depicted by Robert Pattinson in the most recent film. Wolverine took over the X-Men comics – a character with serious temper issues, now coupled with utter cynicism about the very nature of heroism generally in Deadpool & Wolverine currently in release. The most recent Disney Plus miniseries Loki saw the original Avengers villain save the multiverse. Our heroes now look very villainous and our villains have become our heroes.
