Hello readers, welcome to yet another discussion of Superhero body image I will be discussing e new sources to justify my point how superheroes are viewed now a days and it's really effecting our society.
Gender Stereotypes!
Media has a great influence on our society, superhero movies have become a big hit now a days making a lot of money and portraying male roles and female roles to society and we seem to accept them. The Avengers earned about $1.5 billion on just ticket sales so we see how comma superheroes have become. We have to look at what they are giving us, stereotypes of genders and we just seem to accept it parents and children go alone with them. in reality, we don't have to let social media shape who we are, we don't put much attention to what they portrait nothing extremely sinful but males always being portrait as the leading role with weapon play and ideal body type and for females they look up to men with all these qualities giving women a false belief on what men should look like. Males are also portrayed as strong, assertive, fast, powerful leaders and women always as talkative , emotional and overexcited like her purpose is not at all important when it should be and that the image we are setting our kids to grow up in. Although the author does not use an opposing argument they give us a lot of facts and relevant and sufficient evidence supporting their argument which makes this article a reliable source. Their thesis, they say they will show us how much superhero programs have influenced gender type roles.

Would you become a superhero if you could?
Many Children have the image of becoming a superhero, usually someone they look up to. Yet little do they know have hard it would be for them. Back when superman came out it was unrealistic for children to become superheroes, since superman came from another planet and was abilities that no human can posses while now Batman is just a normal person who decides to become a superhero except to become him will not at all be easy he is rich and build your body to perfection which is almost the impossible thing to do but to me thats not the point we should all be happy with the way we look yet media does not allow us to be. So, we all have the potential of becoming the ultimate superhero just with todays society not just anybody can achieve such thing you have to have a ripped perfect body for a male and of course females are now allowed to take a leading role but are hypersexualized. This source I believe is reliable they give us a question that they answer with enough relevant evidence to the topic about whether you wanna be a superhero or not and if its achievable.

What would you do to have the perfect body image?
Males feel the pressure for having the perfect body, every male now a days is portrait as perfect their is a lot for them to deal with and some can't achieve it just by intense work outs so they seek another form of help hazardous to their health, steroids. Superstars that play the roles of the superheroes feel the need to achieve such perfection but very hard to achieve. They have lots more pressure they are the role models and that sometimes can get overwhelming. They have to deal with perfect figures and if they can't achieve such things they might even lose the part and they can't afford that that their form of income. we judge them without realizing all the stress they have to deal with is much more than the viewer but still very bad that we want to look like superhero portrait in cartoon when we are human and that sometimes or will always be unachievable.
