His introduction to the MCU was \u201dThe Marvels\u201d. He was 8 years old, was amazed and loved it. The humor, the possibilities, the heroes, the warmth and care, the imagination. Since then he\u2019s been obsessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I introduced him to the comic books as well. We live in Sweden and it\u2019s quite difficult to come across Marvel comics in Swedish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We order them through Retrobokklubben (Retro Book Club), and we dig around at thrift stores for old comic books. Sometimes he read them by himself, and sometimes we read them together aloud, voicing different characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been quite a fuzz about how \u201dwoke\u201d the MCU has become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan at all of the comic books, you know that Marvel has always been \u201dwoke\u201d. For me, that has been one of the best parts of the tonality and storytelling of Marvel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To speak up against racism, sexism, homophobia and bullying. To show what can make good humans make bad decisions. How we\u2019re all beings who in and by ourselves deserves to be respected. That\u2019s often the point of a lot of these stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and by the way! The new Spiderman series (Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) is great. It\u2019s also \u201dwoke\u201d as fuck. Go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoy watching the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) continuously.
