Many of the details of the article suggest that having filmmakers, up and coming or not, doing superhero movies is a problem.
A Review of "Blade Runner 2049 and Philosophy"
That they should use philosophy of superheroes success to fuel more independent projects then superhero films. One of the examples given is Darren Aronofsky going from the success of Black Swan into his ultimately canceled sperheroes in The Wolverine, https://digitales.com.au/blog/wp-content/custom/the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-technology-in/physical-science-essay.php loosely based sequel to the film X-men Origins: Wolverine.
But why should that matter? After all, a superhero project does have enormous potential for the filmmaker in question, and I am not just talking about the paycheck or the box office boom that comes with it if the filmmakers do it properly. In some of my recent philosophh posts I have spoken about the idea of superheroes as a modern mythology, the idea that there are all kinds of disparate philosophy of superheroes to the superhero story that can cross genres and be relevant to even non superhero fans. This has never been more true than in what I am talking about now.

Consider for a moment, the idea of Superman. Some look at a superhetoes like that and just see an alien with powers and outdated ideals, but I see the ultimate immigrant story. Superman is the modern retelling of the story of Moses. A child set among the intergalactic river to live with a new family, who grows up and develops incredible powers to set people free from the pain and suffering they go through every day. Batman is the story of Hamlet, a man struck by tragedy that swears vengeance against the person or people who destroyed his father and ends up consumed by it. Spiderman in some ways is a combination of both. The stories of Moses and Hamlet philosophy of superheroes considered by many to be universal truths.

Why not then phi,osophy modern equivalents? Many comic books have dealt with a story similar to that of Black Swan, yet Aronofsky should be praised for one and looked down upon for another? This goes back to the bias or stereotype which some filmmakers have about the potential for philosophy of superheroes or comic books in modern storytelling, a problem which largely comes out of the fact that these films have to come from Hollywood because they are too big to be played out anywhere else.
