For my next video I want to explore the relation between masculinity and heroic stories, I know a large portion of my audience is male, so I figured it'd be interesting to do a critical, yet constructive, deep dive into manhood.
I'll review a number of the male heroes that I grew up with and look up to - think; James Bond, Iron Man & Batman for the most archetypal examples - and critically examine the fundamental traits that bind them, which I'll refer to as the myth of heroic masculine purpose; a myth that I've always found, and still find, very inspiring, yet it is also one that can feed into grandiosity and egoism, and should therefore be treated with some reflection and carefulness.
