Matt Murdock and Peter Parker really are very similar huh?
They are “orphans” (or so they’re told)
They were raised by mother and father-figures
Their father figures and mentors died and they couldn’t save them
Their mother figures do their best to support them and their second life
They became vigilantes fighting crime in NYC
They have red suits
They use their special senses
They don’t kill people (usually) but a villain frames them for murder
And their girlfriends die in their arms because they couldn’t save them
Thank you for coming to my TED talk
I was in my Mythology class today and learned about the Oedipus/Electra Complex, which is a Freudian theory that generally means that children tend to subconsciously become sexually attracted to their opposite-sex parent and become jealous of their same-sex parent.
Similarly, other theories state that people tend to choose significant others that resemble their opposite-sex parent.
Then I was rudely reminded by my brain of this:
Marvel was foul for this (Not the creators of Netflix’s Daredevil, but the comic creators).
Her name is literally Elektra Nachios. She fell love with Matt Murdock (a blind man/vigilante), with whom she shared a mentor/father figure, Stick (a blind man/crime fighting cult member).
FOUL—
