Father of Marvel: Why do people like superheroes?

Speaking of American blockbusters, we have to mention Marvel. The heroes of Marvel have made many children dream about becoming heroes, and inspired so many people to cheer and cheer for them. Many of Marvel's characters are household names, such as Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Thor, etc. The creator of these heroes is Stan Lee, known as the father of Marvel. The 95-year-old Stan Lee shared his creative experience in an interview.

First of all, Stan Lee believes that the reason why people like superheroes and that people always want to have greater abilities, more talents and abilities to do things is because everyone wants to surpass themselves. When he sees these characters, he puts himself into them. When Stan Lee creates, he usually designs a villain that is more powerful than the protagonist, and then uses various methods to make the protagonist gradually stronger, and finally defeats the villain, and the audience will also get satisfaction from it.

Secondly, when designing heroes, Stan Lee believed that flaws must be designed for heroes to make them appear more real, because no one is perfect. Among Marvel's heroes, there are some who have trouble with their eyes, some who have heart problems, and some who worry about money all day long. This can make the audience feel that these heroes are not much different from the people they usually know. The more realistic the characters are and the more real the elements in the story are, the more people will accept your superhero.

Finally, Stan Lee gave a piece of advice to all creators: do it for yourself. He would never try to write a story that others would like, because he didn't know what others liked, and he firmly believed that there must be many people in the world who had the same taste as him. As an author, if you stay true to yourself, chances are there will be a lot of people like you, but if you try to write a story that someone likes, you're not likely to know that person as well as you know yourself.
