A Philosophical Look Into Superheroes Hafiz Wamiq, Ahmed Hasan, Ali Zaka, Abu Bakar, ARQ, et. al.

This live session offered an in-depth philosophical exploration of superhero narratives and their influence on global storytelling. It critically examined themes such as the white savior complex, the portrayal of America as the world's sole savior, the stereotyping of Muslims and The Orient, and the implicit suggestion of colonialism as a positive force within these stories.

By unpacking the cultural and ideological frameworks that shape these narratives, the session shed light on how superhero myths often reinforce power structures, perpetuate biases, and glorify the legacy of colonialism under the guise of heroism and global "rescue."

This thought-provoking discussion invited participants to reflect on the subtle yet profound ways in which these narratives shape societal perceptions and global ideologies. Aimed at enthusiasts of philosophy, media studies, and cultural critique, the session provided a platform for examining the intersection of entertainment, politics, and cultural narratives.
