Yup. I will be referring anyone who disputes the scientific assertion that our species are all marginally better formed monkeys to this subject.

And the lessons weren't even sly about it. Here's Stan Lee demonstrating very overtly for many millions of children that prejudice is evil, compassion will overcome and that the human spirit is indomitable. Every struggle had a parallel, ideally hoping to help a little in forming empathy. This isn't exactly Shakespeare on the page, but it's not hard to cut through and feel the purity of the writer's intent. Stan always said he wanted his stories to reflect the world around us. And a lot of these unwashed knobs want to salute his legacy without understanding how deeply he cared and wanted to impart that same feeling on to younger generations.

So, they're older now. Still obsessed with heroes and villains in the world, completely unable to identify which is which.
