>>82236410>>82251052 Capecomics are a form of modern mythology, their characters personify a cultural zeitgeist of moral and ethical public debate in much the same manner that the ancient Greek pantheon represented the forces of the ancient world.
Just as The Punisher became a viable expression of moral outrage during the crime-rate increase of the '80s, Ancient Greek myths that humanized to vilified Hades or Ares were reflective of changing social norms about how death and war were perceived.
If you don't believe me, just think about how radically different the "heroics" of Batman and Superman are from the first few years of their stories: back then the rules of what was socially acceptable as moral or ethical were different from today.
tl;dr: capecomics are culturally valid
