00:00Does the idea of quote-unquote superhero fatigue concern you at all as you continue to look for exciting ways to tell stories in the genre?
00:09No, not at all. I actually, I question where the fatigue lies and I think, without going digging into the specifics of anything that has or hasn't been successful,
00:23I'm very curious to see what happens around any notion of superhero fatigue when James Gunn's superhero things come out because I think, I don't think the audience is fatigued.
00:36Let me put it that way. I think the audience is hungry. We were just down in Mexico doing a CCXP down there and they are hungry as hell for superhero content.
00:47So I think it's easy to start saying it's a superhero fatigue or whatever. I think people just want fresh story and fresh ideas and fresh storytelling.
00:59And because of the nature of our show being an inverted universe, we're not bound, we're not slaves to the same masters.
01:08We're not bound to the same moral true north that standard superhero things are. So we have no boundaries.
01:16Right. And I am not and never have been invested in this world because you guys wear tights. You could be any characters and whatever you're doing, I'm on board.
01:28Yeah, well, the funny thing is, I don't think any of the actors or anyone making the show treats it specifically like a superhero show because all the characters have to be a little more three-dimensional.
01:40And we can make them a little more three-dimensional because we don't always have to be good. We don't have to be always bad. We can be both. We can have really complicated mixed characters. And I think that makes it much more enjoyable.
