How do you figure out what kind of person you want to become? Who has helped shape your identity?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at Henry Cavill’s Superman and his hero psychology. Superman is Jonathan’s favorite pop culture character, and he enjoys these movies despite their faults. Alan… doesn’t like them. Regardless of their differing opinions, they talk about Henry’s Superman as someone who struggles with identity and receives mixed messages from parental figures. Jonathan shares identity status theory to explore how Henry’s Superman actually becomes Superman. And Alan shares his contempt for all these movies.
