Re: It does take place in, like, 1962.
(Anonymous) 2018-10-24 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)2. You should read some comics actually written in that era. They're full of superheroes and supervillains with advanced technology. And at the end of the day, Western society at large still pushes back against the "stay at home dad" concept. If the movie was set tomorrow, that part of it would still be "historically accurate." Breaking down and normalizing dads as the at-home parent, particularly in entertainment directed at children, is important in the same way that other types of representation are important. Doesn't mean you have to watch it, but it still serves a purpose.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-24 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)If you want to normalize stay-at-home-dads than fucking normalize it. Treat co-parenting as something normal and that a character with a teenage child has over a decade of experience at, not something that a character has to "learn how to do" years after his little missus popped the kids out. Normalize the parenting, not the resistance/resentment to parenting and confusion/incompetence at it. You've completely missed the point of my criticism. I don't care that they have a stay-at-home dad. I care about how they portray it.
