The use of stereotyping
in comics is a very interesting and controversial topic, especially now when
everything is so politically correct. stereo types are used for audiences to
understand a character in a quick and efficient manner. Especially where space
may be limited in comic books, and movies. But I definitely feel that these
harmful stereotypes hurt the cultures and people they exaggerate and I do not
feel that they are necessary in creating these types of character designs.
But not all stereotypes are
bad and cause offense to people. Sone stereotypes are used to describe
characters for example heroes are stereotypically buff strong men. While these
types of stereotypes don't typically
offend people, They usually makes the story boring and predictable. its not fun
when you watch a film or read a book/graphic novel and your able to know the
personality and use of a character as soon as they are introduced. But I do I
think as long as using stereotypes helps
move the story forward I think they can be used in comic books and movies. For
instance in typical Disney movies the hero’s are usually dashing young men who
save the day and get the girl. In the movie Frozen Disney used stereotypes to
misdirect the audience for a surprising ending. The made the dashing young
prince the villain. Which was a good way to uses stereotyping
