Have you ever thought about the kind of representation we get from Marvel Comics, TV shows, and movies? I think about this multiple times a day. I'm turning these thoughts into a video series in which I deep dive into different characters and the pros and cons of the representation they offer. I'll be starting with representation as it relates to disability. In the first episode, I discuss Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men, and the tropes his character falls into as well as some of the ways he subverts common disability tropes. You can watch the video on YouTube by visiting the Underground Bookshelf Youtube Channel or by clicking play on the video below. You can also click the PDF button to read the script if videos aren't your jam. If you happen to be a Marvel fan like me and would like more videos like this one, let me know in the comments, on social media, or by email which characters you would like me to cover in the future.
