    Fiction must contain ideas, which give significance to characters and events. If the ideas are shallow or untrue, the fiction will be correspondingly shallow or untrue. But ideas must be experienced through or with the characters; they must be felt or the fiction will fail also.

    “I could not bear to see him like this, to see someone with his potential so humiliated, so diminished, was a terrible thing. Sivana’s mind was thought to be too difficult to manipulate and push as Braniac did the other villains. He wasn’t a threat. Only an irritant.”

    Captain Marvel is one of those characters that you can’t help but like. He’s selfless to a point that makes you stop and think, “wow, I wish I could be like that.”
