Why I am passionate about it:
Superheroes are a family affair in my house. I am a mom of three boys and we have been in deep in the Marvel world since the beginning. I have seen all the movies multiple times with my kids, except for the last two, so don’t spoil it for me. We love the characters and the stories.
As I watch these movies with my kids I look for key messages to highlight. There are so many, but the one I love the most is “Be You”. Big, small, fast, smart, whatever. Marvel shows us, again and again, that we all contribute to something bigger. We all are valuable in our own ways. We don’t need to change for others. All of this in the context of ‘we are part of a team’. It’s an awesome message for my kids. For the last 12 years, I have been hosting what we affectionately call “Snuggle Time” every night in our household. We all jump into bed and more often than not a Marvel movie is the backdrop. We catch up on our day, and I learn what “being you” means for each of my sons. I treasure the experience.
