About the show
Superhero Ethics explores the moral questions hiding inside the stories geeks love — superheroes, sci-fi, anime, fantasy, video games, and everything in between. Host Matthew Fox sits down with a rotating table of writers, critics, and fellow fans to ask the questions these stories raise but rarely answer outright: When is revenge justified? Can a villain be redeemed, or just temporarily allied? What do we owe each other when the stakes are everything? It's not film criticism and it's not a philosophy lecture — it's the conversation you want to have after the credits roll, taken seriously and never joylessly. Part of The Ethical Panda.
