Listen "Men in Tights: Masculinity in the MCU Part 4"
Episode Synopsis
We’re capping off our series with a bonus category: transgressive masculinity. How does “coming out of a bottle” disrupt the inherent contradictions of what makes the ideal man? How does “feminized” framing influence how male characters are perceived by other characters and the audience? We look at Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes to answer these questions. It's been a time with this masculinity series—thanks for riding the elevator with us today!
