Captain America vs. Iron Man

Freedom, Security, Psychology

De: Stan Lee - Foreword, Travis Langley

Narrado por: Reba Buhr, Kevin T. Collins

This provocative collection, edited by acclaimed media psychology writer Travis Langley and with a foreword by the legendary Stan Lee, examines the complex psychological and political choices made by Captain America and Iron Man throughout their careers, culminating in Marvel's superhero civil war which spreads far beyond the Avengers themselves.

Why do Steve Rogers and Tony Stark see things so differently? What are their motivations? Is either one truly in the right? Captain America vs. Iron Man: Freedom, Security, Psychology, our latest entry in this popular psychology series, analyzes the polar sides of this debate - individual freedom vs. national security. How does trauma shape these heroic characters? What does it take to become a hero? What roles do empathy, gender, genius, morality, leadership, and teamwork play in starting conflicts and in resolving them?

Fans will find thought-provoking psychological material to contemplate for hours. Do we really have to take sides?

Interesting look into the psychology of a super he

Very enjoyable, run time is very short, so it worked well as a book to listen to on walks.

Interesting psychology dive into Steve and Tony

I liked this but didn’t love it. Kept thinking I would stop listening but couldn’t bring myself to which ultimately means I enjoyed it. The male orator was a bit lacking but grew on me. So give it a listen if you find psychology and Marvel interesting.

The Phycological concepts discussed and linked to characi

I liked how the authors and editors tackled different aspects of psychology in the narrative.

Very Interesting Overall!

As a lover of comic books and psychology, this book allowed both passions to come out and express themselves. Being able to take fictional characters from a comic or a regular book and dissect their morals and values is something that I've always enjoyed. Highly recommend this book!

Good insightful but repetitive

The information is insightful but repetitive and could be told in half the time. Majority of back setting is from the comic book storyline Civil War. There is some information crossing over into the Marvel movies but it seems stuck on the Civil war aspect from the comics.
In short, would I listen to this again No; would I recommend it to anyone No.

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this! It went so in-depth, and was interesting to the end. it hooked me from the start and just furthered my love of these two heroes!

Good insight

I enjoyed this educational perspective of Marvel's Civil War and its characters. It was also good to see it take into account the cinematic versions as well as the graphic novel.

interesting point of view

I enjoyed it I like the contrast and learned interesting facts about both of their origins, u did have issue with them repeatedly calling Capt human...as opposed to a super soldier.
