Why Are Looks Are So Important In American Films

No matter the origin, superheroes all have something in common with the other. No superhero is completely unique. If every hero was made entirely different then there would be no way to define a superhero. From nation to nation, superheroes vary, but there are a few things that a crucial to creating a prosperous superhero film, such as: a distinctive outfit, a unique name, a pressing task, and a love interest, no matter where these films are produced.
Looks are not supposed to be everything, at least that is what society has lead people to believe, however, in the realm of superheroes looks are tremendously important. The appearance of a character may be important, but these physical characteristics are more important in some parts of the world
