obsessed with action heroes

for the longest time, we’ve tried to distract jan from superhero figures. we considered them to be inappropriate for his age and really, what good would he pick up from them? in germany, it was relatively easy, as there were lots of other options. there were a variety of well-made children shows that didn’t feature violence and fighting as its main plot.

now that we've moved to singapore, he’s obsessed with action heroes. it is so pervasive, not only on tv, we knew we were facing a losing battle when we implemented a restriction on them in our household.
