Between this year's
Mirror Mask and
Snow White and the Huntsman and forthcoming retellings of
Beauty and the Beast and
Hansel and Gretel -- not to mention recent reexaminations such as
Soon I Shall Be Invincible and
The Magicians -- the mythology of fairy tales and superheroes is embedded in our popular culture. But some of the characters aren't quite what they used to be. Discuss the enduring power of these archetypes and how they can also be reinterpreted with panelists
