Fads aren't 30 years long, generally. Are they?

Exactly. Fads are things such as bell bottoms jeans. The 16 year old doesn't seem to understand just because something is at a high point does not make it a fad. and really you can go back further than 30 years if you wanted to talk about comic books in movies.

So if you wanted yo ucould say that comic book movies go back all the way to the 40's. So I assume things live electricity, Televevision, cars, airplanes. All just fads.

Should we talk about comic books on tv to or is that just a fad also?
