    I get that but if we’re talking about creative/“intelligent” people, then there’s a difference between doing advanced VFX work (which is an art form at the end of the day) and manual labor to survive. Isn’t that kind of the whole point? It’s not that carrying wood is wrong, it’s obviously not. But the whole thrust of the comic is they would probably rather be doing something (and we want them to as well) else and would want access to an education because they are the next Einstein. But it’s a little harder case to make when somebody is practicing an artistic craft.

    I bet the people working on effects for Black Panther - since marvel was the example - don’t regret their work and wouldn’t liken it to schlepping wood on foot all day to make ends meet while they never get to practice their craft.
