Question

Why would an image of a hero change over time?

Answer 1

I think it would be A, to appeal to modern day audiences.

Back then women were not as respected and physically capable as men. However women now can do most if not all jobs than men can do. So a hero who doesn’t treat women like they are still incapable may be more appealing than a hero who treats women like children in modern day. (Back then it would have been acceptable or liked)
