The sun rising over the peaceful blue Earth. VOICE OVER The Monks have been with us from the beginning. Primordial soup: a fish heaves itself from the swamp, its little fins work like pistons to drag itself up the bank, across the sandy earth. The most important and monumental struggle in the planet’s history. It bumps into the foot of a Monk, waiting for it. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They shepherded humanity through its formative years, gently guiding and encouraging. Cave paintings: primitive man. Before them, what can only be a Monk. It holds a spear, presenting it to the tribe of men. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) Like a parent clapping their hands at a baby's first steps. Another cave painting: a herd of buffalo, pursued by the men, spears and arrows protruding from their hides. Above and to the right, watching, two Monks. Benign sentinels. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They have been instrumental in all the advances of technology and culture. Photograph: Edison, holding a lightbulb. The arm and shoulder of a Monk next to him, creeping into the frame. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They watched proudly as man invented the lightbulb, the telephone, the internet...

When classes started this past September, my view of antiheroes was limited to reflections on my favorite Marvel characters and Disney’s infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. Reading through the syllabus, I thought that my favorite texts and media from the class would be Frank Miller’s Batman and Joss Whedon’s Buffy both because they were familiar and because they seemed to have obvious antiheroic characters.

TARDIS. DAY. 1 The Doctor. Straight to camera. THE DOCTOR So there’s this man. He has a time machine. Up and down history he goes, zip zip zip, getting into scrapes. He runs up the steps to the gantry. Runs his finger along a shelf of records. THE DOCTOR (CONT’D) Another thing he has is a passion for the works of Ludwig van Beethoven. And one day he thinks, what’s the point of having a time machine if you don’t get to meet your heroes? He finds the one he’s looking for. Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. THE DOCTOR (CONT’D) So off he goes to eighteenth century Germany. But he can’t find Beethoven anywhere. No one’s heard of him, even his family don’t know who the Time Traveller’s talking about. Beethoven literally doesn’t exist. He takes the record from the sleeve, blows the dust off. THE DOCTOR (CONT’D) This didn’t happen by the way. I’ve met Beethoven. Nice chap. Very intense. Loved an arm-wrestle. No, this is called ‘The Bootstrap Paradox’. Google it. He puts the record down, finds his guitar. THE DOCTOR (CONT’D) The Time Traveller panics, he can’t bear the thought of a world without the music of Beethoven! Luckily he’d brought all his Beethoven sheet music for Ludwig to sign.
