Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Antihero, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 01:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

I agree with your edit somewhat--but if you had to defend that edit you wouldn't get very far with your edit summary, since it sounds a bit like "I don't agree", and your opinion isn't peer-reviewed and academically published. I just looked over the article and I have a stronger, different argument for you, along the lines of your "misrepresents the purpose of the antihero in literature" but without getting into a content argument: it's not written by scholars of literature or even culture, and the scholarship on cultural antiheroes in that article is extraordinarily thin. It has a bit of blather (without any sourcing) on Batman and Greg House and Stephen Colbert, and then it inexplicably launches into the lyrics of pop music: I wonder if the four (!) authors wrote this as a joke after they got drunk at a conference.
