Maybe these creators understand the immigrant and "outsider" perspective in that they know being from Brazil ( a melting pot of people) that culture is what it is. A collective of ideas and customs derived from an area one lives but it does not define one's humanity or feelings and emotions. No matter where you are from earth or race, religion, orientation, we ALL have the capacity for love, hope, compassion, etc and all have ideals and aspirations. To try to set one group above others...ie a more superior group ( the west usually) in the world
ie they the best at truth, or journalism or science or intellectual thought or freedom...is borne out of ignorance and arrogance.
Every country in the world have heroes and people, be they from the higher echelons of society, middle class or grassroots,...all want the same thing. It's usually happiness and justice and freedom etc. How they all go about it can vary but Chico's family are simple folk and would be culturally different from the Kents. But they are similar too. You see the love they have for each other and their son and how hard they work and how hospitable they are. I'd say maybe Chico might be a less privileged child than a little Clark because of the fact one was born in Latin America and the other in the American Midwest . But does not make Chico less able to empathize and understand. Fact the less you have and the more you give and open your heart says much about you. All levels and all races and all countries have people who fight for freedom , put themselves at enormous risk, have no safety nets or people to rescue them all the time, sacrifice and have tons of humanity. They work quietly and humbly without need for prizes, unsung heroes, they stay and don't run off on people that need them so they can be comfortable. These are the hallmarks of real heroes and every race and culture have them.
Clark and Diana might be different but they connect with Chico and his family. And Clark's alienness or Diana's roots and background should never be reasons used why they need to be placed in certain relationships . That has nothing to do with anything. They both grew up, live and function on earth. They are already humanized because they feel and want and need and fear. They get tired too. Mental tiredness must be very hard on them. The things they have to do and endure not many other people do. And you need downtime it is true. But I think you need someone who understands how you feel and what this downtime means to you because they walk in your shoes. This is why this story with Clark and Diana together is good. They could have done him and Batman but they choose him and Diana because you know its two people that need this and they definitely will have a relaxing time together. I have hated in recent times the xenophobic ideas pushed by usually some Superman writers about Diana. And to some extent even Clark. Watering down his heritage just to prop tradition. I think they really don't understand what it means to be Clark. And usually make him out to be this guy who values his heritage less but happy to use what it gives him to praise and save one set of people. Someone like Superman should never even be propping humans only. Here is a man who can travel the universe and meet many different beings and see wondrous things and I am to believe he still sings about one group only as better and waves flags and talks about wars that now are viewed as unjust. It's a mind set that is very old fashioned and arrogant. SM and WW should be universal and all embracing and this simple story aimed at children demonstrated that well. Kudos to the creators.
Chico running around free and bare feet reminds me of myself as a kid. There is nothing like it.
