I had a $200 textbook when I was in college in the late 1990s in the US. That appears to be around $375 when adjusting for inflation.
And I'm sure I was far from the only person who had a professor who made us buy the book he wrote and then never use it in class.
I'm fine with Aquaman as a hero. But "I'm a normal person who learned to breathe underwater and talk to fish because my dad learned the secrets of Atlantis" is very silly.
