Man I an so sick of all thes touchy, feely super heroes.
Does the working title really need a lot of verification? I am, personally, just really sick of the current trend of the Hollywood types, giving all the super heroes these emotions and feelings. First look at Spider-man. In the comics I grew up with, he was a big nerd who was in love with a woman, yes I understand that, blah,blah,blah. however, in the old comics, Spidey still held the whole Ben Parker fiasco in a higher spot than his need for human companionship. Now, I will admit that the movies are pretty good but, could they not dispense with a tad bit of all that,"I'm inlove with M.J. crap? while I am on the subject. What about Superman? I was never the biggest fan of the guy, I could never understand why he didn't just throw Lex Luthor into the Sun and be done with it. I gotta say though, Superman Returns made me feel a bit better about the guy, except for all the lovey dovey shlock that was put into it. Now the whole Smallville series has got me wanting to burn Kansas to cinders, take that DOrothy and your stupid little dog too, even though Dorothy at least killed her enemy, making her more of a man than our current Kal-el. Sure we all understand that these super humans still have feelings and emotions but where does it stop? Do you not have to come to a point where your needs are totally outweighed by the needs of humanity? Look at Spock in Star Trek 2, he was calm cool and ready to die to save all those idiots on the Enterprise wasn't he? No moaning about death, no crying about his girlfriend, just a self sacrificing"pull the plug Jim", and, boom, on to the sequel. Hollywood even tried to turn Batman into a big baby for a while. Back in the day, he was a guy with a job to do and he did it. They tried to turn him into a goody goody, sad man, I am glad that it didn't stick too much. We always understood that these guys and gals with super powers were human and had feelings but they didn't have to cry like mary's because of it. When a comet the ssize of Texas is heading for the planet, that is not a good time to figure out the deep seated problems you have with your love life. When that happens it is time to fly up and kick some comet ass. If you are dating someone who doesn't get it, just send them a dear John letter and go beat the hell out of the threat to humanity if you care so much. If your significant other can't understand that, well, there is plenty of burn off area in the thermonuclear heart of the Sun for them as well. I don't think I am the only one who sees this developing problem in Sci-fi these days. Even Darth Vader, who I thought was so cool in the original Star Wars, became, in the prequels, a whiny bitch of a guy that had all those misunderstood "feelings". There is only one way to put it and it comes from one of our greatest heroes of all time. I refer of course to Shortround, who said it best. " No time for love Doctor Jones! Now stop all the cry babying and do your job!
