Thanks for your thoughtful post! I hav...Jacqueline,<br />Thanks for your thoughtful post! I have to agree that conflicted heroes make the best heroes. Take the more recent Batman films--Christian Bale does a remarkable job as a truly "human" Batman. <br /><br />When you pose the question of whether or not one would have the fortitude to serve others with their powers, the recent Will Smith movie "Hancock" comes to mind. <br /><br />Physical challenges, especially in Batman's and Spiderman's cases, do provide a valid basis for character development, as they are more limited in superhero characteristics. <br /><br />Remember the Flash? The Green Hornet? :)Legendary Lightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858306840736739411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31801608.post-68958672488701220532009-06-10T18:17:15.773-04:002009-06-10T18:17:15.773-04:00Great superheroes and great reasons - great post!Great superheroes and great reasons - great post!Ophelia Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424224315791620172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31801608.post-26874990446034376412009-06-10T18:13:51.338-04:002009-06-10T18:13:51.338-04:00I found this blog on twitter via Mary Cunningham
M...I found this blog on twitter via Mary Cunningham<br />MaryCunningham Who are your superheroes? http://www.teen-seen.blogsp...<br /><br />I am of course a double-dyed SUPERMAN fan, adored LOIS AND CLARK, and still watch SMALLVILLE. They've introduced one of my other comic favorites GREEN ARROW, and veered into the comic-universe creating the League.<br /><br />I love some of the Batman stuff, and I do appreciate the camp-comic approach some of the movies had. <br /><br />The Spiderman films are top notch fare. <br /><br />I like my superheroes conflicted, and seriously challenged by the plots, ethical challenges, emotional challenges, but the simply physical challenges (like Superman fighting denizens of the Phantom Zone or refugees from Krypton) just don't seem to add anything.<br /><br />That's why they keep taking Clark's "powers" away from him; to test the mettle of his character without "powers." <br /><br />The key question is, if you were suddenly gifted with "superpowers" would YOU have the fortitude to employ those powers in the service of others? Would you dare to attract the notice of those who could overpower you? <br /><br />I retweeted a quote today on twitter that seems to pertain:<br /><br />RT @skydiver QUOTE!!! EVERYONE should memorize: "Never anger the dragon, for you are little and go well with ketchup."<br /><br />Jacqueline Lichtenberg<br />http://twitter.com/JLichtenberg <br />http://www.simegen.com/jl/ <br />http://www.slantedconcept.comJacqueline Lichtenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613040740264804278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31801608.post-48473768291151901852009-06-10T17:17:20.412-04:002009-06-10T17:17:20.412-04:00I loved Arwen in LOTR, and "Stider" was ...I loved Arwen in LOTR, and "Stider" was certainly easy on the eyes, too. <br /><br />Your heroes have my vote, Pam! <br /><br />Mary<br /><br />http://www.cynthiasattic.blogspot.com<br />http://www.marycunninghambooks.comMary Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377529303481858837noreply@blogger.com
