Super Heroes

Watching "Hancock" with my husband, so far funny film. Will Smith is great, so I'm not surprised. But my husband said he's better then Aquaman in super hero terms...now, I love Aquaman and think he gets a bum rap.

Sure, his only super power was talking to ocean creatures and that would fail miserably on land...but how many of us would love that kind of power? I personally think he's one of the better ones.

Superman for example. The guy is an alien and is allergic to his own planet. He can do amazing things and yet he's a whiney little brat. Invincible, fast, handsome...totally unrealistic.

But on the other end of the spectrum you have Batman. Orphan rich kid with anger issues and way too much money. Not invinsible but his gadgets overcompensate for his physical lack. And he's whiney too.

Spiderman...there we have another whiney boy, bit by a spider and now he shoots goo from his wrists...I'd rather not think of what the goo is made of or even how it's physically possible.

And the women super heroes, yeesh! Can anyone say fan service? They have more tits and ass then is humanly possible and you think fighting evil in high heels is something they'd actually do? Have you ever tried just walking in those things? Not happenning.

The X-men are a whole other thing, so disfunctional and their issues are enough to drive a shrink nuts. Though most of their powers are pretty awesome and the fact that they're mutant humans and not alien races that look human is a plus. But still, nearly invinsible and too damn whiney for their own good.

You see a theme here?

Why do super heroes have to be so damn childish? Hancock at least is more human in his emotions, you can relate to him. I like that.

If super heros ever become a reality I hope they're more like that then Superman.
