Lord of the Rings is awesome. The book is even more awesome.

I actually think that this was one of those rare times that I liked the movie more than the book.

what is really interesting is how everyone is naturally inclined to an agent, usually with supernatural powers, that rises above the ashes of despair and cynicism to restore an entitled sense of justice not found in any darwin theorems/theories, doesnt it remind of 'someone'

Good observation. Are you trying to say God is just a superhero made up by people who feel like there's no justice in the world?

you ask all the wrong question because you're more concerned with something you ll never attain: be cool.

Sometimes the fantasy is just better than reality baby! Speaking for myself though, I think it's because this was part of my childhood so my curiosity flowed over into adulthood. What I am most attracted to now though is not the save the world plot that these movies all have in common but to see how they flesh out and give dimension to the characters.

You mean the one where they took a tour of the studio?

Different perspectives. My twist isn't any more right or wrong than yours.

Jesus

That honestly did not come to my mind at all and that was probably whom he was referring to.

He referred to the Darwin theory. It was pretty obvious what he was referring to, even though he's trying to put a double twist in it now

it really does nothing but echo slogans and platitudes we hear everyday, thats why batman and ironman stand out imo less morality more questions and empowerment of the human.

whats my twist? and if it my statement and observation than i can definitely tell you that you got the 'wrong' twist. The point here is asking 1. why this sense of justice that is not supported by nature? and 2. why look for an over-man type of agent to enforce it? why defer that responsibility?

FYI in case that was missed in my post, i am not looking for 'your' answers

Did you know that superman was created to be a modern retelling of Jesus ?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

not to give any spoilers, but do you really see the villain's vision as flawed?

Honestly God and Jesus were the last thing on my mind. Now I feel like Satan.


Anyway D, to answer your original question, I think people generally love a good superhero because superheroes project a far superior version of of the human persona and portray characteristics that we probably won't mind having ourselves. It is the fantasy of what we wish we could be/do. In addition to this we also see part of ourselves in them. Haven't most of us fallen at some point and rose from whatever personal ashes? Superheroes represent a supersized version of it. So the "someone" may just very well be a projection of the me I want to be.

no matter the ulterior motive, the signs are pretty clear, but it's funny to see some who show reticence to that sort of concept only to go googoo gaga over superheroes
