Lokison 10/22/23 11:45:13 AM #16:	When I was younger I didn't like that after all this time (even with a sliding timescale) his whole thing was being an emo-kid about Uncle Ben dying and thought he needed to nut up and shut up about it. Then I got older and realized how great that character traits is. He's not "wallowing in the past" he's recognizing where he failed, in the biggest fuck up in his life (to him), and using that to motivate him. He's not just forgiving himself and going back to his old self. He works to make sure he never let's a mistake like that happen again. His powers make little to no sense as "powers of a spider", but he developed the tools himself, showing how smart he is. He's an everyman, and that great. He works hard, he's smart, poor. He's awesome, and deals with very real issues. Hardly relatable though when he's always getting really attractive woman to date him, getting rich once in a while, having people that unconditionally love him. He's almost a parents wet dream. --- Word from the wise: Don't drink the under-sink-juice. <cite>Lokison posted [p:976797696] in There are ...

Honestly, superheroes as a whole is a flawed concept whenever you inject even the tiniest realism into it be it modern day surveillance state, the way people actually behave during a crisis or even level of mental instability required to willingly put yourself in harm's way to help people who don't give a damn about you at best and to try and maintain some semblance of a normal life while also doing this, many stories and even meta commentary like to bring up the main things Being a superhero will inevitably make it impossible for you to maintain a job, a social life, personal relationships with friends, lovers or even acquaintances. Being a superhero will cause tons of injuries, some of which you won't fully recover from Being a superhero for years yet not seeing any actual results for your efforts will eventually affect your mental state. There's only so many times you can punch a bad guy put them in jail only for them to either escape and kill more people or despite that guy being put away another dozen or so will take their place and a person you saved yesterday may die the next day to them. No wonder there's so many inverted stories about heroes giving way to cynicism, fascism ,depression, paranoia, guilt complexes, savior complexes, bitterness and outright resentment towards the world around them and people that inhabit it. Just a tiny bit of realism and the superhero genre is a whirlwind of dark,drama and angst writing That's why Iron Man is essentially the most "realistic" and workable according to this breakdown. His powers are technology based and due to his mechanical genius so he doesn't have to worry about frying a girlfriend with heat vision or breaking her in half during sex. He is incredibly rich and already protected/secure/detached from every day life because of his vast wealth. He is already used to a level of public life and celebrity. He is used to dealing with matters of state from his experience in defense contracting. --- Moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.09/2/23 Also moderated for not responding to obvious bait. - 10/03/23 <cite>Torgo posted [p:976827668] in There are ...

I used to enjoy Spider man before his suffering just became the easy way to write him and now Marvel just tortures the fuck out of him every book like he's never allowed to be happy ever and now that's starting to spread to other spiders even ones like miles, gwen, and miguel it feels cheap, cheap, lazy and boring especially because writing torture porn seems to have fooled people into thinking it's good or amazing writing. That's why I haven't read a Spider-Man comic since I was a kid. I stick to the games and some of the tv shows. --- --I understand your opinion.

Torgo 10/23/23 11:56:06 PM #41:	Also, I like Wolverine a lot. He's just cool and tough, and there's something about a nearly un-killable guy that can still get really hurt and fucked up and has to keep fighting. Invulnerable bricks like the Hulk and Superman just absorb and shrug off damage, but Wolverine bleeds and has bones break before they heal back up. You have to develop a superhuman tolerance for pain over the years. He had his memories messed with, he was used by governments as an experimental weapon, he's lived a long time and has seen the world change on the scale of a vampire or elf...makes total sense he's a badass loner but also that he never totally loses his sense of human empathy even if it gets tested a lot. --- Moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.09/2/23 Also moderated for not responding to obvious bait. - 10/03/23 <cite>Torgo posted [p:976827748] in There are ...
