No More Heroes
Filed under: HEROES, SUPERHEROES

We live in an age with too many heroes. Scratch that. Too many superheroes. For crying out loud, no more superheroes.

Seriously, be it benevolent goody-goody hero or your classic Hollywood style anti-hero, we do not need any more of them.

It's time for heroes to go on a well-earned vacation.

Superhero Flicks

Movies... No matter how much I enjoy movies based on comic book heroes, the whole superhero thing is starting to get on my nerves a bit. Never in my nerdish existence have I yearned to see a flick based on Green 'fucking' Lantern. Fair enough, you never know - it might turn into a decent action film. Although with all the superheroes charging across the big screen right now, it just doesn't seem possible people will go insane all of a sudden and crave Green Lantern (boy, that's gotta be the stupidest name for a super hero ever).

Anyway, I'm also concerned about the movie adaptation of Thor. The comics were always there to keep me company when I was a kid. Come to think of it I enjoy reading Thor comics to this very day.

In all fairness, I'm having a tough time imagining Thor on the big screen.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Mixed Feelings

Hey, anybody get a chance to try out Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2? Well, I have and quite frankly it sort of feels less entertaining that the first game. Also, if you're gonna get this game, be sure you have someone to play it with in co-op - it's definitely more engaging that way.

Hm, perhaps I shouldn't have played this game after Batman: Arkham Asylum. In fact, I think from now on, having finished the latest Batman game, every superhero game is going to seem like a huge turd.

If you ask me, so far, Batman: Arkham Asylum is the most serious candidate for being Game of the Year.
