Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life

Wo ho te sεn, comicvine?

You guessed right, friend. This is ananti-mimesisphilosophical blog based on Oscar Wilde's 1889, i think it was 1889, essay "The Decay of Life" that life imitates art. I just now got done watching a pretty old and outdated movie based on real life human-beings adapting pseudonyms, wearing unique comic book like outfitsand engaging in many forms of activism... Including standing up against criminals at night time. This movement are nation wide. Australia, England, Italy, Mexico, Liberia, America, Canada Norway, etc and growing. Make no mistake, many have faced some real life threatening situation like the leader of a costumed organization that call themselves "The Rain city Superhero Movement" Phoenix Jones whom real name is Benjamin J. Fodor a 24 year old MMA fighter was shot, stabbed and had his nose broken from trying to qualm a drunken fight between two strangers when one of the men brandished his gun and another sucker kicked Mr. Fodor in the nose or many other being harassed by citizen, criminals as well law enforcers. Granted the idea of Real life people pretending to be comic book heroes is ridiculous, but their courage and actions does have a powerful and positive effects on those that have witnessed them in action. Lately these "RLSH" are displaying behaviors that is.. Different than the normal law abiding way of "Saving

The Day" like taking the law into their own hands like the rain city organization member named Bee Sting, a 36 year old Iraq Veteran, whom was arrested on a felonious assault charges from pulling out a shot gun at a potential peace disturber. Witnesses claims“Bee Sting approaches the man about how he was driving his motorcycle too loud,” said Odette.The costumed man was equipped with a tactical belt, pepper spray, scissors and handcuffs, and wearing a bullet-proof vest, black leather jacket with a bee logo, shin guards, knee pads, black leather gloves and carrying a shotgun.A verbal confrontation ensued between the men, Odette said, when “It escalates and the suspect, Mr. Bee Sting, according to our victim points a gun at him.” I know what you are thinking: These dudes needs to stop watching Kickass and do like other citizen whom wishes to fight crime and become a cop! but actually Kickass was inspired by real life superheroes whom was running around harassing slumlords in the ghettos of America inner cities in flashy costume during the 50's. could this possibly be a stepping stone of real life Batman or The Punisher? what do you guys think about this potential revolution? Is it crazy or it's just what this generation needs?

It would never actually work. Punisher is the most realistic and I still don't think anybody could do that.

Everything works.

Wouldn't work

Just become a cop and work night shift.

Or go to a third world country where you can do vigilante justice

The first costumed vigilante in real life was a black guy. Nobody expected that. His wife is fine AF though, and THAT is what I didn't expect.

Hmm I was wondering where Prince Ea quoted that from.

Huh o_0

A great idea but impossible to carry out. Knives, bats, guns -- so many ways to kill. How many good samaritans do you know that have lost their lives?

Do what you can, safely -- and before that (if possible) call the police. As for Oscar WIlde -- dude rocks.

Most people who possess the talents and resources necessary to be a superhero tend to realize that there are far more efficient ways to use these attributes to the betterment of society than running around at night, beating up the bad guys one by one.

Most.
