Good grief, these last two topics have put me in a mood.
I ask, WHAT’S WITH YOU LAME-OIDS AND SMALLVILLE?!
Is it because it’s not Batman?(wait that was too easy) This hate-fest is just crazy and getting old. People, it’s the WONDER TWINS. I grew up with them. A lot of us did! Sure those two and their monkey were goofy, BUT it was a cartoon you knuckleheads! You think that they’re going to just go with the cartoon version? Hell no. They’ve made OLIVER QUEEN cool. That’s enough for me as far as that goes. SUPERGIRL was awesome. LOIS IS PERFECTION. Then you have IMPULSE, CYBORG, AQUAMAN, BIZARRO, DOOMSDAY...all have been great.
With the talk of ULT. COMICS and ULTIMATUM and what not, maybe this will try explain what Smallville is. That being: ULTIMATE SUPERMAN. Sure, NO ONE on the television/big screen is EXACTLY like the characters portrayed in comics OR cartoons. So my question is: when have they ever? The SIN CITY, 300, IRON MAN and SPIDEY movies have been CLOSE. Everything else is a big load of, “Hell no.”
Plus, Smallville has the “90210” side to it as well. The Wonder Twins, in my opinion, should’ve shown up during the high school years. But, it’s whatever. It’s just another set of characters to throw in. TOY MAN WAS AWESOME!!(sorry, wanted to throw that in) I guess this mood has to do with the fact that I’m a HUGE Superman fan. And with so much nit-picking and bashing of the character over the years, – whether it be in film, T.V., or in the court of law – in most cases, I’m chalking it up to the fact that Superman is so perfect a super-hero, people begin to hate on him for that fact alone.
Kind of like THE BEATLES or ELVIS in a sense. When they were at the top of their game, critics and whatnot found little quirks or actions just simply because they didn’t like them as artists and/or just people living on Earth. I feel that way about Superman. He’s like The Beatles of the comic book world. You got to respect it at least. If people are talking ‘s’, rolling into it’s 9 season, -- after the same jive-talking before the previous 8 -- then it’s got to be a good thing.
And plus, Superman can kick Batman’s ass. He can take his little belt, wear it as a necklace, shave, break his nose just because, then chuck him into space…towards Saturn…all in 1.9 seconds. (not sorry, and didn’t need to immaturely throw that in, oh well =) I do feel better now.
