Ugh, not another "no but what if comic book characters where really really REALLY real?" story. I'm sick of all this stuff. Ever since Watchmen everyone's all like "well it's like those other super hero movies but I dared, DARRRED to ask what it'd be like if super heroes actually WERE in our world". Yeah jackass that's what ALL super hero stories are about! Let me guess, it's grittier than ever before, right? Does he get stabbed and hit by a bus? Maybe he's impotent? Maybe he has some "pressing real life dilemmas"? Screw you Scott Pilgrim, and screw you "Kick Ass", and screw all you "gritty what if it was like, but real, like REAL?" super hero movies.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
