Something that has been written before, but this time it's SPECIFIC TO ME SO YOU TOTALLY CARE NOW!!
Here's why superheroes are important. ARTHONIEL-STYLE!
( X-Men and Iron Man and Spider Man, oh my! )
( X-Men and Iron Man and Spider Man, oh my! )
And it's true, Batman is pretty badass. And I really wish they'd do a modern Marvel and DC crossover somehow... it'd be insane and awesome. Because I would love to see that Batman/Wolverine fight too!
I'm well aware that Thor is just Marvel making a profit off of existing Norse mythology... but hey, it worked for them. And it is inspiring me to get more into Norse mythology... I mean, I've always loved Greek and Roman mythology, so why not Norse mythology too?
You're right, I don't need to take a specific class to get this paper out there... but if it exists, it's a class I would really love to take anyway. And I already study the other parts of this - one of my majors is Creative Writing, after all, which means tons of English classes - particularly characters like the tragic hero. My other major is Theater Arts, so I take plenty of drama lit, and these kinds of archetypes are all throughout those plays, which I kind of love.

A fight between Batman and Wolverine would be like...God...uh...Sephiroth versus...FUCK! Who is badass enough to go up against Sephiroth (besides Cloud, and bad-guy wise)?! Shit. But yeah it would be THAT badass. I mean, you've got Batman, who's cunning and intelligent as hell, and Wolverine, who is pretty much immortal and can self-heal and...damn. The odds look stacked against Batman, but if there's one thing I know about Batman, it's that he could be the underdog in a fight and still find a way to win. And Wolverine is my favorite Marvel character (because he's largely an anti-hero too). That's like, the ultimate showdown to me, pitting my all-time favorite DC hero against my all-time favorite Marvel hero.
Norse mythology is awesome. It's along the same lines as Greek mythology (the Romans didn't invent the wheel, they just renamed it) while still being fairly different. I can't see Marvel being as successful with the Greek stuff as they've been with the Norse gods. I'm glad they went with Norse mythology, because it never gets any attention...unless you love Wagner lol (the ancient Germanic mythology was actually Norse because they came out of Scandinavia =D ). Plus the Greeks are overdone. You can only beat a dead horse so much, you know?
Creative writing? Holy shit. That's your door, right there. =D Out of curiosity, what English classes are available to you at your school? That way you can narrow it down to classes that would allow you to refine this and make it the badass academic paper I know it can be. That way it won't be completely awkward for you. XD I've never taken a theatre class. Mostly because I've always been scared to, even if it focused on something I've always been interested in. Yes, I am the world's biggest chickenshit. lol

And any and all classes in the English department are open to me at Brandeis... you don't have to be a major in a department to take classes in it. In fact, you have to take at least one class in nearly all departments, regardless of your major. And there are a ton of classes, and not all of them are offered every year, so I don't even know what classes I can take... I'm looking into it, though~ And you should totally take a theater class! Theater people are some of the most accepting, awesome people in the world. We may seem a little clique-y at first, but if you just go up to some of us and start talking to us, we're almost always totally cool with it... plus acting is pretty much the most therapeutic thing ever. :D
