I can occasionally be a classy lady

Jun 17, 2011 11:46

It's Friday. I so rarely get the weekend itch, but today I have it. I stayed up all of half an hour later than my usual last night, and I'm paying for it today. I almost called in sick because that's how alluring my bed was. Now that I'm at work, I'm going through my tissues like mad because something's in the air. I should probably go get some ( Read more... )

comics, batman, harry potter, movies, iron man, x-men, meta

Well, at least I feel less bad about my inability to see any of the big superhero movies this summer. Apparently they all suck before they even hit theaters or anyone has seen them.

They don't all suck. Thor was fun, and it introduced some magic into Marvel's otherwise decidedly science-oriented fiction, which is an interesting line to walk. X-Men: First Class is flawed, but not fatally so. Honestly, given that I keep trying to work out reactions to it, it must be doing something really right. Captain America may suck, but it will still have Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull, so I cannot even be arsed to care about quality.

That just leaves Green Lantern. Way to drop the ball, WB. I held out hope that I would be wrong about that through at least the first two trailers. No longer.

It's really just as well comics are dying. Sooner or later I will forget that I ever liked them, and stop caring if the movies are good or not.

Aww, no one wants that. Is this bitterness long-standing or is it in response to the latest DC reboot thing?

...Tony Stark also inherited a lot of money. The difference, as I see it, is not who inherited or who worked at business (since Wayne definitely has his moments as CEO). It's that Wayne chose the hero path a lot earlier than Stark did. Both were only capable of being the heroes they wanted to be because of their privelege, though.

I realized after I wrote it that, yes, Tony Stark also inherits money. I guess what the real flaw in the argument is (or, conversely, what the argument should be about) is how the productive effort, versus just being, like, a CEO, always seems more admirable. There's very little paper-pusher jujitsu that can impress people who aren't paper-pusher ninjas themselves. Tony Stark built a suit in a cave. FROM SCRAPS.
