Why I will give The Flash no props



Alrighty I expect this to be fairly brief for my standards, I just would really like to get this out here. My boyfriend's favorite super hero is The Flash and I quite frankly don't understand it at all, and believe me I'm all for trying to understand things that I don't get about his life. He is WAY into wresteling and I thought it was ridiculous until I heard him out and let him tell me about it and why he likes it and now I totally respect his interest in it. However despite countelss comic related debates, I can't wrap my head around his love of The Flash. I get that he was struck by lightning which is pretty cool and I know Tusch (my boyfriend's name for internet security purposes...no that's not his real name. It's a nickname and I'm going to use it in order to stop repeating the phrase "my boyfriend") thinks it's cool that he is "under-rated" but lets be serious now. For any super hero that I have an interest in I can provide a real legitimate argument for why he is cool. Now I don't have a huge compelling argument for why I DON'T like The Flash, I just don't and I can answer why with a short blurb. He's really not all that impressive. The point I left Tuschar with today as he was dissing my Batman shirt was simply this: Even if we lived in an alternate universe where it was possible to gain super powers by the means that super heroes in the comics we read do and there were supr villians running ramped of equal caliber to those presented in comic books and films, it would STILL be incredibly unrealistic for a guy who's only ability was "super speed" to consistantly defeat said super villians unless you consider retreating and hiding away a "victory". And even if never harmed by a villian due to his ability to flee from the situation he did not save the doomed town that would now need to have a legitimate super hero come and save them from this perrel as The Flash would have to leave the job undone. Yes I know that in his comics he does always reign victorious, but like I said, when compared to others he falls flat, and if you put him in an alternate universe where this was all possible he is STILL unrealistic even within fantasy. If anyone has a real argument for why The Flash is "cool" drop a comment, because I really am curious. Thank ya my fellow nerds, I appriciate your time and oppinions.

Gwen Stacey?!

Thats right folks, we are starting over with this Spiderman on the big screen business and this time, we're doing it right. Gwen Stacey will now be the light of Spidey's eye and his reason to do what he does. Now here's whats up, all you silly folks who like to say that Mary J was Spiderman's REAL love...you're wrong. You know nothing about the comics, you watched Holywoods version of the story, and now suddenly you think you're the expert. Well you're not. The whole movie series is messed up. Spiderman was NOT in fact fawning after Mary Jane when he became Spiderman and yes I know Gwen Stacey got a cameo in the last Spiderman movie...and that also was wrong. Here's the real deal: Spiderman LOVED Gwen Stacey. She was all he wanted. What came between him and his dream girl? She got too close and therefore died as one will when getting involved with the dangerous life of a super hero. Now this being said Mary J came AFTER her death therefore he loved Gwen first and your first love WILL ALWAYS hold a place in your heart making Gwen a more prominant piece to his life anyway. Aside from that after her death there was an entire comic book series dedicated to an alternate universe where she didn't die and they could be together. Why? Because their love was strong and real and way more important than his infatuation with Mary J. By the way that goes back to my comment about her cameo being way false because news flash: Gwen Stacey was DEAD by the time Mary Jane came into the picture at all. And lastly I would like to let you all know that in the new Spiderman movies the wonderful Gwen Stacey will be played by no other than the lovely and talanted Emma Stone! Making it EVEN MORE FANTASTIC! So don't hate people, if you were real Spidey fans, you would want this :)
