Why, bloggity, must be your lucky digital day - two posts a day!
Don't you snort at me! Respect for your creater! hey hey - no throwing stuff either!
Anyways, basicly, this post was inspired by Superman. My fetish with superheroes is quite excessive, and Im sure if I had a proper place to divulge myself in comics, I would. However, wikipedia&net is unfortunately the only accesiable place in which I can transmit my geekyiness, and news is Superman quit his American citinship. Superman, I think, is DC's most iconic 'All-American' hero, and hearing him quit the citizenship is a brilliant way to gather a story and a heated debate. He is the all corny superhero that would stand next to the blue and red flag and salut his country with words of justice and iconics sentences that get most Americans crying, but I do think, him being Superman, he has a bigger debt to the world then that. Superman knows he saves the world, and although he mainly dedicates his time to America, his an international hero. It's only fair that other countries understand and know this. Politics shouldn't be in the way of Superman's ultimate mission, and I'm quite frankly tried of people say 'the american dream is what Superman stands for.' Although his colors represent america, it is time for him to be more. Superman will always have the American ambition at heart, but it isn't fair to see heroes always embracing the idea that everything ideal is automatically American. Being a superhero shouldn't be about national pride, or where your home-town is; it should be about dedicating your life to helping others. ANY others. Superman seems to me like Captain America, in a way; always endorsing his patriotic side. Although 'truth, justice, and the american way' is something Superman will always stand for, I believe he will always stand for his main title first: a superhero. A superhero doesn't care about countries, nationality, etc. and by superman quitting his citinship, his proving his fair to all.
That's the way I see it folks :D
