a lot of folks have their panties in a bunch over that douche bag Ben Affleck getting the role of Batman in an upcoming movie
While I certainly realize Affleck is a total douche-bag who deserves no accolades I must wonder why any adult would truly care. Those movies are for kids and are mostly not worth the money based on lack of quality.
-
good point.
-
Forrest Whitaker woulda been a better choice for batman.
-
Cause we grew up watching that shit, it's nostalgic for a lot of people. Say what you want, but the most recent Batman movies were very good, and you can't blame people for not wanting a tool like Ben Afleck replacing someone that played him so well.

i hate ben asscrack
i sure can't get over worked over this particular role lol

I think why "grown" men resonate with superhero movies is that they relate to the revenge/justice part strongly.
Also that the superheroes are "regular" people that can do extraordinary things.
Then there is simply the entertainment value they have: Good vs Evil never fails as it is part of our earthbound nature.
Here in the US we are almost born with a need for an external enemy of some sort.
There is something quite primitive/savage about the whole fascination.
Never liked any of the Batman, Spiderman or Superman movies myself.

;D

Yeah i dont really get it either. I mean i cant imagine that dude as batman but i mean in general i think super hero's are gay and lame.
Its funny i get paid out for liking anime and video games but i think super hero's are lame and the movies are boring and cheesy.
But Kick ass is cool!

cuz they good movies cuzz

Exactly, you can make a similar case for "grown men" getting upset over their favorite sports teams. It's all about entertainment.

I posted this song because it shows how much grown men can related to superheroes. And if you can't feel this song, and how it feels like your whole family depends on you to put everything aside and be that Superman for them, then you have yet to be a man. I think this song captures exactly what it's like to be a dad, a husband, a bread winner, not being able to call in sick, not being able to show your down, because the moment you are down then your family who depends on you gets scared. I haven't liked Superman since I was a little kid. I was 9 or 10 when I finally went, this guy can't lose, this is stupid. But once I became a father, I understood exactly where he was coming from.
I personally haven't expressed my opinion here on Ben Affleck being Batman, but let's just say it's not a positive one. My wife had to call the police because I was going to jump off my house onto a bed of nails head first after hearing this news. (okay, that maybe a bit of a stretch, but I was not happy.) But here is the reality.
Many of us guys watched these larger than life characters growing up. Just like to a generation of people, no basketball player will be better than Michael Jordan, for many years Babe Ruths numbers were listed off by kids who never lived at the same time as him, because this was their hero. People are big into hero worship. The Greeks created mythology and stories that many comics borrow from; King Arthur was not actually a real person, same with Robin Hood, but the British people spoke of these people as if they truly exist. In American culture, we are still very young so we had to create a mythology of our own. Before it was the cowboys and the legends of Billy the Kid, Jesse James and the Earp brothers with Doc Holiday. Tails of heroes and villains. But as society grew more advance, we made up heroes to fit our time. From the Depression and build up to World War II came Superman, Batman and Captain America. In the 60's, as science became more advance and science fiction was a huge thing, comics EXPLODED and we got Spiderman, the Hulk, Fantastic 4, and characters like Green Lantern and Flash were re-imagined to fit that time. Over years, as more and more kids read these books, watched the cartoons, these characters became part of their childhood and soon past down from generation to generation. Before it was the old grandfather who spoke to the village kids and passed down stories. Now we have TV pass these stories down for us, and these stories are about superheroes. Society still works the same as it's always been, but replace grandpa with TV and King Arthur and Robin Hood with Superman and Spiderman.

Mdogg you bring up a good point. "People are big into hero worship". I mean, yeah some of you people are. It explains the superhero movie phenomenon and also the Obama phenomenon as well. Some people just like being told how great other people are, it makes them feel safe in their stupidity and mediocrity imo.

For as long as there's been people, there has been hero worship. Why do you think Alexander the Great was called the Great and talked about for thousands of years. The 300 Spartans, Athens. You may think others are foolish, but it is at that point you lost your humanity.

So youre doomed to repeat the failures of history? Only a moron would sentence himself to that life and even admit it. Typical liberal douche trying to lecture others on touchy feely bullshit and how if you dont follow the heard you must be some evil person.

No, actually what I am saying is it's natural to look at people and look up to them. Do you not like Ron Paul? Matt Drudge? Mark Twain? There is some author that you read, some person you research, or many people you research. There are people who shape us, everyone from parents to maybe a religious figure or a moral person we admire. These are all forms of hero worship. For many years I denied I had some level of it, I was like my dad is my only hero. But I do study the writings and speeches of Dr. King, Gandhi, and other non-violent leaders throughout the globe. To me, people who struggle and don't bend on their values are true heroes. So in my older, wiser age I realize exactly what I did.
One day when you are a parent (God forbid) you'll see your child look at you like you are the greatest thing that's walk the Earth. You'll realize many things you have done and see life a bit different. I'm able to admit a lot of things now that I wouldn't before. Before I was like, I'm a man, I don't hero worship. Now I realize I do. It's things like that.

i went hard with comics till i was like 14 then i discovered pussy and weed etc. ive tried real hard to get back into it when the movies would drop or i knew a monumental issue was coming out but it just never felt the same.
comics suck now compared to the 80s-90s
most treasured comic owned: hulk 181 wolvies first appearance
-
80's and 90's was the pinnacle of comics to me. So many good stories.

Liking/respecting/being influenced by someone is quite different than worshipping them as heroes.
As great as Mark Twain was he isn't worthy of my worship, neither are any other human beings.

I use hero worship liberally.

For someone to be my hero, I need to at least know them personally, not thru some "Equity and Fairness 103" college course reading. But for you, I guess you get suckered in a little easier. If you ever grow a pair (God forbid), maybe you'll get me.

As I said, over time, I'd call people like Dr. King and Gandhi my heroes, but it could be someone like a parent, a grandparent, an aunt, and uncle.

Always liked that joint.. along with that other joint called "Superman" (If I go crazy will you still call me Superman/ if I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand) that came out around the same time. Those tracks really touched me at an absolutely horrible time in my life.

ANY sort of idol worship is very dangerous.
I always hear dudes talkin about how much of a beast this athlete is, that athlete is etc...Its borderline like they wanna bang em or some shit lol.
-
its good 2 look up to great people, so we can learn how to be great ourselves
worshiping is a whole nother thing, tho

like those crazy fucks who know mj diddled them kids but worship him too much to acknowledge it.
that dude got more idol worship than anyone and he didnt have no authority or nothin.

Hero worship is a side effect of looking up to someone. Not saying hero worshiping is good. I'm saying it happens.

is that anything like ass worship porn?

Rappers I look up to...
2pac
Snoop
Daz
Warren G
Kurupt
Nate Dogg
Suge Knight (I know he's not a rapper but I will add him to the list anyway)
...been that way since these guys came out and I would be lying if I said I didn't still look up to them. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm 30 now, and they are always 10 years older than me. So they are always ahead of me so there is always something to be learned from seeing how they change and adapt to growing older and the changing times.
This doesn't mean that I only look up to rappers. There's other people I look up to. Probably somewhere around two dozen people in this world that I look up to. You would be a fool not to learn from the ways and experiences of others.
-
why do you look up to Daz?
ripping off your fans and smoking crack while dissing your dead homies mother for the same thing?
-

Many reasons why I look up to Daz... For example, I look up to Daz, because I remember when I was going through the worst and lowest period in my whole life in the Spring of 1998, and that RRGB album was like the only thing that made me happy in those days.
Looking up to someone doesn't mean you will do everything exactly how they do it. Sometimes it means learning from their mistakes.

All this because we want to know why people get mad about comics.
Like I was telling my wife, America doesn't have culture. England has Robin Hood and King Arthur, Greeks had their Greek Gods, France has Notre Dame and fairy tales like Cinderella, but America has none. In the 1800's, we tried to create it in Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, Johnny Appleseed and John Henry. But eventually comic heroes came out at the right time, newspapers printed Superman in the comic strips and soldiers were given comic books in World War II for entertainment. Then the stories hit radio and TV, and therefore spread as part of American culture.
As seeing Daz as a hero... hum... at least he can make a good beat.

Hero worship is a side effect of looking up to someone. Not saying hero worshiping is good. I'm saying it happens.
honestly if you think thats a small leap from one to the other, then youre proving my point perfectly as usual

What I have learned over the years, a person looks up to someone, society hero worships! A person looks up to Ronald Reagan, people make it seem like Ronald Reagan's word is next to God's. A person can admire Gandhi, people make it seem like his words are the greatest words ever. A person looks up to Martin Luther King, people make him out to be a saint. That's my point.

you can look up to someone of course. but what youve put forth on here (the only thing i knw about you) suggests that you would be in the category of a "hero worshiper". if im wrong, then thats fine. actually thats good. no one should be foolish enough to worship another human dead or alive.

I guess if you consider Jesus a human and not the son of God, you'd be right. But I consider Jesus the son of God and I do worship God. Everyone else is just a human, and I may look up to a Dr. King for his fight and struggle, but I don't worship him. I may have voted for an Obama, but I don't even consider him a hero, no living person is.
