Superfluous Superheroes

You ask why I have two garbage cans? Actually, I need more! Where else can I put all these superfluous superheroes?

Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to crank out another zillion superhero movies, but the first one, Batgirl, went so totally belly-up, they didn’t dare release it. They’ve got this “Extended Universe” thing (https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/13/23300237/dceu-ezra-miller-the-flashbatgirl-black-adam-david-zaslav) which I’m guessing is another flood of stupid superhero dreck aimed at dumbing down the audience even worse than it is already.

All right, I grew up with comic books featuring Superman and Batman et al–but eventually real books took their place. We do not need a different superhero popping out of every port-a-potty.

Apparently the market is getting overloaded with them and Warner Bros. are getting nervous about maybe losing their shirts. How much of this can the public stand? Looks like we might soon find out!

There are already too many superheroes.

If only people could remember–or learn!–how to read.

Pfizer to Kids: Become a Superhero!

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.]

This truly disgusting, this Pfizer ad. Truly loathsome:

PURE EVIL: Disturbing Pfizer Ad Tells Kids They’ll Get Superpowers from COVID Jab (VIDEO)

Yowsah: Taking our “jab” (I really hate that word) will make you a superhero. You will have the qualities of a superhero–one of which is “trying new things.” Like that’s always a good idea!

It’s pitched to young children who have not yet acquired the ability to think critically. “All of us want to be superheroes!” babbles a little girl. Then a bunch of different kids show off their Jim Bob’s Black Belt Karate School karate moves.

This is just one of many aspects of the COVID Jihad that I find sinister. There is no compelling reason to drag children into it. There’s not even a not-so-silly reason. But leftids don’t feel they’re really trying unless they exploit children to get us to do what they want. See any teachers’ strike.

We do not know what the so-called “vaccines” will do to patients, say ten years down the road. They are experimental drugs. There are no long-term studies.

And scream and rail against anyone who shows ordinary common-sense prudence. Anti-vaxxer! Racist! Terrorist! Anti-science! Enemy of The People!

Big Science + Big Government = Big Tyranny.

P.S.–If you want to see the video from here, click “The Gateway Pundit” and then click their post, which contains the video.

‘No, No, Please, No! No “Katana-Wielding Scullery Maid”!’ (2018)

At last! A fantasy novel that tries to give a definitive answer to the age-old question, Which are more obnoxious–zombies or superheroes? And is there any limit to how ridiculous you can make the martial arts?

No, No, Please, No! No ‘Katana-Wielding Scullery Maid’!

The whole blamed point of fantasy is to let the imagination run wild. Here it is locked up in Cliche Camp with watchtowers, guards, and dogs to make sure no original idea can get out or get in.

My sword sensei used to go green around the gills when people came in asking to learn “those jumpin’, spinnin’ kicks” that they see in movies.

Books that make the reader dumber… a growth industry.

 

We’re Short of Heroes

Super Hero Squad: Infinity Sword Quest | ComicReaders

We’ve got superheroes out the wazoo, thanks to our, ahem, “entertainment” industry. Superheroes for every conceivable occasion.

But not for real life. We did have one hero, President Donald Trump, but the global ruling class ran him right over. Took ’em four years to do it, but they did it. And now the good guys are powerless and there’s no one to stop the bad guys from running on all fours into Hell, as St. Gildas once put it.

We don’t need superheroes. We need real heroes–like, for instance, Fanny Crosby. Blinded by an incompetent doctor shortly after she was born, Fanny wrote some 8,000 hymns, many of which are still well-loved today. That’s a hero. Never mind the silly costumes.

Fanny Crosby: America's Hymn Queen   Fanny Crosby

And I’ll bet we could find these heroes, if we looked. Find them, celebrate them, and follow their examples. Most of the good people have been driven out of politics–out of most of our institutions, I daresay. So we won’t look there. They’ll turn up in unexpected places.

But one thing we’re fabulously rich in, and that’s anti-heroes. Bad guys. Huge bad guys like George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, and whoever’s pulling the strings for Joe Biden. And lots and lots of little villains who riot when BLM says riot and think they’re fighting fascism because fascists have told them so. And the medium-sized villains who train and instruct the multitude of useful idiots. Not to mention the bad guys in China, Russia, and Iran.

We pray the Lord our God will turn the ungodly against each other, as He has done so many times in history. When good guys are in short supply, He can use bad guys to tear and rend the other bad guys. Sennacherib, king of Assyria–invincible, the big cheese, proud enough to mock God–first he lost his army to the plague, and when he got back home, his own sons murdered him.

Liu Shao Chi, president of Red China: a devout communist, but the only man in China that had the courage to call Mao out for the Great Leap Forward–an experiment in mass murder that cost some tens of millions of innocent lives. Mao had Liu murdered by his doctors, but not before Liu stopped the killing spree.

God will find persons who will do His will. They will commit crimes against criminals, as did the sons of Sennacherib, or suddenly find themselves moved, like Liu, to stand for the right no matter what the cost.

Be uneasy on your thrones, you self-dubbed masters of the universe. The only God has taken your names, and judgment is coming.

A Quick Question!

I don’t know that anyone has ever asked this question, let alone answered it:

How does Superman get a haircut?

I mean, he’s invulnerable, right? Indestructible. Bullets bounce off him like spitballs. So isn’t his hair like the rest of him? If you could cut his hair, wouldn’t you be able to cut him?

By now he ought to look like Cousin Itt from The Addams Family.

And how would he cut his toenails and fingernails? The scissors or nail clippers would just break–right?

Someone ought to have thought these things through.

More and More Ridiculous

Superhero - TV Tropes

So what have they done about systemic racism lately?

The Ban Everything movement has moved on to… superheroes, in a piece written by some airhead at Time Magazine (https://www.foxnews.com/media/time-magazine-superheroes) who does not appear to understand that superheroes aren’t real.

Yep, superheroes need “a cultural reckoning,” she babbled, blaming “superhero creators for being white men”–forsooth, for being (gasp!) “straight white men.” So the world needs “more creators of color,” yatta-yatta. Uh, so who’s stopping “creators of color” from creating their own superheroes?

Our existing superheroes, she complained, are “vigilantes” who “decide the parameters of justice” without any oversight committee to ride herd over them.

Superheroes are dull, annoying, and vapid at their best. People used to outgrow them, but not anymore. But to make them even more dull, annoying, and vapid, this lulu at Time sez superheroes from now on ought to “reckon with issues of systemic racism”–which is imaginary, and only Far Left Crazy types believe in it–along with other burning issues like transphobia, homophobia, and phobophobia, etc.

Assorted “critics” have objected to this essay, perhaps moved by a suspicion that bad movies should not be made worse. A movie which you watch to relax shouldn’t be turned into a nagathon. It shouldn’t pepper you with woke crapola.

What do we have to do to shut these people up?

Honk if you think we need to bring back the ducking stool.

‘Comic Book to Offer “Trans” Super Hero’ (2016)

I refuse to post a picture of a “trans” anything. Here’s a lightning bug instead.

Look at that: four years ago they were already ramming “transgender” down our throats.

Comic Book to Offer ‘Trans’ Super Hero

Scripture is full of heroes, real heroes–the Apostles, David, the judges, the prophets, and more. But they’re all real heroes. And heroines! Real people who do what has to be done, and can do it because they have faith and God helps them.

The whole superhero thing has begun to make me queasy. Like, who needs God when you’ve got superheroes?

We do, bhai! We do. And now more than ever.

Make a friend of this fallen world, as God’s word warns us not to do, and it’ll bite you with poisoned fangs.

A Superhero Quandary

It’s a freakin’ comic book!

You think it’s easy being a superhero? Hah! If only it were just a matter of saving the world, yeah, sure, they can handle that. But all this other stuff–! Like for instance:

https://www.newsarama.com/45468-marvel-studios-exec-calls-x-men-name-outdated.html

Alas, the X-Men have been told their name is obsolete. They were good enough to let a bunch of female superheroes into their club, and by including them, they laid themselves open to being called uninclusive. So Marvel Comics’ executive vice president says the X-Men brand is outdated. Looks like they’re gonna need a new one.

“X-Persons”? Wow, doesn’t that have a ring to it!

And I just thought of another promble with “X-Men.” What if somebody who doesn’t know comic books should hear that as “Ex-men”? They might think “former men.” Trannies, maybe.

How about “X-Bipeds”? Or “X-Living Organisms”? Nah, not inclusive enough.

Ooh-ooh, I’ve got it! The new name for the X-Men!

Brand X.

There! Absolutely can’t beat that. Problem solved!

Oh, Noooo! No Gays in ‘Black Panther’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See the source image

There’s just no pleasing leftids. They’ve got their first black superhero in his first black superhero comic book movie, The Black Panther–and they’re beefing about there being no “gays” in the movie (http://sandrarose.com/2018/02/black-panther-packed-action-diversity-no-gays/).

There are rumors that “gay” scenes were cut from the movie, but Marvel Studios says no, never happened.

Obviously the only thing that’ll float their boat is another movie featuring a “gay” superhero with a fabulous cape. The Calico Catamite. The Silver Sod. Filigree Fairy. I mean, really–you’re Hollywood, you just can’t sleep at night unless you’ve done something to befoul our culture.

And then some other victim identity group will be jealous and there’ll have to be a caped superhero for them, too. The wheelchair-bound, in-a-coma, lactose intolerant, here illegally, totally incompetent, unintelligible, ADHD superhero  with shaving cream on her head instead of hair.

Oh–and please watch out for intersectionality. Y’know what? It just totally doesn’t matter what that is.

This is what happens to a Godless civilization.
