“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
I hope it's the end of the dark gothy sort of hero movies for a while. I got sick of that quick. I actually prefer these silly Avenger type movies. They should be fun, not brooding.
"Complicated" isn't the word I would use. "Brooding" is the word I meant and used. There's nothing complicated going on in any of these movies. That's why I just detested that whole Batman-as-metaphor thing we saw spring up after 9/11 and then again after Obama was elected. Complexity was not in the minds of that crowd.
The West has laspsed int a state of advanced SENILE DEMENTIA.
WE, dear children, are on our way OUT.
OZYMANDIAS, here we come –– Right back where we started from! We are not headed to our Graves, But only back into the Caves Where we will find Brutality Instead of Immortality.

ReplyDeleteWhere is BATMAN: for that matter?
ReplyDeleteIs he too busy fucking ROBIN to fight for the Greater Good anymore?
Is NOTHING sacred?
