The Reality of Real Life Superheroes by Black Knight http://geekin-out.com/hero-or-menace-the-reality-of-real-life-superheroes/#comment-1960 Black Knight Thu, 10 May 2012 18:54:34 +0000 http://geekin-out.com/?p=6626#comment-1960 Very well-written. There are always gonna be a few bad apples, like in any environment. It's only a matter of time before someone like Phoenix Jones gets seriously threatened by a domestic terrorist group (like ALF/ELF) or a local anarchist group. Guys like that are no different than one of these local rent-a-cops who are handcuff-happy and eventually get arrested. RLSH like Old Superhero have made their mistakes, but he's learned his lesson. Now, he's heading a 501c3 (Team Justice). When I joined this community, I was inspired by guys like Superhero and The Eye. Unfortunately, there aren't many positive role models that are well known in the community. The media is the media, and they're always gonna report on people doing stupid shit. Very well-written.

He learns from it and moves on. That and he is okay with the joke; meaning he doesn't take himself too seriously. And he genuinely does good works in his community which I don't think you can say about too many RLSH. The thing I like about you, Malignance, is your mask reminds me of Dr. Zoidberg and that makes me laugh. You villains really do know how to have a good time.

Glad you enjoyed it. I totally agree - the lack of a black or white perspective certainly adds a level of realism to the film, whereas so many post-apocalyptic/zombie/plague invasion movies have the very distinct 'hero' role filled out.

I am witness to some of the biggest felonies in professional that you can imagine, everything you've noted above and more. The ridiculous fonts that are hard to read, people choosing yellow fonts against a while background, or stationary images that make reading the text an exercise in frustration.
