THOKK! Right in the Superheroes.

I hate superheroes. I never used too. I thought they were great. Superhumans fighting crime, and saving the world. But after 9 posts (I know it doesn't sound like much, but that's 9 weeks, and about 500 words per post. That's 4500 words about superheroes) I'm just so sick of it.

There's only so many synonyms for the word supervillian. And I'm sure I've used most of them, if not all. And the villian is always some guy that was either good and turned evil because of some girl that wouldn't fall in love with him, or he was thrown into a vat of acid - or something to that affect.

All superheroes have similar attributes. They're all experts in their professional fields, and have mastered some sort of martial arts. And their powers always include super strength, and a willing urge to save the world from any danger.

People seem to have this mind set, that if they can make the world a better place, they should. Fair enough, if they didn't it would seem a bit selfish, but does this justify putting ones self in harms way. Why not try recycling? Or something that doesn't try to kill you.

The other problem is that the Marvel and DC universes are so vast and so complicated, that if your target audience doesn't have an already working knowledge of superheroes and the worlds they live in, it becomes extremely difficult to try and explain every aspect of it without boring them into an early grave. There's also only a set amount of superheroes that the normal person knows about. After you've exhausted them, you then have to try and explain heroes that they've never seen or even heard about.
By the end of it all they hate your blog. You hate your blog. And the world is probably a better place without it.

I now have a huge respect for Stan Lee, and other comic book writers. They really have to be dedicated to continue to do what they do, like any profession, and still enjoy it.

A tip to anyone thinking about starting a blog - don't do a specific topic you like. Because by the end you're going to hate it, and are going to want to stab that topic over and over again. It's like over-listening to a song you like. It gets burned into your brain.
Then you start hating that part of your brain, and you try to figure out ways to kill it.
