I don't watch too many tv shows on a regular basis BUT I have to admit it-
I'm totally addicted to Who Wants To Be A Superhero?
Anybody else? Please tell me I'm not the only SuperGeek here!
PS~ I want Fat Mama to win!

:lol: It's a funny show.
However a couple of Stan's remarks had me going :wtf: Like when he said "Superheroes don't kill people." Maybe golden age superheroes, but I do remember quite a few villains deaths caused by superheroes.

Or what about his constant nagging of Major Victory for his "stripping" when he has a poster of Striperella right behind him?
I think if they have a season 2 I'll audition as The Girl Next Door. Most of the people on the show this year were assmonkeys. Go Fat Momma!

Overall I think that Superheros aren't really supposed to be killing people but in their business it's bound to happen sometimes. I think the point was that they're supposed to save people- even the villans- if possible.
As to the stripping thing... he is/was a male stripper. :lol:
Then again I don't ever remember Spiderman, Superman or Batman intentionally removing their costumes while working.
Feedback is at the least annoying and at the most a drama queen, "Oh, Stan... you're like the Dad I never knew! *sniffle*. You know *sniffle* he died and *Sniffle* Spiderman raised me...*WAAAHH!*"
Please eliminate him!

Superheroes don't kill people. Can't have the beloved superhero being responsible for a death now, can we? If the villain wants to fling himself at the superhero at the top of a sky rise building and the superhero ducks, well that's not the superhero's fault really when the villain plummets to his death.
I can't speak for every superhero movie ever, but most of the ones I've seen, they Do Not Kill the bad guys. When the bad guys die, it's always by their own stupidity or accidental.
Now, what's this show? A reality 'idol' thing about superheroes? Wha..? Does anyone fly?

:lol: movie :lol:
Movies are generally botch jobs. But if you want to see a "super hero" that kills, watch Punisher (there 2 movies).
And didn't X-Men 3 end-up killing a few folks. I mean, what do you call the ending?

Basically it's a "reality" type show. Each person in the contest made up their own Super Hero- strengths, weaknesses, costumes, etc.
They are living together in a house (The Lair) and Stan Lee (creator of great Super Heros like Spiderman) is putting them to the test.
Basically they are living AS the Super Heros they created. They have to personally prove that theirs is the best and most worthy to become the next comic book hero.
They are discovering that being Super Heros is super hard.

I didn't watch X- Men 3- sorry. I didn't watch most of The Punisher either. Paparrazzi was better- same basic story line- sans Super Hero title.

In the comics, superheroes do kill. Some of them will even try to not kill, but every one of the "golden age" heros so far has killed (indirectly or directly). Even spiderman, that why I went :wtf:

I've caught ever episode! I am hooked!
It's campy and corny, and I think a lot of scenes are staged, but it's still funny as hell. It's nice to see a reality show that doesn't revolve around the participants' infighting and backstabbing. Plus, you have grown men and women dressing up in spandex, and the whole thing is hosted by the comic book king himself, Stan Lee! What's not to like?? :lol:
However, Stan does seem to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. But hey, the guy's spent the last 50 years completely submerged in the comic book world. That's bound to loosen one's grip on reality. Still, I think he's cool.
I too want Fat Momma to win. Annoying as they are at times, I do like Major Victory and Feedback. However, they are pretty standard, generic, cookie-cutter superheroes. I think Fat Momma would be a nice change of pace. For the reason I'm really sorry they eliminated Creature. She was a breath of fresh air!

Major Victory cracks me up. Methinks he's seen "The Incredibles" a few to many times, but still...
"WHO DOES THIS CHILD BELONG TO!!!" :roll:
