Recently, a website which shall remain nameless (mostly because I don’t have a lot of respect for ’em, and I figure if you really want to find out their name, it won’t be particularly difficult) posted a long screed opining that adults who read fiction aimed at Young Adults should be ashamed of their taste in reading.  It hit a very personal nerve for me, reminding me of my teenage years when several of my comic-reading friends suddenly became ashamed of their taste in things, and began openly mocking those of us who still read comics and watched cartoons.  The…

When it comes to the sweet science of super-heroing, there are a few old chestnuts that pretty much tell you all you need to know:  Great power, great responsibility yadda yadda.  Superstitious and cowardly lot blah blah blah fishcakes.  Bald, fat or ugly people will always turn evil, especially if they have a funny or humiliating name.  (Please remember: I don’t makes the rules, I just explains ’em.)  But the one that has been getting the most mileage in the modern storytelling oeuvre is the theory that ‘the villain is the hero of her own story.’  Indeed, protagonists such as…

As a life-long fan of professional wrestling, I love occasionally dipping into the well of squared-circle history for Major Spoilers purposes, if only to let the cynical snarkers get some meanness out of their system.  It reminds me of a discussion I had with a professional sportscaster around the turn of the century, wherein he admitted to enjoying the spectacle and athleticism of the entire affair, but when asked why he wouldn’t cover it in his segments had the perfect response: “I don’t cover movies about football, either.”  He also had a theory that a wrassler like The Rock would…
