Super Heroes I Just Don't 'Get'
With all the super hero movies coming out, I've decided to make a list of super heroes I just don't "get". Whether it be I find them overrated, don't understand their popularity or whatever. Some of these their heyday's have passed but still. Keep in mind I'm a HUGE comic fan so most of these guys I know at least something about them, and I don't mind them overall. It's more about the ones the fanboys have decided to latch onto. This isn't a thread to debate over characters, or bash someone if you disagree. Most of mine will be comics, but you can do movies, books, cartoons, anything! I just want to see what other people think. This is in no particular order.
Batman - Yes I know. I'll catch some heat from this one. For someone who is supposed to be "human", he's almost god like in his abilities. Super Genius, unlimited wealth, top class fighter, etc. To the fanboys, Batman IS God.
Deadpool - I'm so sick of hearing about Deadpool. He's aware he's a comic character, he cracks jokes, whoopie doo!
Cable - Really, what does he do? OK he has telekinesis, and telepathy. He's from the future and carries a gun. His eye lights up. OOOOOOOO!!!!
Gambit - He charges objects to make them explode and carries a staff. He can control emotions. He's a pretty decent fighter.
Wolverine - I don't mind the character himself. But why is he so popular? And I love Hugh Jackman as him, but I'm tired of the Xmen movies being "Wolverine and his amazing friends".
Iron Man - See Batman
Heimdall (from the Thor movies) - When the first Thor movie came everyone talked about how awesome he was. I admit he looks cool. But he kind sucks if you think about it. Loki sneaks into Asgard past him, he gets frozen in the first movie and their traveling device is destroyed. To top it off, in part 2, Curse gets by him, the dark elf ships sneak by him until it's almost too late. He manages to take out ONE, but he STILL doesn't get the force field up in time and Asgard is nearly destroyed.
ANY Dragon Ball Z character - All they do is yell and scream
Venom - Really? He's an alien monster.
Lobo - Although to be fair, I think he's supposed to be a parody of overrated superheroes himself, so I can respect that!
Spider-Man I get this character, his personality, problems, powers I really do. But how in the world does being bit a SPIDER grant you near invulnerability? Seriously in the movies he's getting thrown through walls and gets right back up. But he's been made out to be on par with the likes of Hulk!
Legolas - Started out really cool, and got more ridiculous as the movies have gone on.
Ok that's my list for now!
