superheroes
its a bird, its a plane.
no, its superman.
there seems to be an obsession with superheroes these days, eh? think batman, smallville, spiderman, daredevil, elektra, spongebob =D .. and so on. so what's with these people that are so appealing?
honestly batman ain't a superhero, he's just a, err, hero. cause techinically speaking he doesn't have superpowers does he? then again, does daredevil or elektra? (spongebob is a sponge. i call that pretty super.) so, really, you don't need powers, you need some decent fighting moves, a relatively hot body (spongebob is an exception, he's a sponge.), and a tight leather suit to go -- and you're all set. me, ninja cheryl, on the other hand, lacks all of these; but i'm a superhero all the same. just cause i say i am.
SAVEE ME.
the modern cry of help.
only now we don't call for tarzan, we call for spidey. if you think about it, they both swing around. only spidey has a full-body costume, and tarzan, well, the lack of it. and what do we need saving from? work, school, stress, evil-monsters-who-want-to-wreck-our-towns? nah, giant monsters are so last century. goodbye godzilla and kingkong. hello tiny computer bugs and biochemical viruses (and plankton). unarmed combat is in, big machines morphing is out. no one digs power rangers now, seriously. (sorry i think i just offended the canoeists, haha.) we don't want lasers and huge machines, we have enough of those. let's go back to the days when we only had ourselves as weapons. honestly, the irony.
if you ask me,
i'd say the powerpuff girls are the best superheroes around. hey, slightly biased view here i admit, but i stick by it. cause they never shed any blood. and their worst enemy is a monkey. how bad can that get. they're colour-coordinated, they look cute 24-7, they find time to go to kindergarten, and the reason for their existence is explained simply by Chemical X. (wonder how those people pulled this one off.)
once again, the day is saved thanks to
the powerpuff girls. =D
corrinne may got it right.
i feel like a little girl/trying to conquer the whole wide world/everybody wants a piece of me/and i just don't know where to turn/i've got work piled up to my head/all i wanna do is jump into bed/and wash away my troubles with lemonade/play hide and seek with the boy next door/take a trip to Singapore and/imagine how i'll make the world a better place//if i were a little girl/trying to clean up the whole wide world/i'd kick the bad boys back to school/teach them fighting's just not cool/i'd give every kid a teddy bear/turn starving people into millionaires/break glass ceilings with dynamite/sprinkle a little sugar and spice/turn the bullets that terrorise/into pink poodles that bark but don't bite//little superhero girl, save me.
now,
i just want my
superhero.
