How Do You Feel About It?

 Sad

 Angry

 Fun



the other day i was sitting around the house moping about.
i turned on the picture box to see what it'll show me today.
batman returns. a classic. who can resist?
catwoman eyes, batman's hardcore body and alfred's lameness.
who captured me most of the character of penguin.
first of how much he looked exactly like the comic. unreal.
secondly, i asked myself why is he the villian in the movie?
for a while, everyone loved penguin, supporting him to be mayor.
flocks of women, mothers and/with their children would go up to him.
so why is he the villian? what is wrong with a new leader?
is it only because he is not attractive?

why is it only the ones that are masked the heroes?
why ones who have a secondary personality be the credited one?
is hiding your real identity the point of the story?
in most superhero stories, the villian is very certain about their identity. there is no doubt. there is no hiding.
they scream out their name in pride,
they create a dramatic entrance,
and show their courage against their opponent.
while the hero is easily disgressed into a romantic relationship.
hiding in their costume and mask, worried about what people think of them once they know their true identity.

so is that the message for the viewers/readers?
the antagonist
is one who is truthful to who they are no matter what.
always striving to accomplish their goal.

at a young age, we are given this borderline
between villan and heroism.
but should these criteria really be applied into real life?
or could it be?
arent we just a bit hypocritical?


that is why we are such fuck ups.

thanks for the insight!! appreciate it!!

but, weakness is only a weakness if you say it is. my question is. superheroes are usually a human with a super power right?
so if being human is a weakness, does that mean they are the underdog?
whereas the villian fully plays their identity and never shows their weakness (human side).

there should be no shame as in what you truly are. protecting the one you love and care for is important. but it should not be a hidden side. if the one you love truly loves you, then they wouldnt mind if you can shoot fire out of your eyes or if you could fly. - to love both negative and positives right? why hide what you truly are?

this is more of a rant about,
media and their twitsted version of
"being yourself"

Have you seen it the other way?
The penguin was not loved by everyone. The loved one was his character, his charade of becoming a leader whose promises were never to be delivered.
Be it vengeance or whatever, deceiving others for personal benefits is what the antagonist is set at in this movie.
The hero is the one who is not able to show his true self, because if the antagonist were to find out the weakness of the only person who is willing to stand up against him, it would be the end of the hero.
You might've seen in Batman Begins, when he is told "You think you have nothing to lose. Everyone has something to lose".
The antagonist is going to take whatever means possible to take down those who stand in his way. They are the ones who truly mask their wrong intentions.
It is not about being seen as a hero when he hides his other personality. It's about protecting what you love when you have to stand up against someone to whom no one else will.
