| Samus Aran said: Etiquette is for petty shortminded people. I'm sorry, but please read any mythological story and you'll quickly realize that you cannot compare superheroes with Graeco-Roman mythological figures and gods. You do realize Zeus often rapes human beings right? People like to see their superheroes stumble and fail? Then explain why they almost always have a GOOD ending(again, exceptions prove the rule). Tragedies end in tragedy. Like Oidipous killing his father, marrying his mother and in the end going into exile while stabbing his eyes out. Did that happen to any of your superheroes? ;) Zeus isn't an idealist, he's just as petty as an average human being.
Furthermore, religion basically requires that there is something above the human level. You cannot compare that with comic books, they don't need such a thing. Name me one European super hero. |
Etiquette is for those who have an ounce of respect for people other than themselves. Something you clearly don't have.
We're going nowhere with all this play on semantics. You seems to think that Superheores must be perfect or something. They're not. They fail, they cross the line or a regular basis (Wonder Woman, Wolverine, DareDevil, Hak Jordan, among others). And you're running around what I say about the appeal super beings have to humans.
During my studies in Visual Arts, I had history classes about greek, roman (they both overlap at one point), Norse and asian mythologies. And yes, in my litterature classes, we studied parts of classical greek litterature.
As for European superheroes:
Jan Spier, Belgium
Jerom, Belgium
Johnny Alpha, British
de Kat, Netherlands
Diabolik, Italy
Super J, Italy
Sunny Sun, Italy
Salvator, France
Satanax, France
Superdupont, France
Sergeant Napalm, Finland
Etc...
