It seems like there are an awful lot of
movies out the last few years centered on super heroes. I am thinking of movies with characters like
Captain America, Spiderman, Superman, Thor, Ironman, Hulk and Batman just to
name a few. And there are many more of
these movies coming in the next few years.
What is with all the fascination with superheroes?
Maybe audiences are simply enthralled
with superpower.
There’s Captain America with the power
of incredible strength and speed and the ability to be frozen for decades. He
can bench press over 1000 pounds and run at 50 mph. He also heals very quickly. Spiderman has the
power of super speed and agility and strength with the ability to stick to walls
and shoot out spider cords. Thor has an
extended life span, can travel through time, control weather, and even
regenerate damaged parts of his body.
Now maybe you have no interest at all
in superhero movies. But even so, as you
look out at our world and the state it is in, wouldn’t you for just one minute
entertain the idea that it might be nice to have a certain superpower to make
things all right or at least a little better?
Maybe you have seen some injustice recently and felt so powerless to
deal with it. Wouldn't a little
superpower here or there have done some real good?
