I agree with this guy. I appreciate the gritty realism of the Silver Surfer. I mean, look at him, he's actually DOING IT man, just like you or me or anybody. But a woman compelling men to tell the truth? That's just fiction.
He's not wrong. There's no way a real girl could be made of clay and be invincible and fly and have an invisible jet and a magic lasso and deflect bullets with her bracelets. That is a fact. But...no dude could do anything that super heroes do in comics either.
Oh come on. Anyone could wear big glasses (or an eyepatch) and pretend to be another man. Or yell "Hera, give me strength!" whenever things get ugly. Or yell at strangers in a bar, telling them that you suck blood all the time and you've got your straw right here, or use "SPOON!" as a battlecry. There's lots of things that superheroes do in comics which real girls and guys also can do. Although marrying your hot girlfriend's hot clone still is highly improbable for a real guy.
@Gabriel: Not entirely true. Anyone with enough cash could, theoretically, do what Punisher does. Probably not for nearly as long as he's been doing it, but shooting guns is a pretty mundane superpower, though I'm not sure I'm capable of walking out in public with that dorky skull on my shirt.
It would also only take about seventy years to acquire all Batman's skills and knowledge, so assuming you start early and have enough money to fund a lifetime of training that doesn't leave time for a job you can totally be Batman for six months before getting shot in the face.
While this fellow is definitely a crazy jerk, should not this also get a "it's true" label as well? Technically what he said is true: A 'real' girl could not do anything Wonder Woman does.
Okay there's Wonder Man, I get that.. but there's a Wonder WOMAN now, too? What's next? Superman Girl? Spider-Woman Man? THOR GIRL? LIGHT WOLVERINE?
ReplyDeleteTypo in the title. "Woner"
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's safe to assume this man does not have a girldriend
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone has a girldriend.
ReplyDeleteActually, you could have a girldriend:

then maybe it's time for somebody to try having one. there's a first time for everything.

ReplyDelete"There's no way a girl could punch a monster. Only big, burly, sexy men could do that. Mmm ..."
ReplyDelete"Superman is cool and everything but c'mon. A REAL man couldn't do ANYTHING like he does."

File this under "no shit."
ReplyDeleteAquaman is cool and everything but c'mon. A REAL man couldn't do ANYTHING like he does.
ReplyDeleteUgh...
ReplyDeleteThis guy makes me ashamed for having a penis. What a magnificent specimen of our gender...

This is only because Wonder Woman never kicks a man in the balls.
ReplyDelete@Sorceror
ReplyDeleteActually, watch the 2009 animated Wonder Woman movie.
@Salamander: "SPOON!" is my battlecry.
ReplyDeleteThank God I have the comment section, where the people this comic makes fun of try to add to the joke by explaining it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure this guy is an authority of what a real girl can and can't do.

I don't think I'd consider the Punisher a super hero. He's more of a serial killer.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I can do what Etta Candy would do.
ReplyDeleteIt would also only take about seventy years to acquire all Batman's skills and knowledge, so assuming you start early and have enough money to fund a lifetime of training that doesn't leave time for a job you can totally be Batman for six months before getting shot in the face.
ReplyDelete@Gabriel:
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why he wouldn't be doing it very long.

ReplyDeletethat guy is so wrong!
ReplyDeletereal women can absolutely be uninteresting, vain, stupid and overrated, JUST LIKE WONDER WOMAN.
To be fair, he's kinda right. However, a GUY couldn't do anything like Wonder Woman either.
