[Demi-fiend]

I was at my dads company Christmas party along with my mom etc. when he got drunk and screamed out **** YOU!!! to his boss and the whole room went silent..... :ermm:

The world needs more people like your father.

That ****in' corporate scumbag probably got what was coming to him, anyway.

Or this one, talking about how Dante as a hero isn't about the costume, or being overly flashy, it's a grounded take on the character, sorta like how Chronicle (pictured there on the right) is the grounded take on a psychic, and also how a young man takes on challenges in his life.

And Chronicle was an awesome movie, bee-tee-dubs. People should definitely see it. Heck, if they had mentioned Boy Wonder, it would have been a perfect comparison to the Batman hero archetype

Speaking of Chronicle, I've watched the film last night, it was amazing. An interesting plot, lots of drama and action. And it really makes you think 'What will you do if you have superpowers'? I want to see a sequel where Matt goes for a hero's journey.

Sometimes, I feel sorry for Andrew. I just remember that someone calls him a 'sore loser kid' on comparing him to DmC Dante, but that 'sore loser kid' is where he gains superpowers but being humiliated and bullied (he pulls of a bully's wisdom tooth), being berated by his abusive father (who beats him into a bloody pulp), he tries to steal money because of
his dying mother, and this young man feels himself as weak back then and turns himself into a monster, calling himself an apex predator. The only character who acts as a hero is Matt.

Nice comparison. Sometimes, superheroes don't need to wear fancy costumes or being silly. They can wear simple clothing yet wanted to make a difference. As Combichrist's Andy LaPlegua pointed out, the original DMC games are more like the 'puppy colors' while DmC was dark and gritty. But the difference between DmC Dante and Andrew is that the former used his powers to fight Mundus while Andrew lost in his hatred and went on hurting other people.

I do too. Possibly something about Matt searching for why things ended up the way they did, helping people, and maybe Andrew's consciousness not being completely gone, so there's a pervasive antagonist somewhere or something.

Yeah, I didn't quite understand when it was said that they're "likening Dante to some loser kid." I can only imagine they called him that because they didn't know what Andrew came from, and how he was in his story.

I understand NT's comparison with that, too, since it's about a person who has a lot of power and potential, and sort of squanders it, or at least doesn't readily use it for good. Heck, the Wanted comics were great at that too, taking Spider-Man's "with greater power comes great responsibility" and turning it on its ear to "with great power comes doing whatever you want!"

Yeah. I would say if you have a chance, check out Boy Wonder on Netflix. It's not as cool as Chronicle or anything, it's a thriller, really, but it's literally the realistic take on a young man who is driven to vigilante crime fighting after a family tragedy. It gives a lot more credence to the people in superhero movies who call people like Batman crazy weirdos and stuff.[/quote]

Speaking of Wanted, I've watched some bits of the film version, but I found out that it based from a comic written by Mark Millar. Man, I love the guy, along with Ed Brubaker; the best comic book writers of this generation (since both of them made Captain America an awesome character again).

It seems I need to rewatch it. It seems it's very close to the comic, is it?

The movie (which I still think is awesome) takes a rather different turn on things than the comics did. The movie sort of does away with all of the superhero/supervillain stuff for "divine fate" and superhuman assassins.
