I understand that.
It is heroic and cool and all that, I guess.
But remember we are all different people and we all perceive things differently...just because huge amounts of people adore and love Spidey, doesn't mean that every single person will be touched by him.
I have a very good female friend who can not believe that the film Wizard Of Oz didn't do anything for me.
She is still amazed that there is someone in this world who doesn't at least appreciate that classic.
She even tells me that as an artist I should respond to the amazing visuals and the imagination involved and all that.
But what can I tell you...the film may be a classic and a Legendary Cultural touchstone, and it still leaves me cold.
As for Spider-Woman, I always connected with her sense of detachment, of not belonging...her journey of discovery, her quest to find her humanity (and in the beginning not being sure if she was even human) was fascinating to me.
And the dark tone that her villains had always thrilled me.
And the fact that she was a kickass woman who in spite of all her insecurities, still wanted to do the right thing and help others?
That was awesome...she was despondent and uncertain about her humanity, and yet she felt that she had to help others, who usually shunned her.
I loved it. She is my girl. She is my superhero.
Now lets hope Randy sculpts a FS worthy of SW#1.
