Actually, yes. Not spectacularly original, but very thematically interesting and it does make me want to keep reading. It's a dystopian society thing where everybody is a drone and there is no individuality, and you don't belong to yourself; you have to do anything anyone asks of you. Which, you can guess, is bad. And there're this group of people who discovered a bunch of old comic books and were introduced to the concept of personal identity and fighting for justice and whatnot.

My hook was that, if this is such a strict drone society, why is there this small rebellion in the first place? Was there something inside these new superheroes that was sparked by the comics? It's got a common theme with "Dollhouse," IMO - is it truly possible to suppress individuality? I'm anxious to see what happens, and yes, it's worth reading.

	Ah, I'm glad! I was going to buy'em the other day, but then I thought "what if they are bad? I will have to be embarrassed when I watch AT4W! That will be sad!" so I didn't. But now I can! Hurrah! Much obliged. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That Captain America movie was a staple of my youth. I saw it on TV several times growing up. I had no idea Nostalgia Critic had reviewed it... Guess I have something to watch during dinner! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not to nitpick, but - 'quit from superheroing'? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nagaoka 2009-08-27 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno. It sounds right to me. Maybe it's not grammatically correct but for informal speech I think it's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-08-28 01:57 am UTC (link)
	I would have said 'quit being a superhero', or 'quit superheroing' without the 'from'. Still, it's not like any version of it would hold up in an English class. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You couldn't put in the Steel review? I mean, it's a Shaq movie! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	colonel_green 2009-08-27 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	My favourite bit in his review of that was Chester A. Bum's cameo ("Ah, man, they're filmin' a Shaq movie. I'm outta here."). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Actually I'll add it next time, it won't let me do more than two videos for some reason. XP (Reply to this) (Parent)
