Superheroes: Seattle Vigilantes

The streets of Seattle acquires a new League of Justice in addition to police presence. Criminals now have to think thrice (instead of double) before they dice. If you don't believe deja vu happens, then here's a reason why you must consider. 


Last year, an action-comedy film called Kick Ass enjoyed attention on the silver screen. The movie began with a glorified scene of a man standing upright, superman-like, on top of a high-rise building. Then in just a while, he leans forward gently - with arms in flying position - to attempt the impossible. You know what happens next. 'Houston, we have landed!' seems an adequate hint to say the least. Superheroes like Superman, Batman, Spiderman possess unique supernatural powers to defeat villains. The ordinary teenager in the film, Dave Lizewski, role played by Aaron Johnson, wishes to defy the odds, and plays the game of a superhero in 'real-life.' His first encounter with two brazen thugs nearly sent him to his grave. Though without success in his first attempts, he later meets and teams up with two other superheroes; not to get back at the thugs, but defeat a far more formidable enemy - the antagonist in the film. This is a cliche of a drama that unfolds only in the fictitious world of superheroes.

In Seattle, however, it is as if Batman, and two unknown black and red ninjas, fell off the screen of a TV to find themselves wandering the wrong streets for action. Phoenix , Buster Doe, and Red Dragon are only a few members of an organized vigilante group called Rain City Superheroes. And their purpose for mimicking what seems Hollywood-you-wish fantasies aligns accurately with well - Marvel superhero characters. One can only imagine the impact movies bring us. And the extent to which this might actually extend itself. Weirdos, fools, and a horde of imbeciles may soon be found at your local district. So just you know, this might actually hit the tipping point and become a norm and defining moment of our time.


Call them however necessary to contain their delusions of grandeur into your harsh judgments. But as for this current minority, some semblance of authenticity seem fragrant in their actions. The clash between a cacophony of disputes with matters such as this is like any controversy that remains with no definite right or wrong answers. It only brings us closer to familiar stories (like deja vus) of quixotic men, who once upon a time, boldly challenged the world. Died. But died changing it.
