Who Wants to be a Superhero?
If you haven't caught it yet, I highly recommend that you tune in and watch an episode of "Stan Lee's Who wants to be a Superhero" It is so bad, it is a must see. It is so obviously scripted, and so incredibly cheesy, if you were ever a comic fan check it out. Last nights episode had me laughing my ass off because it was so ridiculous. Their challenge was to go and do various things while talking to supposed hardened murderous criminals. (Both were actors that I have seen in commercials and bit parts before) The four wanna be superheroes had to decide who would do the following things; Rub a convicts shoulder 3 times, Hug a convict 3 times, sit on a convicts lap and something else 3 times. The actor/convicts played that they were hard sociopaths and threatened them when they tried to touch them, but of course allowed them. The best was when Feedback got the actor/convict to tell him that his father was killed, Feedback said that his father committed suicide (probably after seeing his adult son dress up like a superhero) he then managed to start crying and give the massive actor/convict 3 very awkward looking hugs. The best was yet to come, as during the elimination all of the wanna be superheros cried when Stan said that he was proud of them. The best though was Feedback again, he started bawling and told Stan that he considered him to be the father that raised him when his real father died. Well actually he said Stan and Spiderman got him thru that.
One of the other funny things that happened on one of the previous episodes was when Stan asked them all to nominate someone to be eliminated. All but two of the superheros nominated themselves, and what made it funny was the fact that you could tell that the ones that nominated themselves really just wanted to leave. They all had that "Please get me out of here" look on their faces.
Part of the reward for being the winning superhero is that they will get their own comic book and Sci Fi channel special. Should be another train wreck.
