Hey Robh,
Superman. Just exactly how does he fly?
The Hulk. How does he miraculously increase his mass when angry?
Spiderman. What is the mechanism by which he throws spider webs? Most spiders actually drift webs in the breeze.
The Matrix and sequels. The increasing use of "wire fu" to make our heroes perform ridiculous feats.

How are these feats achieved? Movie Magic, of-course.

I find myself watching these shows to see how realistic the feats can appear. More of a scientific curiosity than escapism.

The shows amaze me at times but I do become quite disgusted when they over step the boundaries too much. Insulting the intelligence of the viewers.

When I was a boy, yes, it had that wow factor. I think that is the kind of audience that those shows targeted.

Over all I'm with you Robh. I don't watch those "heroes" just for the entertainment. Too far fetched for my liking.

Cheers Marty
