Re: Superheroes
Me, too. I wanted my heroes to have at least some shred of possibility. I liked all the cowboys, Sgt. Preston (and King), Charlie Chan, the radio detectives.
I found the Green Hornet, Batman, Superman, Tarzan, etc., to require too much effort to believe. If they had all those powers, why did they allow such disastrous situations to unfold?
This was a parallel process to my disenchantment with organized religion with it's identical requirement that one give at least lip service to that which is unbelievable.
