[QUOTE="Ysgarran, post: 64204, member: 709"] OK, since this is a superman thread I need to ask some questions regarding an article I read the other day. (Sorry, I don't remember the exact source but I was sitting and waiting for my wife to get her hair done. I'll read anything in a situation like that...). They were talking about how in the WB show that arrival of Superman in Smallville was both a boon and bane. That the arrival of the spacecraft also brought meteors that brought on mutations and ruined Lex's hair, etc. etc. They went about how each generation re-writes their myth heros to fit the age (i.e. just like what has been happening to the King Arthur legend for hundreds of years). The earlier version(s) of Superman had a messiah theme since the arrival of the 50's version brought only good. They were claiming that the arrival of the newest WB version had taken on aspects of a creater/destroyer since his arrival also heralded the arrival of mutations and other forms of nastiness. There also was a passing reference to Buffy also having aspects of a creater/destroyer since her presence brings both good and bad. I don't watch that show so if anyone can explain that, it would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
