Fight the Intangible

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2017)

A question has been raised millions of times through Marvel series--- -a peculiarly fascinating question which the question itself turns to be the answer. I have seen this self-answering question haunts in Thor's struggling confliction towards his brother Loki, a marital quarrel that Tony Starks snared with Pepper Potts, or even in that looming cavern that Bruce Wayne dwells in. The question is extremely elementary as well as phantasmally incomprehensible----who is and not a hero?
This ancient puzzle has mazed human-beings since the very beginning of civilization, however, marvel series has bestowed that self- examination muse a fresh meaning, or to say a new bottle to hold new wine. From millennium battle between Amazon Diana and Ares the incarnation of war and chaos to Peter Benjamin Parker's vigilantism practice on Dr. Octopus, it seems that our heroes with incredibly powerful talents are eventually no more than any other human. The apparent weakness, almost each individual has severely suffered from, like thorn in their flesh, is where their power generates, the flaw in their characters, sometimes a considerably imperfection, has ironically inspired our protagonists to venture deeper into the valley of death, combating their archenemies dauntlessly. Yet sometimes after justice has been done, they too, like other common folks, facing unfounded accusations and vile slanders from the very people they saved.
Isn't it true that heroes do not exist, that no one is strong enough to redeem himself let alone the whole world. Isn't it also true that in fact every human being is capable of self-exaltation to a case of hero, to stand out, fight for what freedom and love demands.
Corinthians 12:10 That is why, for Christ sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships. In persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
