Message-ID: <2470@dartvax.UUCP> Date: Thu, 11-Oct-84 15:37:50 EDT Article-I.D.: dartvax.2470 Posted: Thu Oct 11 15:37:50 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 13-Oct-84 03:14:51 EDT Organization: Dartmouth College Lines: 24 jeff - i agree with you about senseless quota killing... but the point that you didn't address in my article is that of the impracticality of super-hero/normal relationships... the nature of a hero (look at the greeks) is that he/she has to make sacrifices above and beyond the call of normal mortals... the risk and responsability, as it were... now a hero in a relationship with a normal can be one of two things: a good person to be in a relationship, or a good hero..... being in a relationship entails certain responsabilities to the other person in the relationship, and one of those responsabilities is staying alive (not taking needless risks). My point is you can't fill both shoes like a god... that's why i liked miller's handling of heather... Murdock makes a great hero, but an abyssmal husband.... also, you have to admit that both houses have abused the villan-captures- spouse routine, and the if-you-really-loved-me routine... truce....
