dear professor song,
my name is penelope heo, also known as a superhero enthusiast.
so, let me present you the reasons why captain america is my favorite superhero. (mister chris evans plays him! that should be enough reason by itself.)
1) captain america has the country’s name attached to his title. talk about goals, the man will always be our king. imagine having that level of power! i know, unimaginable!
2) he represents perfection itself! the man is the pinnacle of superhuman condition. he has Intelligence (very underrated trait of his), everything required to be a True Athlete, but most importantly! he has a wonderful personality.
*okay, he may be a Bit Old. but all that knowledge had to come from somewhere! a seed doesn’t grow into a flower in a day.
3) he is just a Fighter physically and mentally.
3.a) captain america is notorious for having mastered all the martial arts and has engaged an arduous regimen that consists of aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics! you name it, he has done it! he is embodying the word commitment and dedication right here!
3.b) his life story is just a Tragedy. shakespeare would have loved it because he wouldn’t have able to write it! that impactful it is! a young looking-spaghetti man became america’s whole army with the super soldier serum. now, lets consider how scary that is. a true gamble. but, here captain america was accepting his destiny because he loves his people! he loves the idea of peace and always fighting for the greater good! name me a more selfless hero!
4) because he loves people so much, he has done so many things like joining the avengers, the redeemers, and partner with the ever so great winter soldier. all his act of bravery have steamed from a place of genuinity. he risks his life everyday because he wishes safety for everyone. UGH, we love this heroic man!
5) captain america was with one of the most badass woman on history! peggy carter was such a gorgeous woman in terms of Beauty and Power. attractive people gravitate towards each other. let me just say the Power Couple of the Century.
so, as to why muggles like this superhero jazz so much. i personally think its because superheroes are a symbol of hope.
there is always the same history of good vs evil and how good always wins. superheroes usually start like any other common folk but boom! they suddenly get powers. we grow attached because there’s always that small spark waiting to happen. maybe i can be the hero i always dreamt to be! they show very humanistic characteristics that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. then, we see them do all these heroic acts based on emotions we love experiencing. from that warmth, there’s pride! i think that’s what makes superheroes so appealing. it makes us see an image we want to become and i think that’s really cool.
be your own superhero, people!
p.s.a: marvel is so much better than dc because a) it has mister captain america duh. b) have you seen the cinematic masterpiece they have going on? the universe has never looked more complex. c) their movies are great! look at that beautiful cg. d) have you seen the beauty the actors are? they got the holy trinity of chris’. let me say! it feeds a poor deprived girl like me who is surrounded by ugly men.
in conclusion, i love captain america.
