In a little less than one hour, I will be viewing Spiderman 2. All I can tell you about the movie is that it has Spiderman in it. The one thing I have to say that I would like to see more of from these comic book-to-movie adaptations is the consistency of spandex uniforms. Nobody wears them anymore! It's saddening. I don't get to admire the physique of my favorite heroes and villains! Spiderman's costume is pretty tight around his body, though, but everyone else is always wearing these long flowy coats or capes or whatever. Come on now. Hey, did you ever notice that all the male X-Men had their six packs like disgustingly distinct through their shirts? I always thought it was part of their uniform, kind of like how the Power Rangers have the helmets with the mouths that don't move when they talk. Or how Batman has his nipples showing through the rubber when clearly nipples don't penetrate rubber that easily. He can't be that cold! This is, of course, the movie adaptation of Batman, not the comic book. And how do his eyes always glow in the comic/cartoon? I want glowing eyes. Then I could see in the dark and never bang my shin on the edge of a low table ever again.

If I had to choose a superpower, though, it'd either be telekinesis or invisible flying. When you think about it, telekinesis would come in handy so much. You'd never have to get up ever again. Well, that's a hyperbole, but still. Is it strange that I use a literary term rather than just the normal "exaggeration?" Does it work in the same context? You wouldn't need muscles if you had telekinesis. Of course, I'd like my powers to be developed. But then again, there's invisible flying. You can't fly when you're visible, cuz then people would start talking about you flying and you'd never get left alone. But if I could fly invisibly, I wouldn't have to worry about driving and transportation. It'd be a great life.
