Reflections and ruminations from a modern day Alice - Life is Wonderland |
30-Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT November 13th "If you do what you really want to do, you feel like you're playing." - Stan Lee (1922-2018). Stan Lee passed away yesterday, Monday November 12th. What is your opinion of superhero movies? Were Stan's stories a part of your life? Okay, admittedly I had to google Stan Lee. I am not a huge superhero fan but I still felt oddly ashamed that the name did not ring any bells given how prolific the Marvel universe is in the entertainment world. Clearly the man was a giant and I should really get out from under that rock once and a while! Stan Lee and his movies have not had any impact on my life, I have enjoyed some of them. I really liked the Avengers. I found it refreshing and entertaining. It was a great escape, which is something I value highly in my movies. Lastly, there is this...I know there is this vast world of difference between Marvel and DC, but as a child I was virtually obsessed with Wonder Woman. Linda Carter was my amazonian goddess hero and I had the under-roos to prove it! I would race about the house in those themed underclothes, with my cape and my arm bands, fighting evil before taking off in my invisible jet. From the age of 6-9, Wonder Woman was my jam. Seriously. |
