The cats are glad to see you Green Goblin!
Christmas has come and gone. If you were to look at Niko’s presents you would probably scratch your head a bit. There were the typical 3-year-old boy presents you would expect like Spiderman, Batman, Pokemon Toy Story and Thor.
This year, Santa has learned that if you have superheroes, you must have bad guys. Believe me, you NEED bad guys. We have learned this the hard way – if you don’t have a bad guy for your superhero to fight, he turns his energy on the cats and/or furniture. You see, Spiderman need a wrong to set right.
So this year, Santa brought the Green Goblin, Evil Emperor Zurg, Lotso, Doctor Octopus, the Joker, the Penguin and Catwoman. I honestly never thought I needed so many villains in my house, but I was wrong. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen Spiderman looking around my living room looking for something to do. He’s looking for someone to rescue…. Looking for a bad guy to battle.
Spiderman now has a villain to fight instead of terrorizing the cats; he can fight the Green Goblin or the Joker. The DC/Marvel lines don’t exist in our house. Bad guys are bad guys – they don’t respect trademarking laws.
This actually opens up a much larger philosophical question… are superheroes still super if there are no bad guys to battle?
What is Spiderman’s purpose without evil to fight? Oh the humanity……
My tilted question: What are villians' day jobs? Batman's day job is a benevolent benefactor of good service to the community. What is Joker's? or Penguin's? Riddler may write for the local paper? Catwoman could be a Vet? One ponders. Whatever the possibilities, you and your home are safe now that Nikko's super heroes can see their enemies. :) Boys are such fun. :)
