All heroes will be required to have one (or more) of the following:
- Angst ridden backstory
- An idiotic hairstyle
- A weapon that weighs more than they do
- Serious mommy/daddy issues
- A useless companion who has only one goal: be captured by the enemy
Which is better first three star wars movies or the prequels. Oh, right, there was never any argument there. =D
Star Trek is better than Star wars for four reasons:
1) No Ewoks in Star Trek
2) Redshirts are harder to kill than Stormtroopers
3) Nobody kisses their sister on the Enterprise.
4) Captain Kirk would kill Jar Jar Binks.
It wasn't his fault...go look at his blog, where he painfully tries to therapize himself through his Crusher years.
Can you blame him?
After Will Wheaton suffered through portraying the blatent "Mary Sue", then he has to deal with the Fan Outrage (... and it doesn't help that he agrees with most of the fans on this issue.)

No, I don't blame him. Actually, I've enjoyed reading his blog from time-to-time: he seems like a swell guy. But those podcasts over on Wotci's website, which draw you in with their Penny Arcade comic shorts, are of the devil and made me want to stab ice picks in my ears.
I would like to see number for her competitors, Shania Twain for example. Or Britanny Spears. Or Cher. Or ...
I think my point was more that the amount of money something makes isn't necessarily an indicator of how good it is. For example, I think Firefly is far superior to both Star Trek and Star Wars, yet it will never bring in the kinds of numbers that either of these two franchises have.
And by the way, if Shania Twain's, Brittany Spears', or Cher's concerts gross more money than Madonna's, then that only serves to strengthen my point. :)
If there are any dead horses or slaughtered sacred cows lying about, I'll buy them. My franchise is ramping up for our Holy Trinity Combo Meal™ promotion*
*That's a Big Daddy Burger™, Junior Fries™ and Spook Shake™ all for just 5.99!
I just heard on the news that a town in Florida is going to pass a law requiring all city employees to use deodorant and wear underwear. And they have to wear the underwear under their clothing! What happened to freedom and individual choice? I'm outraged! ;)

Years ago, I worked with a woman who didn't bathe or wear deodorant. She was so funky, on one particular day, that everyone in the department was literally gagging. The manager had to send her home with instructions to shower and put-on deodorant before coming to work.

I'm so glad I don't work there anymore!
I had a guy in my fraternity who didn't believe in using deodorant. I never could understand that.
