Reasons I love Blue Beetle & Booster Gold
Feb. 3rd, 2006 08:33 pmBecause they're just regular guys with a few cool toys
they break as easy as anyone
but they still go out there and put their neck on the line.
They screwed up once, but they decided to do better.
They've been dead, in comas, crippled, chopped into parts, and it *doesn't stop them*.
They aren't like the Bats, ruled by angst.
They're just a couple of guys who go out there and save the world a lot, together.

They weren't born to this. No great power, no invulnerability, no being chosen by the gods. They *chose*. And every single time they could choose otherwise, get out and stay out, be regular guys instead - they choose to be heroes. Even if it's going to cost them everything. Again. They know the stakes, and they choose.
Superman, Wonder Woman, all those born to power types, always much less interesting to me. Most of us will never have their kind of choices. But can we choose to wear blue and fight crime, with a partner, as part of a team? Oh yes. So Blue & Gold forever, say I.
