Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (2006)
Typical reality show over-dramatization, but strikes a chord
Having seen only the premier, the missus and I watched this for a laugh. And laugh we did, the first 30 minutes were hilarious. Then after a while, it takes a turn toward your typical annoying reality show format: post-interviews, dramatic music, and pretentious, pompous elimination ceremonies. Don't forget the ridiculous 'reaction closeups' Yawn. who CARES. Thank goodness I have a DVR and a fast forward button.
Just show me Stan Lee having the time of his life, and those doofuses changing into & running around in public in those silly costumes. That is what we want. Come on, admit it. Isn't everyone getting just a LITTLE tired of these so-called 'reality' show's oh-so predictable format? Don't try tp make this one into something serious, it defeats the point.
I will say that Big Momma displays the most guts and heart out of all. She and the unabashed flamboyant style of Major Victory are the two to bet on so far. They *seem* to be just good people to the core. They are worth watching too just for sheer entertainment value. The rest, eh who cares. Iron Enforcer has about as much personality as well...a piece of, you-know-what, and should have been eliminated in the premier. His only staying power is that he LOOKS like a superhero, so far he's been acting like anything but. I can't say for sure if I'll stay with the series, but the premier was a diverting novelty for an evening.
