I don't even know the name of it, but I went / was forced to go to one of the superhero movies. A bunch of them get together to fight crime. This had Superman, the Flash, Batman (not nearly as fun as the Adam West Batman), Wonder Woman, and some other characters I didn't know.
In this one, they got together and fought the bad guys, were defeated, came back and won, and then, at the end, hinted at a possible sequel. Oh wait, that's how they all go. I went to sleep, as I always do during these movies, about a third of the way in. I woke up about two-thirds in. I woke up during the lull before the final battle. Its the part where I think, "Hey, its finally over", only to have them start up with another battle.
As I understand it, there is DC and Marvel. Apparently the bad guys choose to fight one or the other. The other group is made up of Thor, Spiderman, Captain America, etc. (For the umpteenth time let me remind you I've seen the person that plays the Black Widow - Scarlet Johansen.) Anyway, somehow the DC and Marvel guys never get together. And those in the two groups didn't get together until like ten years or so ago. These are all things I've just learned today. This is good information for the next time I sleep through one of these movies.
Speaking of superhuman strength. I think I heard somebody talk once about how weight lifting is a common activity in prison. That is our tax dollars going to buying weights for these guys. Do we really want them getting a lot stronger? This seems like a terrible idea. We actually want them to participate in activities that will cause their muscles to atrophy, don't we? How about getting them all chess sets, or TVs. Maybe we can let them all have smart phones that they can stare at all day. Everyone on the outside are wimps and when these guys get out, we're all going to be easy prey. I guess its good we've got the DC and Marvel guys.
