"Looks like we need a Hero now! Don't Ya think?"
quote from the original Rayman
quote from the original Rayman
We all enjoy pedal stalling people. By putting them in a golden throne they become untouchable and something to aspire to.
I'm an old school gamer. We had a PS2, it was great but it was my brothers so when my parents decided to reclaim the TV. I was no longer able to use it as it was no longer in the fount room. After that I never really picked up a console again.
Being reunited with the PS2, I began to question the concept of the hero and its influence on society.
We all believe that a Hero will save us from the injustice of the world. Some Batman/Superman/ Spiderman figure will fight crime and cure us from the cruelties that fill us with fear.
How can one person help us?
and how can we expect them to?
Why do we never turn as members of ordinary society and rise up together to change what it has be come? We all turn away hoping that some one else will fix it.and how can we expect them to?
What has happened to the idea of the community that looks out for one another?
The Hero figure is the one man that shouts out for what is right. Is not afraid to say: "Oi! excuse me! Stop right there!"
Imagine what would happen to the world if everyone was willing to do just that?
But then is it really possible blame the invention of Spiderman with the lack of community that we feel now? I mean wasn't the hero invented to make us feel as we could all be one. We could all be the Peter Parker that really does make a difference?
