Hancock
KvP:
I don't think it's the flawed superhero thing that's supposed to be new. It's the fact that the populace actively resents and hates the guy. There are elements of that in Batman and Spiderman, maybe, but they're usually appreciated by somebody.

I don't think it's the flawed superhero thing either. I think it's the fact that he thinks he can do whatever he wants with his powers, that he can abuse them however he wants and doesn't care.

--- Quote from: A Man of Steel With Feet of Clay - New York Times ---"Hancock" is probably two steps past safe. This time Mr. Smith, who shares a penchant for pushing the envelope (think of “Ali,” undertaken when he was still an action-comedy star), plays a superhero who swills bourbon, hates his job...

But I suppose it is kind of different. I don't know.

Then for every term which has multiple meanings in different fields (I doubt 'reflexivity' means the same thing in generic theory as it does in linguistics, for example), do the same. Provide one or two examples where needed. Then divide it up into paragraphs. Do that and not only will you start making sense, but you'll have provided a good introductory post for a much more in-depth discussion of the genera which, more likely than not, will be buried in a few days if it ever gets off the ground. In any case, you'll probably have gotten more out of the class.

I did that on purpose guys. By leaving it in one paragraph and basically going through a list of generic terms I was creating something that you weren't even supposed to read. Just skim over and say "big words, lol." I understand the concepts more than I've said, but taking an hour and a half to expand that out to 7 or 8 paragraphs was not my goal.
a pack of wolves:

Dai Nipponjin did this really well, the protagonist of that was despised by the populace. I'm not sure if it got a general release anywhere outside Japan but he makes a very convincing washed-up superhero, the last of his dynasty/franchise. With Hancock I keep trying to not be disappointed when I see it mentioned and find out the discussion isn't about Tony Hancock. As a film I think it looks pretty dull and uninspired but will probably have a few alright gags in it and some pretty effects.
