WORLD WIDE WEB

indeed!

one parallel I could draw from my other recent viewing of the animated Hanuman is that one knows the end result, one knows the consequence, one knows the ways, yet for all the sheer pleasure of watching the superheroes go through their share of predicaments one goes for it.

Almost always there is an automatic justification for the voluntary suspension of disbelief, and instead of questioning the materials and methods, one just submits oneself to the process and enjoys the ride.

When was the last time one saw a superhero going about his stuff with an aide, and I shouldn't be blamed if I were to draw a parallel from Hanuman yet again! You pardon the cry babies, you pardon the put ons, you pardon the too good to be coincidences, you forgive the tiny slivers of melodrama, when you realise it's worth every penny you spent on.

You are certain that such fare would be loaded with juicy one liners and you are almost sure at the end of it there are going to be those quasi-philosophical quotes, good on ears nevertheless.

You root for this superhero, you wish he won battling all odds, you forgive his efforts to be more human, more like you and me and then you realise why he is such material, blockbusters are made of,

and then you realise why he is a

SPIDERMAN
