I know the photoshopped but I don’t get this one. It’s not a creative play on their request for superman, Aquaman, and the flash
Yeah, I thought the joke in this one was weaker than usual too.
I guess Aquaman as a firefighter makes sense, and so does a Flash as a delivery man, but Superman as a doctor isn’t as clear.
I assumed it was because doctors save lives and that’s kind of what Superman is known for even though that’s not necessarily a specific trait
It’s weird but I actually don’t consider people fulfilling normal everyday professions as heroes. It may be because I played heroes of might and magic 3 as a kid and my concept of ‘hero’ has connotations of someone being extraordinary.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, since those kids are apparently destined to be workers according to james, idolizing normal jobs is ummm ok. But it’s sort of like taking kids who specifically want to be extroardinary and telling them “no. u will be a brick in the wall.”
When I think hero i think Guru Aurobindo, Feynman, Mai Bhago, StBridgid, Barry the Dog, neem karoli baba, ben franklin, selassie, carl sagan, etc etc etc.
So haha BUT when a kid wants to be extraordinary and above the norm, the correct answer is to empower them upward to reach what heights they can; not pull them down.
I think it’s pretty common to view a doctor saving someones life as heroic or a fireman pulling someone from a fire as heroic. They are normal jobs I guess but often involve acts that people view as heroic. Seems like it conveys the message. Not sure about delivery dude. More troublesome to me is that the artist completely ignored the latter part of the instructions that specifically mentioned ‘super’ heros
This is a guy known for doing monkeys paw style photoshops for people, he’s not getting paid and people expect this kind of thing
