I was curious, why so serious about Superheroes? I realise that DC's become "Bat-Man and super friend slackers" (turning up once a year?) convention, and Marvel's becoming "Pointless useless superfluous Spider-Man vehicle of the month" (I'm not sure Aunt May's not going to notice that multi coloured VTOL in the back yard...), but I see, in addition to this, a large amount of people complaining about how the sets are mini-fig driven. From a Marvel fan view point at least, there's something people seem to forget about the sets, particularly in the case of Marvel, that the very basis of the sets are reversed, that it's not the vehicles but the figures, the super powered characters themselves, who are the main star, while anything else is there to paint the picture, AKA to be thrown around by an angry super villain. That's, IMHO, what will make Superheroes succeed, you've got an unlimited pool of stuff to make, sure you need the necessity's (Such as the Quinjet, Blackbird etc), but apart from that, you can make anything within reason, as long as it fits in with established Marvel/DC law, thus reducing repeatability. I'm just grateful we've got any superhero sets in the first place. Anyway to stay on topic, is there anything I'm missing? Anything from a non subjective view point I've missed? I'd love to hear some views.
