Fan-Casting... A Live Action Spider-Man TV Show
I know a lot of fans have probably campaigned for this over the years, but they’re right to do so! The last time we got seasons of Peter Parker and his alter ego in real life on TV was back in the Seventies. Back then, they also didn’t really have the technology to pull off the real Spider-Man villains everyone knows. Since then, we have had to put up with two hour films every three or so years, or animated TV shows that everyone forgets about because the only one worth watching was the one in the early nineties.

Why Oliver Queen Should Out Himself As Green Arrow in Season Six Finale
For those who have been watching Season Six of the show, or the show since day one to be honest, you know that Oliver Queen has sometimes struggled with keeping his identity as a vigilante a secret. Seasons One and Three have seen Oliver have to cover up his identity as Star City’s (or Starling City’s) hero, one of those incidents causing Roy Harper, Oliver’s trusted sidekick, to take the wrap at one point and fake his death.

Satire Is Wack
My dad often uses a tremendous amount of horatian toward my sister, criticizing her in a joking way that often offends her. She doesn’t understand that he means well by the joking, just trying to make the people around him laugh rather than make her angry; however it never ends up like this.

A satirical author’s message can be misconceived and lost because of misconceptions brought by satire.
