You're not alone in your rant. There are many times I have become frustrated seeing my favorite farm boy in Smallville having to say goodbye to a girl he loved. I think it's one of those things that goes with being a Superhero, though, because in the end (at least in my way of seeing it) they seem to look at the world at large thinking of how they are the ones who have to save it and sacrifice their own happiness to achieve it - Smallville is a great example of this I think, but I've seen it in Buffy as well. I watched Buffy make a lot of personal sacrifices to save the world and in the end, Spike died to save Buffy and the world so he sacrificed his future with Buffy to save them all. It kinda made him a hero too - at least to me...
I wish though that superheroes in general could have loves and be the hero at the same time. I wish they had happier endings for themselves as well and I wish that Spike could have stayed alive and been with Buffy in the very end of the series - okay end of my mini rant!
Again this is my opinion only...
ok I need to do a mini rant and I figure there is no where like home to rant in. I don't know who else watches smallville. but I have discovered a rather distrubing trend in the superhero realm. THEY CAN'T BE HAPPY. THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LOVE AND DUTY. hello who came up with this. I mean I don't know if its because comic books authors many of them I don't know what but maybe this idea made them feel better but it drives me batty. completly batty. hello doesn't anyone think they should have a life someone to confort them. love them. stand by them. ok the whole lone brooder thing works for batman and even angel...but spiedy and supes are just not dark figures so its frustrating and watching smallville makes me want to scream on so many levels. ok rant is over. please throw in your thougts as well...who knows maybe I'm just looking at it wrongly
