Grown Men Fight About How Annoying it Is There Are More Women In Superhero Movies Now. 

grown men fight about how annoying it is there are more women in superhero movies now. 

im not unused to fights about superheroes. at school, i watch my girl students get into the opposite fight: who gets to be wonder woman. most of the marvel films were too violent for them to see, which leaves all of three names: supergirl and ivy. ivy isn’t even a superhero. she’s a villain that people fell in love with.

Every time they play, I am reminded again how many of my heroes are just the male hero’s name, but with “She” or “girl” tacked haphazardly onto someone else’s title. Whenever the boys join the game these children - meaning no harm, just saying the truth the way it opens up for them, as preschool children do - they remind the girls that Superman is stronger than Supergirl. The man is always stronger. this is backed by what they watch. i understand why they believe it.

Kids don’t read comics. These kids can’t read yet at all. I can’t tell them about squirrel girl or captain marvel (oh, oh, but didn’t Disney wait their sweet time to see if that would pay off - and her story is now just tacked on too, cleaning up a man’s mess). They won’t read that kind of stuff until middle school, maybe, if they’re told comics are an okay thing for girls to like. And by then they’ve lived a decade of their life. Fighting for scraps. For only one wonder woman.

“another female superhero?” groans a man on the internet. i see my 7 girls all scrambling for 3 names, and the boys each comfortable in their own batman/superman/spiderman/aquaman/ironman/hawkeye/antman/captian america. i see my 7 girls all deciding: let’s play my little pony instead. we can’t be heroes. girls don’t get to be.

they save equestria in their game. i tell them they’re my superheroes. one wraps herself around my body and looks up. “i hate all the girl heroes,” she says, “they’re stupid.” i remind her we don’t use stupid as a word at school. she looks at me, deadpan. “i don’t like them,” she repeats, “i only like wonder woman.”

i try my best. “there’s storm and batgirl,” i say. 

“yeah,” she says, “but there’s no movies about them.”

Do you think Gon will get his nen back?

I actually go back and forth on this. It's been a while since I first watched HxH and I used to strongly believe that Gon would never regain his ability to use nen because of his vow.

Do You Think Gon Will Get His Nen Back?

Initially I focused mostly on the "if you want more, there will be a price to pay" line from Ging to interpret Gon's nodes being closed as the "price" he already paid for his nen vow.

However, my feelings towards this have changed.

"Reverted back to normal" is the key words here I want to focus on.

Every person in the HxH world has aura. It's just that they haven't trained enough to open their nodes and use nen. Some people (like Neon, Zepile, and Komugi) unknowingly open their pores, but most people train for it. I can't remember if it has been explicitly stated before but I suspect if someone "doesn't have aura" they'd just be dead. So Gon still has his aura (as Ging says) it's just that his nodes are closed.

Gon is focusing on his schoolwork right now and spending time with Aunt Mito. For now, the story of HxH is not focused on him. I think that if Gon ever finds another goal reason enough to be in the story again, he will regain his nen- at a price.

I think he will have to work harder than he did before to re-open his pores. Last time, he went through a nen-baptism to speedrun it. Narratively I think he should actually learn the proper techniques this time to show a contrast. He rushed his hatsu last time too, even naming it something cheesy. I would love to see a contrast with a fully thought-through ability for him when he comes up with a new one to contrast the two different routes about learning nen.

As for whether or not I think he would still be an enhancer, I have a theory about nen, I suspect it would be determined by how Gon views nen / what he wants to use it for.

Idk about you guys, but Adam's rant before his death kinda reminded me of Angel's breakdown after being rejected by Husk. Both their rants were about how they were hot shit, and the contents of the rants being sexual in nature. Angel yells about how people would KILL for a chance to fuck him, while Adam yells about how him fucking Eve is the reason everyone existed in the first place.

Both of them also talk about sex a lot, and it's the main part of their personality. Angel is like that because he feels like that's how he has to be, likely due to pressure to be like how he's portrayed in the movies he's known for. Many "fans" don't like when celebrities don't act the same way from the media they're known for, and if his fans aren't happy with how he acts, Valentino probably won't be ether.

The whole reason Adam existed in the first place was to breed more humans. Nothing else until he became an angel. All he had was fruit to live off of, and Lilith. When Lilith ran off, she was easily replaced by Eve. Adam could have been just as easy to replace with another man willing to breed if HE had been the one who ran off. But he didn't, because he had nothing else besides Lilith/Eve, and had no idea that Lucifer could have let him join him like Lilith did. So he stayed, and fulfilled his life purpose.

To make this analysis even worse, he was probably really young at the time. His personality makes me think of a sexually active teen who's probably aggressive due to hormones. Being born at that age would make him more likely to fulfill his role God gave him.

In short, it's likely that Adam has sexual trauma as well, and is the reason he acts like a fuck boy all the time. But that's just my theory.
