Ancient Aliens and Super Heroes…
The blog post I found most interesting was Cody’s blog about
the show Ancient Aliens and Super Heroes.
In his post he is describing a show that I occasionally watch with my brother.
This show is a mash up mockumentary, in which they make correlations between
the known world and fantasy worlds of mythology and belief in aliens. They often
show some expert that fills in the blanks for the audience with speculation and
conjecture in order to fill gaps in the lack of continuity to their claims. On
the other hand it is entertaining and even though I find their claims a bit
silly my brother just eats it up. We love to engage in semi intellectual conversations,
even applying rational and empirical philosophical logic to mythological
subjects like zombies, aliens and super heroes. We have determined in our
abstract thoughts that the zombie apocalypse would be most survivable in tropical
environments due to the rate of decay to human flesh. We surmised that superman
would not be able to get the proper amount of resistance on Earth to develop
his muscular physique. The hardest thing for me is that I see this as fiction
and entertainment and my brother I think sometimes really believes it. My
brother would never watch this film that debunks most of their claims.
