Master Legend is the sort of Superhero your parents warned you about as a kid. Stay away from that drunk, disorderly, and insane man in spandex; and certainly never get inside his battle van no matter what he says, or he will probably rape you (not to say ML would, I just lived in a weird neighborhood as a child). I understand we do not live in some ideal world where every person out there claiming to be a superhero is like superman, and people have their flaws, but there is an inherent danger with someone like that roaming the world claiming to save lives. Someone who lives by the attitude of kicking ass and taking names, all in the name of some voodoo practice. This man rides around Florida dispensing his own brand of justice and lack of due process, and yet the community still neglects to separate him from them. Crack another beer, have a nice big gulp of the warm keystone light, and relax. I am sure that's what you did at the megacon in Florida the other day, it's how you took the edge off for your panel. We all have our vices, mine just happens to be punching cripples, but again I digress. This is just one man out of millions, out of billions, a drop of water in one giant pool. We all know what the RLSH are supposed to symbolize, good deeds and purity, and the things we could never be, but when you watch one fail, and you watch one act recklessly, forgetting that he is just a man at heart. We enjoy pointing out that imperfection, we long for it. Now isn't that where the problem really lies? We continue to bring down those that do good instead of trying to lift them up, we bash their problems and do not help with solutions.
THAT is what is inherently wrong with the general populace in our present time. We as a public would rather criticize the good someone else is doing rather than try to make it better. Yes people have a lot of problems, and every single person suffers from some form of psychological disorder, and our own long list of flaws, and no one is able to claim themselves above anyone else, but we still do. We give ourselves the feeling of power and leadership, but truly we have nothing, we allow those people to guide and lead us, to be our example, when we should be together, leading and working together, gaining the strength we need to make the improvements the world desperately needs. The problem there, is greed. Every person is more worried about how things will affect them, how much money it's going to cost them, and not about how to actually put forth the effort to improve things. We do not genuinely care for our fellow man, when stopped on the street for a children's foundation, or helping the homeless, we walk past, say we don't have time, we ignore, we turn our blind eye.
Our complacency is our biggest disease. Something that we have to change, something that will not change on its own. And once people fucking get that we may have a chance, once people fucking understand that we cannot just expect others to do it for us, once we fucking get that we are our own enemies, that we are the cause of our problems and no one else, accepting our own fucking responsibility for once as a species, and get over our own ego's as mankind, only then can we do any fucking good.

All this talk about alcoholism is making me thirsty. Well... That and crack gives you serious dry mouth.
ReplyDeleteI believe you asked on Poop's blog for someone with "a noble" viewpoint to give insight on ML. Well, I have the following thought...
Even though ML has proven himself to be a bat-shit crazy drunk and seems to have more people disappearing around him faster than the missing bottles in his hotel mini-fridge, I think the last thing anyone should try and do is push him away. This is a man with possibly serious mental problems that could worsen down the road without help. What did Uncle Ben say?
"With great power comes greater responsibility"
Well, now it's time for the heroes to start taking responsibility for ML's behavior. He needs help, if not medical then someone just to steer him in the right direction once in a while. Think for a second: This guy has a very fragile grasp on reality, talks about living through violence and seems to REALLY believe 100% of this hero stuff. What if he finally snaps? What if something goes wrong in his life that finally drives ole ML over the edge? Do you really want to be the person who was telling everyone to keep away from him like the plague? I'm looking at you as I type this, Z.
The last thing anyone should be doing right now is neglecting him.
But hey, that's just my opinion.

P.S.: Happy Saint Patrick's Day, ML!
You misunderstand my point, I do not mean that he should be cut off, but he should be helped, he should be taken out of his "ranks" and given the real help he needs. If this man is just playing a character, fine, but if he genuinely believes the shit he spews, there are some serious problems. This is more than RLSH taking care of their own, this is a general responsibility, even in your comment left, you say to let the rlsh take care of him. That entirely misses the point of what i am trying to get out there. We all have to take responsibility, if you don't want someone like that out there then take the steps to fix it, stop pushing the problems onto others, dont just expect someone else to do it.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see this guy gets all the help he needs, hell if I no one else steps up I'll do it myself, but I feel that this should have been the job of his peers. People like 'Super Hero', a guy who claims to be one of his best friends, should have been the FIRST to jump the very second ML started to board the train to Crazy Town.
ReplyDeleteSure, I talk a wealth of shit in the sake of being 'evil', but I really do worry about folks like ML.
I think you should call up Malvado's show tonight Virus. This is a good topic of conversation.
ReplyDeleteI have a crazy schedule wednesdays and I am trying my best, i want to call in. I think we could have a great discussion about this.
ReplyDeleteThank god you didn't. I got drunk and forgot to start the show.
