Subject: IMAGINE Magazine Question for 3/15


I know we are (for the most part) all adults here. Our childhood behind us and all those childish things that society says you need to outgrow are all growed out of. (I'm not changing it, I don't care! LOL!) But you can't tell me you don't remember some of the cooler parts of being a kid. Before work, and bills, and responsibility did all it could do to kill the inner child off, I know mine is still alive and well in there, I just can't see him anymore when I look in the mirror. He makes himself known when I'm watching a movie, or listening to music, or reading. Which leads me to where our question comes from.

I can remember sitting in front of our TV on the floor in our living room when I was like 6 or 7ish watching "The Amazing Spider-Man". Glued to the screen watching this character crawl up walls and swing through the city on what was often an obvious background loop. Busting bad guys and leaving them all tied up and dangling there for the police to gather up. The animation may have been corny but, the idea of an ordinary kid being bit by a spider and then becoming a superhero as a result made me wish it could happen to me. I'd take a spider bite if it meant I could be special like Peter Parker was and not be 'just me'. I think that was one of the first times I found myself ever wishing I actually was a fictional character and of course, it was far from the last time.

Do I still sometimes do this as an adult? I'l be a liar if I said no. Of course with Tom Holland being the current Peter Parker I have entirely different fantasies regarding Peter Parker ::grin:: but often I can find myself wondering what life would be like if I was the person on the screen or on the page. I may not let my imagination take it to embarrassing levels but, I would totally rock a Spidey suit in private though! LOL!

So, who do YOU wannabe? Could be from any source too. A story, Anime, Cartoon, Movie, Comic... 💜
(If we get enough Avengers, we totally need to assemble! You know that, right?)
