Motivation

posted by Zed on October 24 2004 18:21

Marvel’s got a line of motivational posters of the sort spoofed by despair.com. Captain America for Fortitude, the Hulk for Strength, Spider-Man for Character… not a bad idea — some geeks are managers, and vice versa.

And then I saw this one.

Magneto, a character who has repeatedly advocated and pursued literal genocide, standing for Possibilities.

I think the best I can hope for here is that whoever came up with these had never actually read the comics or seen the movies.

I just noticed this one, featuring the Punisher: "To fight when others fold, pursue while others retreat, conquer while others quit, and make right when all else is wrong."

This from a character whose modus operandi is to kill anyone who he sees as worthy of punishment.

Someone making those posters is way, way, out of touch.
