You know what makes no sense and sucks?
I call it "metamedia" (whatever dafuq the genre is actually called).
I mean these books/podcasts/movies about how someone did something. Actually more or less it's just a biography of some dude who did something somewhen, called "The <name of dude> principle". And most of them could be just a really long interview in some newspaper. But there is no money in newspapers, right? Better publish it as book and all the other platforms/things used for enjoyment before this storm of biographies started.
Audible is full of these and I do enjoy informing myself about the success of some Elon Musk but at some point its fucken enough.:D -
I’m about to finish reading “Bad Blood” by John Carreyou. It’s an amazing story about this Sociopathic young woman managed to dupe so many people with her blood testing startup Theranos which turned out to be a fraud. Low key I’ve been reading too many biographies/novels. It’s about time I focused on my core skills— like coding and docker container orchestration.1

Who do you think is the coolest super hero?
Putting aside technical topics and thinking about hobbies and cinematography, who do you think could be the most popular superhero? I had this dispute with classmates because I collect all the information about Spiderman. I described the biographies of the actors of the films, using various data on the network like https://writingbros.com/essay-examp... I collected information about the character characteristics and reviews on movies. I wanted to write my essay about Spiderman, but none of my classmates supported me. According to the general opinion, he cannot be popular and attract attention.
Maybe he doesn't have the traits of the Hulk or the Powers of the X-Men. But, a super hero is an ordinary person who goes to an ordinary job and leads a seemingly ordinary life.
I thought it was characteristics like these that should attract people.
Who do you think might be one of the most popular superheroes of our time. Of course, it is impossible to single out one leader. But maybe you can form the top 3.9
