Blake Lively on a Superhero

Blake Lively on a superhero " The green Lantern is a unique superhero because it's not that he's super that is his focus; it's that he's a man. He's very human. That's his greatest strength and his greatest weakness."

It is rare that we celebrate humanness as a super hero trait. We think more of traits that lie outside of human capability yet, emotions like compassion and justice are often the motivators of the superhero. Is there a pre-set desire to do good, get the bad guys and rescue the harmed within us? If so, where did it come from?

How can his greatest strength be his greatest weakness? When we are too compassionate, does it make us weak somehow?

I love that Blake is so insightful about a man that focuses on being 'a man' and being human, it is very revealing of the things she values.

Ryan is lucky, she is not just a pretty face.
