 Why those 3?

Growing up mine was Spider-Man. 
 Spider-man cos whenever I watch Spider-Man 2 I remember that even though a lot of people are dickheads, there’s a lot of good in the world to equal it out. He also taught me to be more selfless with my time. Still working on that one though 🙏🏽

Wonder women cos of her childlike innocence - plus she’s a total badass. Also, for ages whenever something bad would happen, my friend and I would blame it on Aries and somehow the problem would seem funny.

Jessica Jones cos she’s flawed. Flawed people are so much more interesting. She’s also a total badass and kinda rude sometimes, but she’s got an amazing heart. Her actions are what count. Just reminds me that just cos someone might be rude or has done bad things, it doesn’t mean they’re bad. Just flawed, like every other human. So when someone’s a dick to me I think, well, maybe they are someone’s hero. Doesn’t mean it’s cool to be a dick to me or anyone, but I just don’t think they’re a bad person is all. 

Also, she’s not super strong like superman, and shes not invincible. Her danger feels real. 

What about you, why did you like Spider-man?
