Marvel Super Heroes

Looking at 2 of my creations for SG50 Needle Felting Personal Challenge gave me an idea - the Samsui woman and NSman crafted for my SG50 challenge were well received by many people for its cuteness and originality, making me prideful ;p Hence I decided to craft more 'cute little people' of diversities and claim it as my signature style! The next inspiration is none other than my childhood favourite heroine, Wonder Woman!

Wonder Woman is probably unknown to my children's generation, their superheroes were some strange forms of Mutant Ninja Turtles, cold looking Transformers and others unbeknownst to me. Fortunately these were transient heroes that do not get stuck in their psyche and they move  on with the flow of current trends. The only character that is still entertaining to them is SpongeBob SquarePants, which I have to admit I find it enjoyable due to its humour.

Thanks to my generation that grew up with classic Superheroes by Marvel, there have been productions of Marvel Superheroes in movies by these talented and creative fans in the film industry - Superman, the Incredible Hulk, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Ironman and lately an amalgamation of Superheroes, The Avengers! They are big budget hi-tech fanciful movies appealing to both children and adults. Now the next generation takes an interest in Marvel comics and their Superheroes.

Back to Wonder Woman - why is there no remake of Wonder Woman in movies?! It's the heroine of most girls my generation, not Barbie Doll?!! Hmmm, could it be due to the movie industry being male dominated - they fantasised out their own male heroes versus the women's female heroes? In any case, it will not eradicate Wonder Woman in my heart ;p 


Here I present the Superheroes of my childhood - Wonder Woman, Superman and The Incredible Hulk (though Hulk was supposedly chunkier in upper body but will not fit into the signature style) :-)
