Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Things Superheroes Might Say to Their Therapists



Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.    

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a genre freebie. I often struggle with these. Today, however, I'm feeling a little zany. It could be because I've been thinking lately about being a Gen Xer. 

This sticker is real life. Oh, and in case we ever forget it...

Saw this on Reddit. Too funny not to share.

Today, we are going to take a TTT journey through the Top Ten Things superheroes of my day might say to their therapists... not that they would have therapists, because superheroes in my generation didn't have very deep backstories, and their trauma was something they were just expected to ignore. 


I am so tired of being compared to a bird and a plane. Aren't I cooler than that? ~ Superman


Why can't Lois love Clark Kent instead of me? ~ Superman


Even after leaving Paradise Island, I can't get away from my annoying little sister. ~ Wonder Woman


How can Steve be in the Army Air Corps intelligence division and not know that I'm Diana Prince? ~ Wonder Woman


Is it any surprise he's called the Boy Wonder? I wonder how many times I have to save him. ~ Batman


How do I get Catwoman to look at me like she does Batman? ~ Robin


Kermit was right. It's not that easy being green. ~ The Hulk


If I could just find that Zen place, I could stay Bruce Banner forever. ~ The Hulk


Shouldn't the King of Atlantis have more screen time? ~ Aquaman


What did I ever do to Jameson anyway? ~ Spiderman

  5. What a delightful post! So much fun!

    I wonder what the official definitions are of Gen X, Millenials, and Boomers. I'm a definite Boomer (1956). My older brother is definitely a Boomer (1948). My sister is also a Boomer, I think (1959). I am not sure about my younger brother (1965).

    1. Thanks, Deb. I haven't read this article fully, but it covers the generations: https://mccrindle.com.au/article/topic/demographics/the-generations-defined/ I once took a class about understanding different generations to help professional relationships. It was so interesting. Thanks for visiting.
