Total Recall: The 10 Best Superhero Hookups
by RT Staff | July 09, 2008
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

No doubt Hellboy and Liz Sherman turn heads while playing frolf at the park, or at IKEA when looking for mid-priced dressers. Superheroes may be unusual, but, hey, even the unusual need relationships. And these two have picked the best summer for their blockbuster love: between the rekindled senior romance of Indy and Marion, the sight of Israeli and Palestinian stylists knocking combs, and the sweet purity of Wall-E and EVE, it's been a long season of unusual relationships. Perfect for superheroes in love. In tribute to Hellboy II: The Golden Army, here's Rotten Tomatoes' list of the most memorable superhero hookups done in Movieopolis. Back to Article

"No part of Daredevil deserves to be mentioned in any "best" list."

Oh I dunno, maybe Best Movie Featuring a Greek Assassin and Ben Affleck as a Blind Man?

Ok...so this list is a thinly veiled promotion for Hellboy 2, a handful of the list isn't even superheroes, half of it is filler since there isn't enough superheroes in love to fill out a list of 10, the 10th one isn't even in-love, and you managed to leave Hellboy off the list....Brilliant.

Do you guys spend more time on the list, or searching for the videos on YouTube? I'm guessing the latter....

The pink and green rangers need to be number one. It's really, really, really hard to get 7 year old boys to buy in to a love story the way me and my friends did that one.

haha. Well... since all the people here like to say how bad the lists are lets do this.

For the next list RT will ask a question... for instance "Who is the best superhero couple"

then the RT community will all comment on who they think is the best.

Then Rt will count the votes and find the top ten.

That way people can b!tch about each other rather than lash out at our friendly RT staff who awesomely makes this stuff for all these people who don't have lives so they read lists and b!tch about them (yes.. that kinda includes me).

the only problem with this brilliant idea is that i don't know how many people would participate. but hey...... then people couldn't complain. it was DEMOCRACY! you don't want to vote then you don't get to comment.

When we decided to write this, we thought we'd have some fun with it. Methinks some of you take these lists way too seriously.

As a matter of fact, vaodsi, when we started brainstorming about it, we did actually start off with something along the lines of "Who's the best superhero couple?" Then we just went from there. Thought it would be fun to include some entries from out of left field, like Bluntman/Chronic and the Power Rangers. Oh well, can't please everyone.

"When we decided to write this, we thought we'd have some fun with it."

Maybe that's kind of part of the problem. The lists have no validity, and they're posted in the news section.

Vaodsi has a point. Why not make it something that everyone can contribute their two bits to, rather than the 5 dorks in the RT Thinktank? I mean you keep making all these "Top 10" lists, but instead of actually making a well thought-out list of the Top howevermany, you just kind of arbitrarily place them and throw in a couple oddball ones for giggles. Clearly people will take these seriously when you announce it as "The best ______ of all time". This list is just particularly bad, because there isn't even enough superhero's in love with each other to fill out all 10 slots. The Matrix isn't a superhero movie. Neither is Underworld. It just looks like you're not even trying, and you're expecting us to congratulate you all on your poor attempt.

Ya'll need to either take these lists a little more seriously (as so many of the commenter's do), or allow the RT community a chance to vote for their favorites. Or if you're not willing to do either, maybe make a "Retarded Tomatoes" section for the obviously-not-serious crap, so that people won't expect anything more than some half-baked goofiness.

Thanks for the enormous Hancock spoiler. Teaches me not to read Rotten Tomatoes articles, I guess. You guys should really know better than to put in a spoiler about a movie that's barely even been out a week. That's a real buzz kill and you should edit it out before you ruin more people's experiences on your site.

Good God, people! This is suppose to be fun. Who gives a ****? Why are you being dicks! Who care about Hancock? If you enjoyment of the film is your hope for a weak twist then maybe you need to search out better movies. If you don't like the list don't click on it. This (Rotten Tomatoes) isn't life. It is just a way to pass your shift at work when you should be doing something that is actually job related.

When you mention Green Ranger, the one that comes in mind is the fighter pilot who flirts with Miss Fairweather, eventually goes out on a date with her when all hell breaks loose, again!!! Oh, that was lightspeed ranger series. BTW XMA founder Mike Chat was the blue ranger in that series. Plus I think there was a thing going on with some of the other rangers

OH this sounds so nerdy :)

"What depresses me inutterably is that children, who are fresh and inquisitive, will go to this movie and, for 88 minutes, the movie will do what it can to deaden their imaginations."

That was a direct quote from Roger Ebert about Power Rangers the Movie. Not to be a smarta** or anything.

I can't think of a more useless or sillier list. To each their own.
