Questin' for Shalla-Bal's company

"The way of the universe is the way of acceptance, not denial. The truly strong are those who do not resist, but absorb." - Master of Zenn-La. (from the cartoon show "Silver Surfer").

The comment was said during a situation where the Surfer was trying to take off a electronic slave collar but ended up shocking him for his attempt. Continuing to be shocked and trying to fight the pain, the Surfer was remembering what he was thought by the Master of Zenn-La to help him cope. When he realized that the collar was feeding off his own energy he was using to resist the shock, The Surfer instead stopped resisting and used his power to absorb the electronic collar into his body and became free. ***(Zenn-La is Silver Surfer's home planet that has a peaceful civilization, with Buddhist-like environment.)

I really thought the comment was very deep and inspiring. Very impressed with the writing of that show. A lot of philosophy is talked about on that cartoon. However it's run didn't last long when it was on Fox. (Only had 9 episodes.) But good thing Peekvid has all of them!

Before I watched the show, I didn't know that much about the Silver Surfer's origin except the Fantastic Four's first encounter with the once called "Herald of Galactus". (oops SPOILER ALERT!!!!! to those who are gonna watch Fantastic 4 movie sequel LOL.) I became interested right after I was alerted on the results of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance website's "March Madness-like" Superhero/Supervillain tourney bracket to see "Who is the best in the Marvel Universe?"

The Silver Surfer was its CHAMPION. Then I went to look and I found the eps on Peekvid. (YAY! ....HI-FAIVE!)

Anyways, Silver Surfer's story is one of courage, sacrifice, tragedy, and adventure and all so in the name of love. (Man... I'm looking for my own "Shalla-Bal" too Surfer! LOL.)



Move over Wolverine you are no longer the "man". Silver Surfer is the real deal and is indeed my hero! (Oh gawd! The idea to build a new Silver Surfer deck for VS. is starting to form in my head. Uh-oh... Too late it has! HAH!)
