Talk about different emotions that god/ super heroes portray. for example, gilga lamented when his friend died. ok in hancock showed love when he met his ex girlfriend and in the end he saved her by keeping distance

From the Epic of Gilgamesh, when the flood killed all the people, the gods who planned this out were regretting it. They were in sorrow, and thought the whole flood was a mistake. This incident shows how the gods can make mistakes, and throughout their lives they might mourn for people and other things.

dude...its gilgamesh, not gilgashit hahahhahahahaha!!!
okay, based on what we learned this quarter we know that God could make mistake, you know from our first story the flood thing. and also from the same story we know that gilgamesh mourned when his friends died. and maybe God also temperament, because the flood occur because the human are too loud haha

That misspell made me lol. I think its the human side or superheroes that does that. I mean if all superhumans were completely superhuman they wouldn't be relatable to us because they'd simply be unstoppable gods that have nothing to do with us. But if we mix in some human emotions that make us all humans that make mistakes, then they make the idea of a god or heroes ten times more attractive and easier for people to follow.

They have all the human emotions I think. I remember hearing about a Greek god who was jealous pf a human? They feel their jealousy really strongly and show that when they punish or just give bad luck to the people they are jealous of.

Even though they are gods, they all have emotions like humans. I would like to come up with examples of Greek mythology. When Achilliues decided to go to Trojan war, his mom was crying. His mom, (i don't remember the name but she was god) was worried about his son might die in the battle. She showed motherly love just like how human mother does to their children. Another example is Artemis. She is a god of arrow and bow. When her lover dies, she cries and miss her lover just like how humans feel sorrow when they lose their lovers.

Well the Epic of Gilgashit in this case clearly depicts alot of human characteristics that paralel with Hancock. Gilgashit has to sleep, like hancock. He is arrogant, which is quite like the Hancock's beginning attitude, and posses super strength. Emotion wise, the fact that they both want people who care for them and the fact that they can be angered easily and have emotional breakdowns when called a certain term such as an "a**hole" or "crazy" shows a lot of weaknesses and problems amongst the gods as it does in gilgashit.

What I lrean about the super heros is the reason that they protect the people it's because they know how to feels like be human, human have emotion, and also they have emotion example: gilgamesh showed his emotions when his best friends died
popol vuh the gods got mad after they made animals b/c they couldn't talk to pray for them
