I thought it was such a unique concept to play parents who happen to be super heroes and have a son who is going through puberty and starting high school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that as I had children, I have five sons, and they got into video games and were the prime ages through the development of video games. It was so much fun seeing them play the games and seeing it through their eyes.
There are so many stories about boys becoming heroes, learning their powers and becoming incredibly heroic. There have to be those stories for girls, too.
Adult characters are all the things they've encountered over time. But kids haven't accumulated all the life experience, all the regrets. They tend to be more in the moment, more willing to play, to be joyful.
I think that 'Heroes' really is about family. I mean, sure, it's this surreal story, and it's about people with powers, but the story behind that story is a story of family.
Play is the work of childhood.
Most young people haven't used their storytelling skills since they were 8 or 9 or 10 and wanted to persuade Mom and Dad to take them to the ball game.
I did my share of kid acting, like lots of us do. I even played King Herod when I was 6, but when I got to the end of my school period, that was it.
When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream.
I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be - as long as they want to be something great.
I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.
