Response to Future 5 comics

I promise this will be the last blog about comics and the last blog about something someone else criticised. But the reason why I do this is because the Batman: Fortunate son was just stupid, Brain Drain was horrendously stupid but this one I'm typing about is very offensive. Future 5 is supposed to be an educational comic book series about a group of college educated adults fighting against a guy called Dr Know who is trying to take over the world. Sound simple enough? Well Dr Know's method is trying to stop people to go to college so he'll be smarter than anyone else in the world, thus making him rich and powerful. And there is a message in the comic book series; they're saying that if you don't go to college, you will ruin you life forever and regret it. No! That is just offensive! You do need college for a job but a college degree does not guarantee success and all that. OK, I'm choosing to go to college to be a researcher for the media but here me out; I really want to be an author, the researcher part is my second job. I already have plans for my book series, in fact I'm writing a book already and I'm still in High School, and I don't even have this "precious college education". OK, I know college is a useful thing in life and I do need a higher English education to complete that dream. But, the thing is, in my theory, you don't just need good grammar, you need a good inspiration and have to make sure the story makes sense. It doesn't have to be something original, if you make the book something people wouldn't want to put down, you life will be a success. And if you make it a first person view and the character is a kid, it doesn't matter what the words are like, it's OK because it looks like an actual kid wrote it. (Which is why all my books (if possible) are going to have the main character as kids or teens). Look at Sapphire's book "Push", some of the words are misspelled but that looks like it really was written by someone learning to write, but I digress.

So, yeah, the writer of Future 5 thinks that people without college education are going to be complete failures. Oh thanks a lot! That would make more people fell upset and offended. Now don't get me wrong, if you want to take college, fine I don't care, I'm just saying that this is offensive. And the writer did make a good list of famous people and what they succeeded at. Here is a list of some of them I looked up :-

Barack Obama Tom Hanks
Donald Trump J. Craig Ventor(scientist)
Tiger Woods Oprah Winfrey
Maya Lin(architect) Brad Pitt
Martin Luther King Jr Harry Hill
Rita Mae Brown(astronaut) Michael McIntyre


Yeah that's a good list of people but there is a little problem, I done some research and found out even more famous people were successful when some of them didn't go to college or dropped out of college. Here is the list of people who didn't get their college degrees:-

Walt Disney Sean Connery
Simon Cowell John D. Rockefeller(oil magnate)
Wolfgang Puck(chef) Halle Berry(actress) Michael J. Fox(actor) Johnny Depp
Here is the people who dropped out of high school/college:-
Stephen Spielberg Michael Dell Bill Gates Christina Aguilera Woody Allen Louis Armstrong Boy George Jim Carrey
Robert De Nero(Oscar-winning actor) Snoop Dog Joe DiMaggio(baseball player) Zac Efron Eminem
And here is my favourite, the 9 presidents who didn't go to college, see if you recognize some of them:-

Abraham Lincoln George Washington Andrew Jackson Martina Van Buren Zachary Taylor Millord Filmore

So, yeah I bet you didn't expect that, did you?

Now I have to repeat this, I'm not against college, it's your choice, go to college if you want to, I'm just saying people who don't go to college aren't immediate failures. This comic book series is just bringing people down, thinking they are ruining their lives. Now, my sister is taking college and I don't care(much), she chose it, it's OK, it's her life. Oh, and if this comic couldn't get any more offensive, it's suggesting people who work in a fast-food restaurants like McDonalds, are beneath college graduates. Do you know what "inconsiderate" means you brainless eejits!?
