Many people are always confused about the relationship between the two. Many people think that ability and talent are actually the same thing, but in psychology, their main difference lies in spiritual drive and needs.
If you complete something with your ability, it is called you have the ability to complete something. If you complete something with your ability perfectly, or even far beyond the specifications, it is called you are very capable in a certain aspect.
You are passionate about something, can focus for a long time, do not follow the herd, can innovate, and achieve results that are different from others and better than others within a unit of time, and can be deeply encouraged by it. This is called you are in a certain aspect.
Talented.
Your boss asks you to do something, and if you do it and finish it, then you are capable of completing the job. If you do it better, it means you are more capable.
But the driving force is the boss's task, and the reward may be salary or praise from the boss. Both driving force and reward are indirect and external.
But if you do something by yourself just because you want to do it, and you complete it after thinking about it, you will feel extremely satisfied with it in the process, your spirit will be comforted, your mood will be relaxed, and you will also achieve something.
Quite impressive results show that you are talented in this area.
Whether it's the idea that drives you to complete this thing or the reward that makes you feel happy, it's all direct and internal.
Ability is more like a tool for social communication with the outside world, while talent is more like a system that anchors the value of one's own existence.
Ability is usually a one-time deal. You may have the ability to study and take exams, the ability to do business and politics, and the ability to persuade others. In order to obtain your survival needs, you will continue to use these different abilities to gain a foothold in society.
Talent is usually a complete system. Your spiritual drive, cognitive ability, thinking ability, execution ability, and feedback mechanism are highly unified. You can obtain all your material and spiritual needs from this one thing.
It can be seen from this that the editorial department only set abilities for the character of the Laughing Bat.
He has the ability to defeat powerful enemies, he has the ability to plan a huge conspiracy, and he has the ability to obtain certain powerful items.
But does he have the spiritual drive to do this? Does he have the cognitive ability to correctly understand this event from multiple aspects and angles? Does he have the ability to innovate the methods and methods to complete this process? Does he have the ability to implement original ideas?
Execution ability? Is there a feedback mechanism to satisfy one's spiritual needs and self-worth realization needs from completing this series of events?
Obviously, he has neither.
What he wants to do, what he does, what he gains, and what he feels, these four things have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
He wanted to destroy the universe, but he did not adopt the most efficient method. The method he adopted to destroy the universe could not actually destroy the universe. He did not reap the benefits of destroying the universe, nor did he feel anything from his various actions of destroying or not destroying the universe.
any happiness.
It may be a bit thin to say this, but if you make a slight comparison, you can clearly feel the difference.
The Joker wanted Batman to laugh, so he used all kinds of tricks and tried his best to direct dramas that might make Batman laugh. He almost made Batman laugh several times, and in the process, he came from the bottom of his heart.
of happiness.
Batman wanted to take revenge on criminals, so he honed his skills, improved his level, created the deterrence of the Dark Knight, and established a new order in places where the law could not take care of. In the process, he
I also feel satisfied.
So the Joker is both talented at amusing the Batman Who Laughs and Batman is talented at fighting crime.
Even if the editor adds the sentence "He finally used his powerful wisdom to get close to his goal, and now he feels sincerely happy" in the hilarious plot, this character will not be so thin.
The character's motivation allows the audience to understand his pursuit, the character's method allows the audience to understand his ability, and the character's gains make the audience resonate. If these are not available, then what are the audience watching?
Just like Laughter used time skipping to completely hide the transformation process of Spider-Man and Jason, the editorial department used various unreasonable abilities imposed on Laughter to completely hide Laughter's motivations, techniques and gains. So what exactly are comic readers?
What are you looking at?
Although Schiller's actions in this play are not as legendary and inspirational as those of other Arkham madmen, he hits the point more directly, exposing the most essential core of The Laughing Bat's actions - escape and nihilism.
A certain country's creation of characters in its cultural content can actually partially reflect the characteristics of that country, and changes in the style of character creation can also reflect the changes in the country's times.
For a long time, American comics simply advocated heroism, distinguishing heroes from ordinary people and then confronting them, so as to outline various dramatic conflicts.
But at that time, the values of heroes were still relatively normal. They should be brave, strong, aggressive, punish evil and promote good. This also represented the pride and ambition of the world's beacon in the glorious era.
Then some anti-heroes appeared one after another. They were no longer completely right, but had their own reasons, both good and evil. The story no longer only emphasized the rightness of the hero and the wrongness of the criminal. They no longer cared whether they were right or not.
Rather than a lighthouse, they began to move towards the world's police.
And when characters like the Laughing Bat appear, they not only no longer pursue theoretical victory, but they no longer even explore methods of practical victory. Does this sound very similar to the spiritual victory method?
Even if I have no goals, no plans, no self-realization, no consideration of my own feelings, I will still win.
This is a complete escape thought and nihilism. When they start to think, in a virtual world, I can do whatever I want. How strong this character is depends on me. Don’t worry about whether I am reasonable or not. This is a comic.
When you lose if you take it seriously, it means that they lack both the theory to convince people and the ability to really shut up people.
Is the setting of Superman outrageous? In the era when Superman appeared, this setting was simply outrageous, so outrageous that it opened the door to outrageousness. But editors can show true heroism through Superman stories. These plots can reflect
His ideals can convince the audience, so Superman is very popular.
Is Batman's setting outrageous? Even in this day and age, his outrageousness is still talked about, but they have enough ways to make Batman's story widely spread around the world, and once it becomes popular, it will
Decades later, when this becomes a childhood memory, it doesn't matter how outrageous it is. Batman is still a star hero.
Moreover, the two outrageous publications are no less outrageous than Laughter. There are even some ancient publications unknown to the public. They are really divorcing Jian Pu and Wu Xin Pu, which is the most outrageous.
This shows that the failure of Laughter does not entirely come from his outrageous settings, but that the United States' ability to persuade readers to convey values through comics has weakened, and its control over world pop culture has also weakened.
What's more, the editorial staff knows this, and they themselves have a guilty conscience, so the laughs must win, because they no longer have the confidence to use superhero stories to explore deeper issues, because they understand that this is no longer the case.
It’s an era when values are exported to confuse right and wrong, so only winning can prove correctness.
Therefore, the editorial department can only remove the essence and select the dross, abandon the discussion of values and various social issues in the stories of Batman and Superman, and only take their final wins, in an attempt to achieve success in this way.
Create brilliance, and the result will naturally be huge.
Many people are puzzled by this, thinking that this is a cliff-like decline in the editorial department's creative standards, but they also don't think about it, this is not just a cliff-like decline in the editorial department, it is obviously that the entire country is reverting to the mean.
Many people may think, isn’t he just an outrageous character in a comic? How could he become so big with his small opinions?
But in fact, there are no coincidences in history.
In September 2017, the comic "Dark Days: Casting" was released, and the Laughing Bat made his debut. It aroused an enthusiastic response as soon as he appeared. Later, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, becoming one of the most failed comic characters in American history.
In May 2017, Tiktok, the overseas version of Douyin, went overseas and became popular across the United States. Since then, the traditional media, the mouthpieces of various forces in the United States, have collapsed, and the decline of the United States' global voice has begun.
At that time, the main content of this software was not to discuss American comics. The decline of the reputation of Laughing Bat may not have anything to do with this small software.
But looking at the long history, a series of historical events that are too close can only prove that this moment must be a certain historical node, and something must have taken an astonishing turn at this point in time.
And also taking history as a guide, these small things are not the straw that breaks the camel's back. If the timeline is pushed forward a little further, these are just the aftermath of another huge wave set off from the Eastern Sea.
Continuing the analysis from this, where does this concept of nihilism, escapism, and must-win come from?
Cultural confrontation always comes first and slower than anything else, because literati always make arrogant predictions, but enjoy the vanity brought by hindsight. Cultural turning points sometimes foreshadow future events, but more often than not they are
It changes after major changes in the situation.
If I never have an opponent, I naturally don’t have to win. If I can easily crush my opponent, I can naturally write a few victory articles about my crushing methods. If I have a draw with my opponent, I will definitely win.
I will write with the best of Spring and Autumn style how I won effortlessly and effortlessly.
If you want to fight but lose, at least write down from other angles why we deserve to lose blood. Even if we at least dare to fight, we must praise courage and speak out for justice.
If all that is revealed in the end is escape and nothingness, what exactly is going on?
Schiller stared at the Laughing Bat. He had hoped that this character would never appear in front of him, but from another angle, he hoped that he would appear soon.
It's not that Schiller is anxious to kill him, but once he appears, it means that some of the questions that have been unresolved in Schiller's heart have finally been answered.
Standing in front of the Laughing Bat, Schiller closed his eyes slightly.
When he could no longer hear any sound due to bomb explosions that were louder than the roar of airplane engines, his blurred vision in the tremor stayed on the dial of the watch, and the year number stayed on "2016".
There are so many ways to travel, why should I write about a plane crash??!! How can modern planes crash so easily!!!
