CYCLOPS might be a serial adulterer, interdimensional time and space deadbeat father, general who often sends child soldiers to die.
But what is truer than most is that he is a revolutionary freedom fighter who cares for the oppressed. 🧢
Overpowered Superman 99% of the time will always be more interesting than under/mid-powered Superman any day of the week!
Most people who nerf Superman do so because they lack imagination, and not because they want to tap into the brash, socialist Golden Age roots (the 1%)
One of the things that I love about Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow is that Lois seems to have moved on with a random guy after Superman died.
I was pissed! But then I looked at his name.
Jordan Elliot.
JOR-EL.
GODDAMNIT KAL CAN YOU RETIRE WITHOUT GASLIGHTING ME AGAIN
Flash Fact:
Wally West and Linda Park once sold their marriage to the Devil to save Central and Keystone City.
But their love is so strong, the Devil is forced to return their marriage back because it was poisoning him.
Also a Flash Fact: Spiderman fans can't relate to this.

While he didn't write them, his direction of course dictated the script. Obv he won't shoot something he doesn't believe in.
But saying Morrison has no ground to say anything is false lmao, at worst he has as much as Snyder.
@ComicsMeta
I do wish 20 years from now, when they are going to bring back "old" companions, it wouldn't be Donna or Rose, but it would be Martha.
Given that an old companion was brought back recently for a second chance, Martha would work wonderfully.
Superman as a character was originally made for children and we shouldn't be afraid to admit it.
There are a lot of pretentious takes about how mature, dark DC can be especially with Superman, but really they're just insecure.
Superman can fit any tone when done right.
People always say that Superman needs to lose the trunks in order to be modernized for the 21st Century.
But what he really needs is to have every trace of Byrne's involvement removed.
Permanently.

YEAH IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE DAWG BECAUSE NAZIS ARE WHITE
THAT'S THE WHOLE ARYAN THING WITH THEM BEING WHITE, BLUE EYES, AND BLONDE
IF YOU REMOVE IT OUT OF CONTEXT NO SHIT IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE
@Cosmonaution
People are weak, Ramos literally works very collaboratively with his colorist, for example the transparent shiny texture of his webs.
People are just weak, he's good regardless if it's flat colors or not 😭

My brother in Christ the first one wasn't even being that negative, it's slight snide at best but you took it as blasphmey against God.
At the end of the day: Superman is a story about the immigrant experience.
Child of both worlds, but could never fit anywhere.
His strong moral code is BECAUSE of his unique assimilation of both cultures. To forget his alien side and insist he's human is not to understand him.
The main problem with modern takes of Superman is they keep reminding us that he's an alien.
He is a good man with good morals and strong ethics, he'd be that way regardless of his origins.
Focus on that.
Seeing Gavin J Konop being practically at the top of the world, having 100k on his fan film and being in a prestigious university...
And now being a Grocery Store Employee is such a funny development ngl 💀
@D4hz4hn
Obviously Superman shouldn't be able to use all his Silver Age powers, but he should totally keep cool ones!
Ability to break time barrier, super-ventriloquism, etc.
Look, the less we talk about face-clay-morph, the better.
The reason why Legion of Super-Heroes reboots fail is this:
They ALL tried to modernize the silver age without telling new stories but ALSO ignoring cool new shit previous eras established.
Causing LoSH to feel EVEN MORE OUTDATED.
@AveryIsGayVery
I do think the design itself evoking of the black suit, and the context in which it's designed by Tony to camouflage Peter made sense.
I think the hate for man on stems from:
1. Looking shit
2. Undermines Peter by giving too much buff
It doesn't really give him extra power lol
Growing up is realizing that New 52 Superman is pretty good, actually.
Once you get past the collar that makes him look edgy for no reason, it was a good era that explored younger, rougher Superman and modernized his golden age lore.
(We exclude Scott Lobdell here)
Hi guys my name is Pootish and I got suspended (again).
If you guys saw somebody blowing up shitting in The Flash movie, that was probably me.
I enjoy:
- The Flash
- Superman
- The Legion of Super-Heroes
Rt for follow lmao.
It's so funny that Crisis on Infinite Earths ABSOLUTELY FAILED at it was trying to do: making DCU simple to understand.
Instead, it made everything infinitely more complex and set bad precedent of DC to reboot everytime things didn't go their way *even* slightly.
@FitMarshmellow
@EmeraldBaz
He and his models have similar looks which is quite funny.
But I do wonder if he glances into the mirror for quick ref from time to time.
Ngl it's always so funny when people say "Superman isn't a boring character with no conflicts! Watch Superman TAS-"
Bro you're talking about the same thing.
The Legion cartoon having some of the best look these characters ever had is crazy, because none of them was ever ported into the comics.
Even this is probably the best Superman ever looked in animation tbh.
@owe4408
Thematically it's kinda insane how Chris fits so well, being an adopted son just like Kal was.
Jon's celebration was massive biological preference. Especially with Chris being evil for some reason.
@JazzDunn2
Ngl the whole white saviour thing does fall apart when people realize Superman is basically saving his people here and not just random aliens.
Okay I gotta clarify:
I don't necessarily dislike a robotic Brainiac, but I do think if you make him a Krypton AI you cut a lot of cool Colu stuff and in return make DC Cosmic seem smaller.
You can always do with organic Brainiac replacing his body parts for mechanical ones.
But Imma be honest, the main reason is that I can't live without my boy, Brainiac 5.
And when the cartoon changed him from a robot into a humanoid I fucking cheered too, it was wonderful.
Me wanting to make a thread assessing how Bendisboot Legion's mistakes stem from Threeboot Legion's but on steroids, and I don't because the entire thread would be like this:
@JazzDunn2
Your Fleischer inspired Superman get up is the best anyone came up with, since it doesn't rely on cheap quick nostalgia without regards to Golden Age Superman.
1. Comics needs to be affordable for younger people, rn they're a very expensive hobby to get into.
2. Comics needs to be accessible, no not just comic stores but normal book stores as well.
3. More genre outside of super-heroes!
4. STOP REBOOTING.
Ngl one of the main reasons DC's cosmic side isn't as interesting as Marvel's is that 90% of their cosmic lore is tied to Rainbow Corps and their worlds & races are barely explored 💀
@Mr_Smith618
@Willow_Wickes
Everybody thinks Ultimatum is shit and Morrion's take on Magneto was horrendous read comics you didn't just google lil' bro 😭
No Superman - Clark - Lois love triangle, no exploration of his sense of loneliness.
It's bare bones lmao. Even the creators admit they aren't as enthusiastic as w/ Batman.
"But how about the Clark Kent dies episode? or Apocalypse Arc? 🤓" - Exceptions, you remember the rest?
Ngl the answer might be because you never liked Flash in the first place.
The Flash has always been about using science to come up with creative solutions to a challenge:
A single super power.
Fundamentally it's education. That's why The Rogues are smart people using tech.
I feel like people took the saying "Superman always finds a way" literally.
But that we don't mean Superman always wins, there are times when he doubts himself and lose.
But he always gets back up. Doing what's right despite having any reason.
That's Superman.
@ProfofEvil
Okay in the first trilogy we have Barry starting with his origin, the second movie have Kid Flash, and then in the third movie Barry dies and Wally becomes the Flash.
And then, in the next trilofy-
Interrogate a superman fan enough, and you will get them to admit they hate supergirl, the legion, superboy, kandor, literally everything that isn't fucking Krypto and/or Steel.
@wariostan69
@Cosmonaution
Caring about characters because of outside media and then hating said media for butchering those characters is just peak CBM moment.
This is why The Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon is THE GOAT 🐐
It was able to take good things from every era and mesh them together without being shy of the silly parts of LSH. It was awesome.
🗣️🗣️🗣️
Comic fans will get pissy when a writer has Nostalgia for stuff from when they were kids even though fans do the exact same stuff for the stuff they grew up with
Liking stuff from all different era's and realising the stuff you liked as a kid was kinda shit >>>
Should've used this moment tbh.
Finally after 12 issues, in a broken and tormented universe, hope shines once more.
The Legion of Super-Heroes, reborn!
The moment was so powerful I teared up a bit.
@Ms_Blapo
@Rssthr5
You know when you really think about it, car crashes are just punching someone real hard with a machine but nobody think it isn't bad lmao.
I find it highly ironic, that Arms-Fall-Off-Boy, a character who was created as a joke now has more fame & acclaim than The Legion of Super-Heroes who spawned him.
It's so funny yet deeply saddening lmao.
