Last Post Wins #3

I never liked superman. in fact i hate him. so here's an essay on why.

He has  too many powers and not relatable and is practically a god. Without his silly amount of powers, he wouldnt even be a interesting person. He never earned his powers, he just had them  Batman, Iron man, Spider-Man, Thor, The Hulk and Captain America are so engaging because they each have a specific fear or obstacle that is central to their character. Superman doesn’t have the realization that his weapons are being used for evil, like Iron Man, or the duality of The Hulk

No internal conflict to speak of. He is good because he is good. Not exactly interesting, unlike batman who protects Gotham  even if they dont understand him or hate him.

His story arcs are the same thing over and over. He doesnt stand for anything. Christ, even Batman Stands for Gotham Cpt Murica for freedom and murcia
(Fuck yeah comming again to save the mother fucking day yeah)

His only weakness is a rock light years away and is pretty much in short supply and even then it only weakens him somewhat. Unlike someone like Thor whose powers come from his hammer.  Thor’s weakness is also his greatest strength, which serves to keep him intriguing.

Zero personality. He has no character arc where he learns a lesson or has to go through a great loss to realize his full potential. Superman is just good all the time no matter what is happening to him or what the circumstances may be. Superman is too distant and too perfect to be a compelling hero.

Zero worthwhile enemies. Batman has joker Thor has loki All mirror opposites of each other. I mean  Lex Luthor and Zod are his most famous enemies and also infinitely weaker than he is. not counting doomsday who is also retarded. The idea of having the villain being weaker than the hero is a great one but not if the don’t have a legitimate way to challenge the hero. For example, just about every villain that The Hulk ever faced paled in comparison to him but it was the nature of Bruce Banner as a character that kept those villains compelling. Banner was like a ticking time bomb whenever he wasn’t The Hulk so in reality he was his own villain.

To summarize this overly long personal rant and fuck you to superman.

Fuck Superman and his stupid reflection of what humanity is

[Regorn]

I think old Superman was just "comic book super hero !"

New Superman is "What if we put God in a human-like body?"

What annoys me the most is the fact that Supermans weakness is (other then the glowing stone that gives people cancer) suppose to be Magic. Superman is not a magical being and such, compared to everything else, he is weak toward magic.

Punched to the moon? He can handle that, Hit with the magic equivalent of being punched to the moon? That's bad for him.
But is not.
he can tank everything! Magic and none-magic alike! Weak toward magic? Bitch please, have you seen him?

The interesting Superman stories are those "Alternative" stories. (Like Injustice when he becomes a Yellow Lantern, that shit looked cool).

Well.

Everyone hates something. Or some character and some see more to them than the ones that hate those characters.

Fun to watch those debates.

[Bamm]

I had many debates over superman in my University's comic book society. Many, many geeky angst ridden arguments were had. We used to have a room above the gym, where the MMA club used to meet. they often burst in thinking a full on ruckus was happening. We were very hardcore in the comic book society.  jimmies were rustled and fanboys fought fanboys

Its' something i seem to have kept with my deep seething somewhat childish hatred of Superman. 

Anyways I found a nice wow video, not sure it was posted or if any of you have seen it.

Superman is a jerk..

I'll have to agree that I generally find Superman boring. Even if I fund Lex Luthor to be a great villain. He just has a crap hero that turns his stories into shit.

[Umaua]

Most people I've met deem Batman to be horrible and a great example of a bad story.

So hey, how ya doin'. *winks at the half-naked Chinese dude*

[Lars]

Half naked Chinese dude is Bruce Lee, has been dead for forty years, and is the person who popularized martial arts of more than the slugger-punching style in western cinema.

[Umaua]

I know who he is and that he is dead.


Why else would I make a joke flirt?

[Lars]

Because those pectorals with those bedroom eyes. That's why.

[Rashka]

Wut O_O why is there some weird topic every time I look here

[Umaua]

Weird topic?

How...is it weird to admire someone's hot looks? Might not be fully appropriate, but then...the guy's dead so who cares.

<3

[Lars]

I admire any impressive physique.

[Umaua]

Exactly!

Perfectly normal subject to be talking about.

Now, if we'd be talking about flirting with a corpse rather than a picture, that would be weird.
