    Do people really write “yeah” as “yea”? Why isn’t that pronounced like sea or pea or tea?

    Nobody understands Superman, especially most of his writers.

    Dude is alien Moses created by two Jews during the Holocaust. His arch nemesis is a billionaire/the president. C’mon.

      has there even been a plot line where the system in so corrupt, superman has no choice but to become a villain to safe the world.

      ie he didn’t have the “consent” of the us president.

      probably happened when lex was president.

    This just makes me think of Captain Planet. He knew how to solve these sorts of issues. By beating up assholes and making them stop.

      Only watched half of the video (because it’s something I’m well aware of), so it might have gone into it, but another angle is that there’s often villains that make good points and then suddenly take it in a batshit direction.

      Like Thanos had a point but apparently never understood exponential growth and how reducing all life by any constant factor is just delaying the same result, even if his snap made 99% of people disappear (unless he snaps enough people that the population collapses entirely, which is what he wanted to avoid).

      There’s many other examples where reasonable starting points end up in unquestionably evil conclusions. Pretty sure it’s just propaganda to make people who don’t think much about things link those reasonable beginnings with “evil” in their minds.

      Also there’s characters like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark who are billionaires but their stories always ignore the realities of what must be done in order to become a billionaire (ie underpay staff doing the actual work by billions). In Stark’s case, they sidestep that by giving him super advanced AIs and automation robots, though he’s still the owner of a large corporation, that he still benefits from despite offloading any of the responsibility of even running it to everyone else.

        They even rewrote Thanos to have those Malthusian undertones, originally he just had a bone for Marvel’s legally distinct from DC’d genki goth girl personification of death and wanted her to notice him.

        It’s addressed in the video, that these characters are always written to then go over the proverbial line.

    This is what I like about Wonder Woman. She shows up and is like. “Oh shit! There’s a world war going on! Better go stop that.” Meanwhile in the present super man is stopping random petty theft.

    Couldn’t he just take all the billionaires and fly them into the sun or smth? I don’t know if that alone would fix things, but it’s a start. Also literally no downsides.
