I've never cared about anything superman related because it is just the most boring premise of a character to me. what's the best way not get lumped in with idiots like this?

If the premise of a superman story is "strong guy fight strong guy," then yeah, not very interesting. What I'd prefer to see is a story that explores what having superheroes around does to humanity. What happens when a kid copies Superman and jumps off a building, and doesn't get caught? What happens when police expect a superhero to do their job for them? At what point does Superman decide to step away because he thinks he's causing more harm than good?

Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...

Hol the F up, the guy from Believe it or Not was superman?

Why tho?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The guy from Superman was on Ripley's. He was one of the popular actors in that era. The show was pretty good and he had a decent turn as the Boy in Blue.

"Truth, Justice and A Better Tomorrow"

I can get behind that
