Can we just admit that Superman doesn't work for a modern audience anymore? The idea of someone this good natured and optimistic existing is ridiculous. The mainstream sale of optimism died off in the 80s and somehow this relic of a character has stumbled his way through the decades like a shambling corpse.

Can OP just admit they have a problem and it's beyond embarrassing at this point. At least wait a week before you're sperging again instead of every hour.
Josiah Long
why is it that people who tend to demand nuanced approaches to good and evil and grey morality tend to never apply this in reality?
they talk and talk about moral relativity but when it comes to politics or religion of social issues or even scientific studies its always
>no no, bad bads
or
>good good, kind kinds
like the opposition is always devolved into Skelator and your group is power rangers.
I know this is bait but this always irritated the hell out of me. this probably sounded grown up in your head but in reality you act more childishly then a five year old.
Blake Collins
Prince OP, faggot is he, Ali Ababwa
Benjamin Scott
which is exactly why Zack "Kubrick" Snyder has done a fresh take on the character in live-action.
This Clark actually has struggles and lives in our grounded world where things were not as good in the 40's and how he is the only one to show us that hope still exists
Isaac Cooper
Yeah but he doesn't smile most of the time so fuck you
Nathaniel Diaz
Can we just admit OP is a spamming ban evading faggot that only serves the entire board down with cheap bait?
Nathaniel Cooper
Maybe multiple people just have problems with Superman
Asher Roberts
Maybe you need to fuck off and realize you posts are obvious to point out, you colossal insufferable faggot. You want attention? Either get a trip or make a pasta.
Henry Allen
Nihilist low t bottom of the barrel loser. As long as children still like Superman, nothing is wrong.
Sebastian Hill
He does smile.
It's hard to be optimistic and cheery every single day when half the world hates you for existing and the other half treat you as God.
Benjamin Parker
Agreed, people doesn't deserve hope, they deserve only damnation
Noah Kelly
Ironic the most depraved board ever likes a wholesome symbol of innocence like Supes.
Logan Parker
Optimism and idealism being dead is precisely why Superman and the idea of Superman is more relevant then ever.
Ryder Martinez
>The idea of someone this good natured and optimistic existing is ridiculous.
Fuck you. The world sucks right now and I want to watch a cartoon about a good natured, optimistic, happy hero guy.
Adrian Johnson
This guy's popularity shows that people still want some fucking hope and heroism in their superheroes, so you're absolutely fucking wrong, OP. The problem with Superman right now is that everyone who gets their hands on him in a mainstream adaptation wants to "deconstruct" this shit as opposed to giving people a little bit of hope amidst this garbage fucking world we live in right now.
Eli Cooper
Superman is way more powerful and is not an underdog like Cap is.
Joshua Murphy
>Hur durr my power levels
For Christ sake OP get new material
Owen Ortiz
Superman sells better than Captain America.
How the fuck is the character that sells more "unpopular", while the character that sells less is "popular"?
Nicholas Wright
Ahh so it's a shitty stealth advertising thread. Yawn
Parker Diaz
Off your meds gokufag?
Austin Gray
Robert Campbell
Isn't he also a Thorfag? I seem to recall OP getting super butthurt when his criticisms were applied to Thor
Luis Nelson
That doesn't really matter if written well. Superman is weak to plenty of things.
In no way are the sales of floppies a good indicator of a character's popularity anymore. Also, I never saw where OP suggested we do something to increase book sales, just abandon the entire concept of the character.
Connor King
>In no way are the sales of floppies a good indicator of a character's popularity anymore.
What is, then?
What measure of popularity are you using?
David Price
But compared to someone like Luthor who has an infinite amount of money and can build basically everything he is the underdog. He's just a guy who can punch real hard with a middle class job.
Colton Phillips
>Can we just admit that Superman doesn't work for a modern audience anymore?
No
Evan Murphy
>Oh look it's this thread again
Camden Scott
>Can we just admit that Superman doesn't work for a modern audience anymore?
well seeing as characters like captain America and all might exist the concept of a moral beacon is dead in the eyes of most modern viewers. this whole "superman is to childish and you need to be depressing to be good" probably stems from the cynical writers who work for these mainstream comic publications and who prefer anti-heroes or villains pretending to be heroes because they themselves hate the idea of moral reasonability. or something autistic like that
Ethan Flores
>this good natured and optimistic existing is ridiculous
being good is superman best power
Michael Ramirez
Can we just admit that humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah humble la hummah
Brayden Rodriguez
They don't practice what they preach.
Robert Torres
When was the last time a Captain America story won an award?
Jose Ortiz
Wasn't that story just based on the radio drama.
Tyler Reyes
Yes. And?
When was the last time a Captain America story won an award?
Zachary Thompson
People like captain america, he's pretty much super man without powers
Wyatt Barnes
>People like captain america
Seeing how Superman sells better than Captain America I would say people like Superman, too.
