Superpowers are a Shit Concept for Shit People
greentext bullet points are a shit concept for shit posters
if you want to get people on Zig Forums mad just start a thread with an unfunny webcomic and LOL in all caps
it's this thread again
user you should wait a little longer before you try this thread again
You know I'm right. Superpowers are stupid, and could be easily replaced by conventional tools and skills.
Shut up, Bruce.

Bruce Wayne is a heinous piece of shit. There are plenty of non-powered characters who not only do that shtick better, but also aren't terrible people.
Ok even if you are we already went through this discussion user. There's no point in spamming the same shit outside of shitposting. What are you trying to accomplish here outside of wasting time?
We did not have this discussion last time. You bunch of brain dead retards just said 'no', and brushed my aside. Because you're all so fucking stupid and brainwashed by the media you consume that you outright refuse to consider the possibility that what you have been trained to like may in fact be kind of dumb.
I want to have a fucking discussion on this fucking board about SOMETHING, ANYTHING for once. But every single time I make a thread about whatever it is I'd like to discuss, it gets ignored. Guess I'm not spamming waifus, or being racist enough, or spewing unfunny memes.
Superpowers are fucking stupid, and I'd like to discuss the various reasons why. If you've got too much of the chantardation rotting your pitiful excuse for a brain, then I guess that's just not going to happen. Fucks sake.
Ok cool maybe you'll finally fuck off then
Nah, Green Lantern and Flash are cool. Batman can bite the big one
Keep crying you gigantic pussy
Shut up Garth Ennis, you're a hack.
>actively refusing to actually have the discussion
Your favorite superpowered character has little to no personality outside of what color energy beams they shoot out of their hands.
Bitch maybe take the hint? If you're such a smart guy with the right opinion and we're all idiots go fuck off somewhere.
What is there to discuss?
People already told you that if you don't like it, go read something else. But here you are making the same shit thread again because you're a fucking retard starved for attention.
Shut up Batman and go sober up
Check out Waid’s Flash fool

Precedent has been set, let us follow it.
It's a pretty normie answer but what do you expect out of superheroes?
There isn't anything else TO read, you dumb sack of shit. Capes ARE comic books. If I had other options, I'd fucking take them. But there aren't, and I can't. Fuck you.
Coward. You refuse to have discussion because you lack the ability to talk about anything that isn't constantly regurgitated memeshit. Fucking kill yourself.
Stop being such a faggot.
>Capes ARE comic books
If you ignore literally everything else on the market, including shit from Europe and Asia.
Are you trying to bait or are you this fucking retarded?
So what you’re saying is, we should talk about our favorite superpowers? Mine is electrokinesis because I really loved the show Static Shock
You're a biased retard.
As with any genre, I expect good stories with interesting characters. Superpowers are a narrative crutch that disallow for characters to be properly fleshed out and developed. Once you are "the person who runs really fast", or "the one with super intellect", that's all you ever are because the writer is using those abilities as a substitute for real characterization.
Ok biased retard.
>that's all you ever are because the writer is using those abilities as a substitute for real characterization.
So not only are you a biased faggot, you're a biased faggot that hasn't even read a single cape book in his life
What type of media do you like outside of comics?
Oh please. Let's not even pretend writers don't use powers as characterization. Green Lanterns are a great example. "MUH WILLPOWER". Flash is "GOTTA GO FAST", and Superman especially is constantly boiled down to being little more than a flying brick. It's fucking disgusting.
