I think Superman gets an unfair rep tbh. A large part of his character is still him trying to live a normal life with people despite being ridiculously powerful. He is morally righteous because of his loved ones and the ideal side of humanity that inspire him just as much as he inspires others. I find him a more relatable than characters like Thor, Starlord and the like who barely have had a normal life. I think people get hung up on his abilities too much.

I think the big issue with Superman is that it has been nearly half a century since he has had a great blockbuster movie. That's really what defines a superhero to the general population these days. I've heard his new TV show is good though and I really need to get around to it.

Youre kind of dismissing the relatable parts of Marvel here. Alcoholic, isolated, coming to terms with responsibilities, father issues, abusive childhood, etc. all correspond with the same people you described in the OP.

DC is also dismissed because people only make their argument about Superman and Wonderwoman because they don't know many others. Even though those two characters have had a lot of their humanity explored as well.

It's a stupid argument for the ignorant.

True enough. I don't really agree with the DC argument to begin with.
