Kim_Seong-a 12/02/22 8:45:34 PM #35:	My problem with these conversations in superhero media is that the line they draw always seems super arbitrary. Every saturday morning these characters have no problem taking it upon themselves to beat the shit out of villains without any involvement from the authorities. They already operate outside the law. (With the sole exception of Adam West's Batman, who was officially deputized by the Gotham PD lol) But then they'll randomly get into these stories where it's like "but what if superheroes bad?" and suddenly everyone becomes philosophers with morals they didnt have last week. Funniest thing is that recently in the comics Superman had a story where he's like "Fuck it. I'm going straight to War World to free all the slaves and stomp Mogul into submission" So when it's an alien government committing war crimes, everything's kosher. But when it's an earth government committing war crimes, it's "but what about the ethics of superheroism" >_> (Also, the Superman Warworld saga was actually really fucking good and if you have the ability to check it out I recommend it) --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr <cite>Kim_Seong-a posted [p:969872487] in The Old Ju...

Every saturday morning these characters have no problem taking it upon themselves to beat the shit out of villains without any involvement from the authorities. They already operate outside the law. (With the sole exception of Adam West's Batman, who was officially deputized by the Gotham PD lol) But then they'll randomly get into these stories where it's like "but what if superheroes bad?" and suddenly everyone becomes philosophers with morals they didnt have last week. Funniest thing is that recently in the comics Superman had a story where he's like "Fuck it. I'm going straight to War World to free all the slaves and stomp Mogul into submission" So when it's an alien government committing war crimes, everything's kosher. But when it's an earth government committing war crimes, it's "but what about the ethics of superheroism" >_> (Also, the Superman Warworld saga was actually really fucking good and if you have the ability to check it out I recommend it) The writing of Superman stories has been pretty good for a few years. --- I'm a man, and I'm a man...

Snyder wasn't allowed to do what he wanted so that's moot. He wanted MoS, Batman, MoS 2, and THEN BvS. Could it have ended up being shit anyway? Yeah probably but the people who ruined it were executives trying to play catch up to marvel, not directors & producers. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:969873598] in The Old Ju...

UnfairRepresent 12/03/22 9:02:15 AM #43:	I knew it was going to be Green Arrow. He was great in that cartoon. I love the unapologetic pointing out of how fucked up the Justice League are but it's okay because "They're good guys." Obviously it's a cartoon but yeah, that's terrifying. I think Watchmen was an influence there. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:969881216] in The Old Ju...
