>>146560152So what's he gonna do, punch the microplastics?
>>146560152It’s just a matter of target selection.
Because genociding every rightoid on the planet sets a pretty bad precedent
>>146560152Except he does do stuff like that in the comics. Whoever made this comic doesn't read them and just thinks Superman punches bad guys. Superman is just like Batman in that they tackle problems for the common man and do major acts of kindness to benefit the world but it ultimately doesn't amount to much because it's the comic book world and you can't just cure cancer or end world hunger and have it stick.

>Why don't you just put the whole WORLD in a BOTTLE, Superman?
Forget superheroes, why don’t the many human super-scientists in the DCU cure diseases? From a story perspective, why not have cancer cured in the DCU? All that would mean is that no one ever gets cancer, that doesn’t limit many stories.
>>146560320Dank Nutblaster
That's like asking why cancer doctors aren't solving global warming. Supes can push a meteor away from the earth or punch giant alien robots so he should be doing that while some scientist finding the cure for horrible diseases should be doing that instead of trying to fight darkseid.

What's with DC Supeheroes that make people ask this type stupid questions? "Why doesn’t Superman solve the worlds problems?" "Why Batman doesn't kill The Joker?"You never hear people asking why Tony Stark doesn't end world's hunger.

Why was there one scene in the Avengers where Tony Stark did something to fight climate change, and then nothing ever again in the MCU?
>>146560152Golden age Superman captured Hitler and Stalin. But it makes comics silly to have a hero perf can society because as citizens of an imperfect society, we couldn't relate. Imagine a Superman story where he cures cancer and no one in DC has cancer ever again. What would be the point?

If bad actors keep the food for themselves then Superman should kill them to set an example. Sure, a few dozen people will die. But that's better than letting millions starve.
>>146560152The planet has been 20 years away from being uninhabitable since the 60s. Think about that.
>>146560320>disgusting ballsack loveryeah seems about right
>>146560152It would be easy for superman to fix this while giving agency to the people of earth. He just needs to bring facts to people and show some interest in education and advocacy. He should make it known that he knows the CEOs, where they live, what they say. That would change behavior because a lot of what corporations do is because anyone hardly significant really spells out what's going on because it's complicated, people hardly have the attention span, and free market neoliberalism has us forgetting how common government action is. Nixon made the EPA, now it's seen as a product of commie marxism. Also the threat of super people creates an environment of people less willing to be hands off about things.
>>146567945NTA but he doesn't have to kill anyone. He's powerful enough to do it without hurting anyone. Taking it and giving it to people who need it make hording and securing that food not worth it to begin with. People do things because they're profitable, if Superman just acted like a force of nature, things will change.
>>146560152Man, this authors a tard aren't they?>microplastics in my bloodYou will die due to literally any other reason, microplastics aren't killing you, you're just noticing that they exist.>In 20 blah blah blahlol lmao no STFU>corporate pollution is poisoning the waterMaybe in one specific area of the USA but everywhere else? Nah.
>>146568012That last one is a shitty nitpick because it's likely not a standard you'd be consistent with in most other cases, especially if you think something even smaller than pollution ruining water. You had to narrow it down to just America thinking there's only Flint.
>>146560369I hate how the cartoon movie adaptation ruined this moment
>>146568008If there's a functional legal system then you use that. But when it comes to these things you have to be clear that you're not playing games. Men are more scruple towards the ones they respect than the ones they fear.
>>146568048I was just going with what the comic was attacking. I know the some specific areas of the USA has had issues with water quality (note that I am NOT American) but there's a difference between 'this water is shit' (my town qualifies here) and 'this water is undrinkable.'
>>146560320Dank Pussy-Creampie
>>146568071>But when it comes to these things you have to be clear that you're not playing games.He doesn't have to get to that point. If he were batman, maybe, but as superman you can show someone that the amount they spend on defending against you, all the time and effort spent losing more to you, means hording resources is pointless, you do it at a loss. As quick and efficient Superman tracking down CEOs and publicly executing them would be, it's not the smartest way to do it.An informed superman explaining how what he does makes sense while what they do does not and how he doesn't kill, he just corrects their mistake and if they keep dumping resources into trying to stop him, they're retarded, he can have better results. And if that doesn't work, sure kill a few people.
>>146568079The comic is just saying they're polluting the water. They're polluting the ocean too which isn't drinking water but still a problem.
>>146560152Because it's not in his mandate as defender (not Imperator or Great Leader) of the earth. And because Clark Kent isn't some kind of omnidisciplinary polymath who could do that, anymore. Most of the time he's just kinda good with Kryptonian tech due to his birthright. He does his best to do affect lasting change, it just never quite follows through, and it's not like the world can demand more from the man who already gives them his all. And finally, he is far more effective as a symbol and a general protector of the world than he is a specific problem solver.
>>146560152Marxists should be killed, btw.
>>146568195Nixon created the EPA. MSM turned you into a fucking retard.
>>146560369That would make the microplastic problem, worse, LEX.
>>146568213>Nixon created the EPAhe also opened us up to China so not really making the point you think you are
>>146568298What's the problem? Creating the standards that would later have China agreeing that man made climate change is real and gave them an example to follow as they realized they were harming themselves with pollution leading up to that point is a net positive.Also the EPA being so common sense an anti-liberal, anti-marxist made it is the point. Government regulating and keeping businesses in check is common sense; they operate within the guidelines they are given.

Yet another reason I like a toned down superman. power-scalers have ruined so much.Superman The Animated Series goes a perfect job of keeping superman interesting by not making him overpowered. Sure he's fast, but he still has limits and can only perceive things so quickly. He's much stronger than an average person but it still takes considerable effort and time from him to lift incredibly heavy things which makes it all the more impactful when he does. uhh I can't think of a way to wrap up the reply besides saying STAS is amazing.https://youtu.be/hfISyHHocZU

>>146576471>Stuff like Golden Age Superman destroying ghettos so the insurance/city would immediately replace them with new buildings You just made me realise that what was depicted as a heroic act that had to be done by a superhero in the golden age is depicted as the work of an insane murderer like The Riddler in today's corporate superhero stories like The Batman.
>>146576347>hoarding all the wealth without intent to spend or even invest any of it.Can you give any examples? I don't know of any rich people who keep their wealth in cash. It's usually in stocks and land.I don't even disagree that the wealthy should spend more on their communities, I just think the notion that they're hoarding vast quantities of cash money like Scrooge McDuck suggests a very childish idea of how wealth works.
>>146576652NTA but I suppose all the money that's put into art stashed away at airports in foreign countries so that they don't have to pay any taxes on the money would count.

>>146560152>There's microplastic in my blood!No problem I'll just use my xray and laser vision to get rid of it.>corporate pollution is poisoning the water!I've already filtered out all the poison and threw it into the sun.>in 20 years the planet will be unlivableI can move all the people and buildings to one of the millions of habitable planets nearby, it might take a couple minutes though so sorry for the inconvenience.
>>146560956>"Why Batman doesn't kill The Joker?"This is the weirdest one for me. People act like if Batman is the ONLY superhero with a no kill rule.
>>146580487I love that people who hate "post modernism" apply these absurd narratives to everything in such a way that makes them the most postmodern retards in the thread.
>>146560956"DC is about gods pretending to be men, Marvel is about men trying to be gods"That's what the average person thinks.

>>146561901>>146566522He doesn't "give up" he knew ahead of time it was only something he could do for one day. He had to literally plead with congress and plan shit out in advance just to make it possible even for just that one day>>146561881>The most notable difference he has with Batman is that he is willing to kill his enemiesOne of the main differences is that Batman is an emotionally scarred person with a compulsion to fight crime over trauma about his dead parents. It's arguably a mental illness for him. Superman is just a really nice guy trying to do good.There's actually a comic where Superman's powers get transferred over to Batman, and Superman becomes just a regular guy. The end result was that Batman practically went crazy from fighting crime 24/7 to the point he was never allowing himself to rest. He ended up getting pissed off at Superman and yelling at him that the guy didn't deserve his powers. Batman started claimed he himself deserved it.
>>146560404>Forget superheroes, why don’t the many human super-scientists in the DCU cure diseases? From a story perspective, why not have cancer cured in the DCU?Lex Luthor once cured his deathly sick paraplegic sister with an injection just to show that he could. He then immediately injected her a second time to make her sick and paraplegic again.He's that much of a petty asshole.
>>146582201Who's gonna tell him?
>>146582201Superman canonically lives to the year 1,000,000 and becomes a sun god.
>>146582032People choose Batman for that argument because he's the clearest case of how he needs to kill to save people. The Flash gets around not killing his rogues gallery because they're not all insane killers and he can deal with them quite easily, same with Superman who puts his real big threats in the Phantom Zone and deals with the rest in such a way that only property gets destroyed and some people might end up with a broken bone at most. Batman's always only one step ahead of some nutcase killing off a huge chunk of Gotham because he doesn't have the powers of Flash or Superman to keep things safe, he can't even deal with henchmen without giving them brain damage, so him refusing to kill someone like The Joker is obviously retarded. If The Joker was a Superman villain then he wouldn't really be a massive problem and no one would be calling for Superman to kill him. If Spider-Man had to deal with The Joker then everyone would ask why he isn't killing him, same as Batman. The only reason people don't do that with Osbourne is because Osbourne is obsessed with Parker and fucks with him directly, instead of just trying to kill all the redheads in NYC or whatever. It's the same with most of Spider-Man's villains, they're either after Spider-man himself and civilians only risk getting hurt as collateral or they're just straight up bank robbers.
>>146582985>DCOM>CanonKekKryptonians age bro...
>>146576236To be fair, he plan was going perfectly, until Erda (a woman, what a surprise!) had a woman moment, the greatest woman moment in history and thought it was a good idea to send her newborn children into space, exposed to aliens and demons.From that moment everything went to shit.
>>146583462>Kryptonians age bro... So do the Norse gods. They're quite famous for it among pantheons, ageing and dying like any other man if they don't eat their magic apples.
>>146582300nah, I'm on Lex's side, sisters are bitches.
>>146583579>So do the Norse gods.Not in Marvel. Thor is thousands of years old. Ewing even made a point of it in his Thor run. You should read it.
>>146583607>implying he wasn't munching on Idunn's bountiful apples off-panel
>>146579258Which usually takes a cynical view of human nature. Except in certain particular ways. People are usually depicted as flawed, which produces societal incentives that prevent people from having nice things... except when the author's ideology demands that people would do nice things of their own accord.
>>146583723And you're implying that it matters if he was or not.Either way >>146582201 is correct.
>>146561360>>146561997>>146563823The same guy that wrote that comic also wrote and acted in this short. His earlier stuff was better, but really any time his comic strips get long you know they're going to suck.
>>146561537We cannot cure cancer because it's just normal cells that won't stop growing. They are too similar to normal cells, so it is extremely hard to make something that kills only cancer cells. And if a cure did already exist, you would see companies making bank off it rather than keeping it secret. Just look at Ozempic. We found a cure for being fat and it has become an extremely profitable drug.
>>146580487I hate it too but what the fuck is wrong with your brain?>>146582068Sure, just throw that term around at anyone too.
>>146584626Hell this was a huge deal in the Death of Captain Marvel book. All the races in space basically got together and said yeah this shit is bad.
>>146582300I’m aware, but there are plenty of super-scientists in the DCU. They should’ve cured *something* that exists in the real-world. Would it kill DC to have one or two big diseases cured in their fictional universe? It’s not hard.
>>146587592What if you let DCU scientists cure all sexual diseases? Just have them casually mention it a few times, saying a few heroes helped them, and then someone can post one of the panels whenever someone question why heroes don’t cure anything.
>>146587736>DC>admitting that people in their universe has sex that could lead to stds lollmao
>>146584626Technically not being fat reduces your risk for cancer so we should all take it.t. Me the Ozempic demon
>>146586289Some people are more postmodern than others. Voting for a known liar and conman who is a former show business guy who motorboated his lawyer in drag and then later endlessly claimed elections were rigged even when he won and that news was fake and started a social media called Truth is about as postmodern as you can get. That's not a good or bad thing, it's just ironic that that is choice of people bitching about postmodern shit. It shows that saying "postmodern" is just a way to avoid being specific about who you don't like and why.
>>146584626>And if a cure did already exist, you would see companies making bank off it rather than keeping it secret.>cancer drug sales currently at about $150 billion per year
>>146562456And your source on that is...?
>>146561901This and that one Batman comic were kino.
>>146563034I like that they drew him like Reeves.
>>146588814but that's not how George Reeves looked
>>146587961But at least they would’ve cured it.
>>146581575This image is literally that Batman comic.
>>146589186You know damn well I meant Christopher.
>>146589742Not Keanu?
>>146589742Just as Spider-Man needs his hyphen Christopher Reeve abhors the S.
>>146589933>Christopher Reeve abhors the S. no I think he really loved wearing the S, actually
>>146589704Sure, if you ignore the punchline
