Whats so controversial about heroes actually going at the root of the problem in society and fixing it by any means necessary?

Superheroes aren't supposed to fix problems because that would actually progress the story. Superheroes are supposed to maintain the status quo forever.

There isn't in the sense that fans don't actually care. It's mainly a writing problem because comic characters are supposed to be eternal stories and when you have Superman just solve all crime ever then...well what do you then as a writer for like Batman? It's so much easier and honestly just better for both reader and writer a like if you keep things more or less where they are IRL.

Because it’s anti liberty and justice.

Following the rules and respecting the freedoms and wishes of others seems like a barrier but becoming a dictator and trampling everyone’s rights is worse than doing nothing at all.

Nothing. Nothing has ever gone wrong when an unelected, totally unaccountable party uses pure raw power to seize control of society and forces people to behave in their preferred way. It's a foolproof plan. No downsides whatsoever.

Setting everything else aside, it assumes that they know the root of the problem and how to fix it.
Think about all the times a hero has fucked up and say, got into a pointless fight with another hero. Now imagine that level of rigor being applied to geopolitics, natural disasters, or societal ills.
When it's a hero fight, they can shake hands and make up. That isn't an option when you topple a nation because you heard they're the bad guys or try to solve global warming by some superhuman feat.

I'm Jackson the Palestinians help the other Arab countries take more land from Jewish people than the combined area of Israel and Palestine also most of the Palestinians decide to stay at didn't get the land confiscated or anything because they didn't leave for invading Army to commit ethnic cleansing on the new country.

Killing Billy was stupid. It was a stupid idea to act like this is a reasonable outcome from the perfectly justified killing of the Joker.

I really don't think Superman works anymore. He is objectively better than most superheroes in most situations but what does he symbolize? A previous anon was right about how he symbolizes hope being bullshit. He also sucks as a villain. All of the "evil Superman" shit is getting old. Now they are going full circle trying to push the whole "Kryptonians are Saiyans" shit which makes more sense but it is also lame.

I would love for peace with Israel to happen I just believe it's the Palestinians who demand to be paid to even negotiate but then close their ears and say la la the moment Hamas delivered at least starts acting to stop negotiations are the problem.

Asking what's the point of there was no peace in the Middle East not taking people's land and quite frankly you don't have to be Jewish to see the hypocrisy in Palestinians and other Arab Muslims took more land from Jewish citizens who lived there for Generations than the entire state of Israel and Palestine combined times 4 and thinking the problem is just Israel took Palestinian land. And saying only is we also give up anything including most of their country to the people who forced most of their population Jews from Arab countries to come to Israel as refugees in the first place. But the main point is you certain point Israel every time two countries that hate Israel in the Middle East go to war because Israel's not some sort of evil organization who just want people at War when it's always an excuse in the Middle East to attack it.

>Whats so controversial about heroes actually going at the root of the problem in society and fixing it by any means necessary?
First of all the obvious "All humans are fallible" shtick, "Any means necessary" usually means unsavory acts that will have unintended consequences, it might create more problems that fix them, which is very likely if its just one guy doing it all without asking
Second of all, there are systems in place to get things done, by jumping over everyone's head to get things done (Which is criminal) they're saying that they don't have to obey the majority rule or society
And finally, the main reason why its touted as immoral is: because the powers that be would shit bricks if the rest of the sheeple realized they can take away power from them at any time, because ultimately any real power a regular human can have is how many people like them and are willing to obey them, they're not superhuman, just about anyone could pull out a gun and kill them
So basically, they don't want them getting any ideas
>>
>>150121935
When Jewish people became refugees in the Arab world Israel just for being Jewish and losing their citizenship for Israel welcome them with open arms which the UN didn't even call them refugees when Palestinian became refugees because they leave for an invasion and I didn't work out that Israel was in destroyed the you and called them refugees yay the Middle East the black check and now there's more Palestinian refugees by multiple times then they started with and people are getting adopted into being refugees that doesn't mean Muslims aren't necessarily human I'm not that guy but Jews do care about other people it seems more than Global Jihad against its enemies unlike the Muslim world who seems to care more about destroying Israel than taking care of the Palestinians they are supposedly doing any of this for.

He said ALL other world leaders dude, not just those two pussies. I'm not dumb enough to think those below them won't immediantly try to take power with them out of the picture. Some would likely full toletarian and capitalize on the deaths.

After that, it's kind of a "heads or tails" on if we get that pic related (either from control being taken from the power vacuum, or rebellion against control of the successors)-depends on numerous variables.

The problem with Injustice is that it starts with the biggest piece of nonsense that superheroes have: ‘if you kill, you have crossed a line from which there is no return.’ Do you seriously believe that if a sniper had killed Hitler, he would start killing anyone who breaks the law?

>>150122715
The lesson is a good one. “Can one man really really make god’s decisions?” isn’t anything new, but “what if this man was a superhero?”

Also superheroes are trapped in a forever status quo. The idea of killing is supposed to break that status quo (not that anyone stays dead)
It also transformers a typically all ages hero into someone more “adult”


Really this kind of narrative is not one for superheroes to talk about because their nature of being status quo focused and that its just tacky
It’s like asking why can’t there be an episode where tom eats jerry at the end of an episode

it's actually the other way around. peace is the natural law of the universe. everything likes being at peace, or resetting itself to peace. even the guys you might say are violent hedonists are just trying to come to their own state of peace. hungry? you eat, then you're back at a peaceful state. it's an urge, your drive to satisfy yourself, and when you're satisfied, you're at peace. that's the actual natural law. even the release of dopamine in your head is centered on a system of balance and imbalance, what's needed to bring things to their "peaceful" state is just different

First post, best post.

>>150121122
To go into more detail, this approach raises several issues that cape comics generally don't want to deal with.

The most obvious problem is that heroes actually fixing problems, especially heroes as powerful as Superman who could actually fix these problems means that there's an actual end-point to their crusade, rather than just endlessly fighting the same battles against the same villains. This is anathema to Big Two capeslop (outside of things like what-ifs and other non-canon stories) which are entirely based on the idea of stories being "endless." This is also why someone like The Punisher IS allowed to permanently kill his villains: Since he lacks the power and influence to make any real change, his crusade is endless by definition no matter what he does. There will always be more killers and gangsters to indescriminately mow down, so he doesn't need to do anything else.
>>
>>150125216
But when a demographic different than yours does it you will go on a rant of how they’re a bunch of barbaric beasts and how the demographic you belong to are more advanced and civilized.
>>
>>150125291
Secondary to this is that heroes tackling "real" issues is that it begs too many questions. If Superman can just beat countries he doesn't like into submission, why focus only on Israel? Why not work on any of the other wartorn countries and bloodthirsty governments that our news cycle just isn't as concerned about? And if he already decided that he's a higher authority than any national government, what's stopping him from removing any politicians that he deems dangerous or destructive? And what about other political problems, like corruption, pollution, the exploitation of the working class? Superman could "realistically" fix those, but writers are going to be caught between a rock and a hard place where either you do all of those things and make it a boring story about real world politics, or you don't do those things and make Superman look like arbitrary and cherry-picking bully instead of someone actually interested in improving the world. This is why Superman is usually portrayed as apolitical, or at least unwilling to directly engage in political matters as Superman, and why a comic like Injustice CAN do things like this because it's not at all concerned with Superman being heroic.
>>
Superman is supposed to have a "my superiority doesn't put me above humanity" worldview. His influence extends to the limit of making humanity as best as it can be in his own mind. If he just grabs the steering wheel because he's bigger and stronger than everyone that would violate his creed and what he believes his place is as an outsider on a planet not of his own but one that grants him abilities greater than those who inhabit it.

But you already knew this.

it's not. violence is a tool, but the nature of man is still peace like all others. even violence is nothing more than a tool for a man's peace. if a man had the urge to kill, they wouldn't be at peace. then, when they kill, they'd be at peace. violence isn't the way of mankind. it's peace. the desire for inner peace is what urged the man to use violence as a tool, but violence is just a tool. your image literally goes with my point. violence has, historically, been used as a tool. but never as the reason. thinking violence is the reason or the "nature of mankind" is for midwits and on the same level as saying "humans are the real monsters"

>>
If aliens invaded and threatened the whole planet, would the nations of the world stop warring with each other and fight the larger threat? Most say probably.

Seems like it would be the case with superhumans. Not necessarily fight them, but in the context of OP's question, you have a larger being on the food chain forcing you to play nice.

A lot of the reasons for war are pretty stupid, frankly. If you get power, the lust for more is always a fool's quest. If a certain German leader had been satisfied ruling his nation instead of literally trying to create evolution, he'd probably would have enjoyed many decades of a North Korea-esque like state.

Same reason communism doesn't work: because the people in charge always take a little extra and inevitably do things their way instead of the popular agreed upon way.

I mean, would Superman get so corrupted that jaywalking or cutting in line would require an ass beating? You'd think not, and yet that's how it always ends up.

Batman is the Dark Knight because someone who chooses to assault or rob someone should think twice because it might end up with them getting an ass beating. And yet robberies are still rampant in Gotham. The Death Penalty or Life in a concrete square doesn't seem to deter criminals in real life. I guess it's just the reality of the cycle of life. Do we need harsher penalties? A lot of petty criminals say they're back on the streets that same day, so perhaps.

Why does this generation have so much difficulty understanding that Superhero comics aren't meant to be realistic.

Nobody in real life would hold Superman at fault for putting repeat offense murderous psychopaths who were being protected by the government in super max prisons and maybe killing them. Arkham Asylum would absolutely not be allowed to exist in real life. The Joker and Dr Pyg would have been sentenced to Death.

Nobody in real life would object to Superman ending wars that are killing thousands or even millions.

Nobody in real life would object to Superman deposing brutal, violent, murderous dictators. Imagine being an evil dictator who takes away everyone's rights, and then telling Superman he has no right to depose them.

The argument made by The Flash/Mr Terriffic about killing smokers or whatever was a huge strawman and had no legs to stand on. That Scientist instantly jumping to "what gives you the right?!" when Superman said the Arkham inmates are being moved somewhere they can't escape wouldn't happen unless the writer was strawmanning again. That Scientist would instead go "Fucking finally. I'm sick of all these breakouts where 1/4 of the Arkham staff gets murdered every week."

Fuck this stupid strawman story.

You assume the problem with communism is the people at the top stealing (something that happens in capitalism already and here we are fine), and not that it allows the people at the bottom to never need to bother and thus never produce.

For example, I work in ER and my country has some socialist policies. As in, healthcare is free, "free" because every worker gets 120-300 removed from their paycheck so that it's free.
I have 3 regulars at the hospital that come every single day. Because it's "free". And they have nothing. They just show up to pass the time. Most of the time they don't even go through triage, they just pass the time in the waiting room after requesting admittance.
However, it costs $200 to the taxpayers every time those sandbags want to see the doctor for no reason.
>A-Anon, it's just 3 people...
Those are the regulars lol. Of all the people that come to the ER because it's "free", I'd say not even 5% actually needed to. Every day, out of 600 people that come to the ER in this hospital, I'd say only 4-5 actually had to. Faintings, car accidents, allergic reactions. But, holy shit, the remaining 495 are "uhh I woke up and my shoulder hurts."
Off to the ER then! 200 bucks off the taxpayers! Never ever consider you slept on that shoulder!
That's the real reason communism failed. The state cannot sustain so much retardation. Heck, we're still borrowing money from Germany. It literally can't.

That's a function of the hospital billing the taxpayers $200 every time those people show up, not an inherent flaw of socialism. Those people did not waste $200 of materials, nor did they necessitate extra staff to be dealt with. They were just vaguely in the way.

Newsflash, shitbag. I live in freedomland and hospitals here ALSO gouge everyone they can for nonsense billing including taxpayers. But unlike you, I have to live with an active awareness of and fear of healthcare costs. I doubt you're terrified of the idea of getting hauled off in an ambulance or needing an x-ray. So eat a dick and choke on it.

Other than the obvious "if superheroes actually permanently fixed something in a snap, the story would be shit", the biggest thing is is that it doesn't matter if the superhero is correct or not, whatever they say goes. Plus most things in life aren't "pure evil" vs "pure good", so even if they ARE correct, there's going to be a sizable number of people saying "what the fuck, what about us?" or something like that.

Topical examples IRL:
A. SuperGuy stops the fighting in Gaza and now Israel's buttmad they don't get the whole landmass and a good chunk of global media begins Lex Luthor-tier petty fussing over SuperGuy, nitpicking the hell out of him, making movies about mankind fighting against superhero-like villains, etc. and eventually SuperGuy is labeled as a racist and probably Hitler. SuperGuy is confused
B. SuperGuy nicely escorts everyone out of Gaza (against their will, probably) then gives Gaza to Israel, and now Israel just fucks off to attack other Palestinians instead while the entire ME and any Christian with an IQ above 50 is pissed. "Internet extremism" goes on the rise as more average joes realize the situation's bullshit, but it's quickly shoved into various internet containment holes like /pol/ and infinite-kun's bunkers, while the media either ignores the complaints, memoryholes it, or spins it as racism somehow.
C. SuperGuy forcibly makes Jerusalem a neutral zone where both Islam and Judaism can coexist. Less than a decade later, everyone Islamic is out of Jerusalem because ??? and nobody notices, while Gaza disappears from maps.

>a huge number of comics+media made the last 15-20 years have entirely been about political shit, parodying political shit, outright demonizing various politicians specifically, having superheroes be mouthpieces for whatever shit the writers believe in, changing races/sexualities of basically everyone that isn't a villain, nepotism-ing shit artists into powerful positions in the company due to their sexuality/race, making strong men feminine/weak, strawmanning people all the time in all the comics, going on social media rants about this or that, and so on
Yeah. Sucks. I know there was a time when superheroes were being used for war propaganda, but there was a time after that where it was mostly about fighting unknown evils from space or fighting some supervillain that wants to rule the universe or something; now it's like they can't go five seconds without making a villain quote something Turmp said nearly word for word, usually some variation of "Make [location] Great Again", like I'll hear sometimes in some cartoons.

You always make this typical talking points & excuses that's never true. If you wanted the hostages back then you would have done that long ago & leave Gaza. But you didn't & just kill people. All this is is just excuses with delusional thinking & typical victim complex. All the videos coming out from Israel is you guys just being Nazis

America should just cut you guys off & not be sucked into your victim complex bullshit while you kidnapping & raping our kids, send our soldiers to die, & steal our money while you house fascists & pedos & satanist shit.

We see what you all are & how much control you have over our freedoms, & your time will soon be upon you when America is free from your poison. Go be Nazis. America will stand strong once more

You say I make the same argument but take one typically makes the same argument when they face the same accusation and no counter argument just because it's a similar response doesn't mean you should see it as less validated you should see it as the typical response and therefore some people actually believe in and not an excuse but an explanation or rebattle. Just because people are not saying yes yes you speak truth doesn't mean that the Lying or make an excuses to you it means they're trying to have an actual debate. Also I'm not Israeli or Jewish I'm Canadian. You need to stop seeing anyone who disagrees with you about Israel of having to be some it's really due who doesn't even believe what they're talking about or rebutton your arguments with, The leads in the hostages are not bad got one Hamas is demands are too high when they never said he having any of those hostages in the first place and two they want them to have more weapons and money from Iran and brag about it to the International Community doesn't make it good makes them horrible people but it doesn't make Israel evil for not having hostages back also Hamas is the one who kidnap and raped children . Also anyone can make a video with Pacific editing and such in order to make a video that says anything just cuz you seen some videos that said something doesn't mean it's even in that conflict. Not to mention the Palestinians in World War ii. team up with the ritual Nazis and don't regard it as a mistake even with today. I don't even know where you got any of that for the second paragraph America has never went to war for Israel and no going to war after 9/11 does not count in any way.Oh wait now you're talking about Satanist yeah your schizophrenic auntie. .

The whole crux of Nazi ideology was conquering and turning the slavic nations to the east into farming colonies to support the industries of Germany. The war with the Soviets was inevitable regardless of how many concessions Britain and France gave tô the germans. But even if Hitler stopped after the Munich agreement his retarded economic policies would have quickly bankrupt the country, and this probably results in either the lesa extreme elements of the party removing him from office and reorienting the country towards the west or an outright bolshevik revolution.

With great power comes great responsibility. If Superman wants to pretend to be human so badly he should be willing to actually engage with humanity in a meaningful way. The least he could do is disarm Israel of their nuclear weapons so they can no longer terrorize it's neighbors with threat of the Samson Option. Or use his powers to remove their corruptive influences on other countries. Him and other heroes have been willing to interfere with cartoonishly evil people before after all. He could even work with proven good guy nations who have the will but not the power or security to help facilitate all this.

Meme answer:
status quo.


Real answer: Noo individual should wield the power to be the judge, jury and executioner of what's right and wrong, because morality is relative, and individual judgement can be flawed.

Let's just look at the current political climate.

>Imagine if those in power decide, that it is inherently evil and immoral to even question a trans person's identity, and therefore they should be allowed to use any means necessary to "fix" the problematic elements of sciety. You don't have to imagine, because that is exactly what the UK government is doing, while actual imigrant childrape gangs go unpunished, because they deem it racist to even adress the problem.

>Another example is, the USA. Right now they are rounding up people they assume are illegal imigrants and deport them to el salvadore without due process, because those in power deem it a moral act. While protecting your citizens against foreign harms is indeed a government's duty, more and more cases happen, where they wrongly round up second and third generation descendants of LEGAL immgrants with no criminal history whatsoever, just because they are brown or have spanish names.
>>
>>150125216
Violence should never be the *first* answer. But the reality is that, unfortunately, there are times when it comes down to that, namely when your opposition is a band of psychotic barbarians. However, I'm also of the attitude that if violence is necessary, you should not half ass it. End it quickly and effectively, and take every measure necessary to ensure that the enemy isn't capable of continuing to be a problem.
>>
>>150133083
I think it's more about the fact that no individual should hold all the power (like I expressed 1 comment above yours) but honestly, I think this interpretation works too.

Well a major problem with approaching storytelling like this is that a Sup(or any made up fictional OC) coming in and fixing the worlds problems will always come off as bullshit to the audience. Reasons for that include the obvious no conflict equals no story, but having a fiction character solve all the worlds problems and overcome all the political bullshit will just piss off the viewer because there is no real life equivalent to do so, we as regular people gotta overcome the struggles that we face and have that be reflected in our history.
Like forget Supes for a sec, if I gave you a script for a film where my original OC made a bill that would be signed into law solving all of our real(or real life equivalent) and then the day is saved, youd toss that shit in my face. Thats why you can see Supes be put in historical set pieces and helping solve those problems, like them being part of WW1 or WW2, cause we know how that played out so we can incorporate those characters and see how they contributed to that cause the actual events are set in stone they just gotta join the ride, but having fictional characters solve all our real world problems is the equivalent to John Lenon's "Imagine" song, just surface level bullshit.
I like how James Gunn approached this in the new film though, Superman isnt this guy who can solve all our problems, but he still wants to be part of the effort. In that way he has like tunnel vision like any regular guy would, he goes to help not Palestine but doesnt consider X Y or Z, and Louis would help out by exposing Luther Corp helping the cause. He gets the ball rolling but it cant just be him.

Because it's stupid as shit. Hamas is literally a million religious extremists. They won't stop just because their "leader" is forced to stop. Superman would have to subdue/kill all of them to stop it.
Israel is also somewhat extreme, though not in the same way. If Superman were to tell them to stop, Israel could argue that as a nation they are operating within their own sovereignty in order to protect their border. And whatever your opinion might be on whether Israel is justified or not, if Superman were to force bennyboy to surrender, then that would be really bad. That would make Superman an enemy of Israel. He would be a national criminal. And also an international criminal.

Peace by force only lasts as long as those dealing force are around, those forced into peace will go back to their age old bullshit the moment superman and the other heroes die/lose interest.
look at the middle east the moment america left for a perfect example.

Also if superheroes truly solved all issues, their world would very quickly change from the one we ourselves see. It also would grow increasingly harder to invest in a utopian setting with no conflict, which heroes solving by force would inevitably achieve.
