Are we ready for 10 more years of dark, edgy, and EVIL Superman kino, /co/?

Gunn better make that Brightburn sequel now that he's free
>>
You mean the only thing more boring than Gunn's heckin punk rock hopecore bullshit?

You do realize that Superman's always pushed into either being a placid cuckold or a hedonistic psychopath is because they're terrified of giving people a role model who's both uplifting and actually serious, right?

They need to give him as many flaws as possible to make sure no one can 100% get behind him and avoid people copying his best traits.

This is what happens why you keep asking why heroes don't solve the energy crisis by turning a giant turbine.

Being born with more power than everyone, which he uses to enforce Jewish Law on America? Inspiring.

You mean what Snyder wanted him to be?

do you mean smug and cartoonish? this isn't the 1930s where beating up gangsters is something i can relate to

I dislike Edgy-Man but I don't like Wholesome-Man either. Both tend to neglect Superman's aspects that make him appealing due to a weird bias against the radio show, the Fleischer cartoons, and the Silver Age comics.

Superman is stoic in the way that Doc Savage or Conan is stoic. Calm and self-controlled, but with a great deal of energy and anger directed towards stopping evil. Superman is quite literally one of the smartest people around, capable of solving BIG fantastic problems off the top of his head. And he has a superpower for just about any situation.

It's why I'm disappointed forever with Zack Snyder's Superman because he understands that Superman is Christlike (much like Doc Savage) but he fell for the "Jesus is Flat" misconception of the character and neglected that Superman is smart, not just strong.

Superman when written well is one of the most compelling characters around, more than other characters that whilst can be written well don't touch on as many facets and can go as many places as his stories can.
The issue is it is so very very very easy to write him badly, and descend straight to hackery.

no man should have all that power

The guy apparently ranted at length n on a podcast about how "demonic" everything is.

Hope you're not an Etrigan, Zatanna, or Constsntine fan!

Explain why MFTL+ Superman with Infinite Strength, Multiversal Level Power, and Genius Level Intellect can't do this without sounding mad.
>>
>>156254544
It's gonna be Gunn's hopecore Superman except even more bland and one dimensional since it won't have anything to say.
>>
>>156258369
It's not a matter of can or can't. It's just fucking retarded. If you're going with this plan, use a superhero that's strong but not Genius Level Intellect - you're wasting the brain here.
