Why do midwits like the evil Superman trope so much?
>>220533715It has the same cultural footprint as your sisters cunt
>>220533715Power fantasy self-insert with no moral codeIt's like the people who really love characters like The Punisher who's just inverse Batman
>>220533715Plucky heroes taking on somthing thats nigh invulnerable and all powerful is always interesting
>>220533715You tell me
>>220533760Then why does The Goys suck dick if it’s “always interesting”? And why do people care more about Homelander than the plucky heroes that are supposedly relatable?
>>220533780My IQ is 180 and the only Superman I like is the lawful good Jesus-like figure Superman
>>220533756I don’t think you know what ”inverse” means.
>>220533810I do. I just like how it sounds.Inversseee...
>>220533715Because in the beginning, he was not evil. He was selfish, lazy and narcisstic.Then he became the writer's mouthpiece and tool for a metaphor so he got reduced into something far more polarized, but the actor stayed and nailed the character so the gravitas was still there.
>>220533829He killed a little kid and his dad in the first episode. I agree they went full retard with the anti trump stuff but he was always a bad guy.
>>220533873Because the company told him to...? It was to keep the Compound a secret right?He wasn't a "bad guy" he was a lapdog, one of the pillars of his arc is that he becomes his own person and not a product.Even in the plane scene you can side with him. Stop the plane? He cant stop the plane. Carry people to safety? Okay but who's gonna choose who stays and who dies? I would not want to be responsible of that. It's the Trolley Problem and Homelander was in the middle of it.t. screenwriter
>>220533911Maaaan the screens you have written must be some garbage
>>220533911Even if he was just "following orders" his actions were evil. And he even enjoyed it, so the very first episode shows Homelander is indeed a villain
>>220533715The majority of people now days are psychopaths, and that's exactly how they'd indulge themselves with that power.
>>220533986He was a villain, but saying he is 'evil' in season 1 already is completely tone-deaf and not understanding his character or arc. (Tho i do not think his arc was good or went into right direction).Is killing bad? Yes. Was he manipulated into it? Yes.
>>220534053Homelander salutes the kid seconds before lasering the whole planeThat's evil as fuck.
>>220533745lmfao
>>220533715Because people have been so irony poisoned and flooded with edgy garbage where the hero is just as much of a piece of shit as the villain that a story where somebody displays actually heroic traits without it being subverted is seen as “gay” or “unrealistic”.
>>220534030Exactly. Monstrous media is being made and consoomed by a monstrous public.
>>220533715cause the performance is, like, really good
>>220533911>t. screenwriterYou're a faggot and a retard who's too stupid to even understand the plane scene. No wonder movies and shows are generally so terrible these days
>>220534180We need honesty backWe need actual heroes back
>>220533756In the movies Batman and Punisher are pretty much the exact same thing: the disturbed dark violent vigilante style, except Batman is much more deranged. Punisher is pretty normal by comparison. They both have similar kill counts in their movies but Batman is much more dark and disturbedThose two would be in inverse of someone wholesome like Superman who doesnt have high kill counts in all his movies As for Homelander, he's not comparable to any of those. Homelander would be the inverse of Superman. Superman was a well raised sane adult whereas Homelander never progressed past the level of a 3 year old.
>>220534484It's funny how people who say this stuff are the most amoral and depraved ones.>"We need clean and beautiful entertainment back. Enough with this ugly and morally muddled, cynical trash. Lord of the Rings, now that was good.">proceeds to wish for a race war>masturbates to drawings of children>laughs about gore since the person dying is non-white
>>220533715Ask the comic writers. Ultraman, Zod, Superman after red kryptonite, Justice Lord Superman, Cyborg Superman, Superboy, they've done this shit to death decades before Homelander existed.
>>220534591Not everyone is a sadist and these aren’t the same people.
>>220533715Maybe they are gay just Anthony Star.
>>220533745op btfo
>>220533911>He cant stop the planeHe can fly and he's got Superman strength. Saving the plane would be as easy as your or I saving a model airplane going through the air that we could reach with our hands. Granted it would take some dexterity and "ball skills" but these guys are superheros>Even in the plane scene you can side with himLet's pretend he can't stop the plane. He doesn't even try. His first instinct is to be a chicken shit. Then right after he brings himself to fake tears in the interview with the press, saying he let all those people die just because he wants to be in the military https://youtube.com/shorts/b1I4UZhCEQY>>220533829>He wasn't a "bad guy" he was a lapdog, one of the pillars of his arc is that he becomes his own person and not a product.Wolverine has the classic distrust of authority, distrust of people in general, it's almost nauseating how over the top he is with it. You're a deranged child like Homelander you can blame it on others or you can grow the fuck up. If he's incapable of growing up then just go the Wolverine route. Or the route of John from Watchman who went through the experience Homelander feared: having the public turn on him for not being a hero (with John it was them accusing him of giving his ex cancer). But even if that didn't happen to John, he was already done with humanity and their trivial problems and retreated in solitude to Mars to work on things beyond our understanding. Bottom line is Homelander is a deranged child. There is no character arc. That's it
>>220535537I control F'd the wrong "arc" with >220533829Meant this lunatic:>>220534053>He was a villain, but saying he is 'evil' in season 1 already is completely tone-deaf and not understanding his character or arc. (Tho i do not think his arc was good or went into right direction).Is killing bad? Yes. Was he manipulated into it? Yes.
>>220535537>Saving the plane would be as easy as your or I saving a model airplane going through the air that we could reach with our hands.Nigger do you not have even rudimentary understanding of physics? Do you not know the square cube law and understand its various implications? How speed is directly related to energy? How planes are specifically designed to be only as durable as their normal operation requires them to be? Try saving that model plane going at the speed of sound with a needle and see how it works out.
>>220533715because it's the only way it can be interesting
>>220535675>Try saving that model plane going at the speed of sound with a needleOr I could simply use my hands and do so easily. Don't let physics scare you so much. The reason you suck at sports and throw like a girl is and are afraid to drive a car is because you're too scared of physics
>>220533715We just like looking at a white man in charge of things since that's become a fantasy compared to reality
>>220535690Heh. I was terrified the first time I rode a bike. Stayed on training wheels then my Dad took them off and pushed me down the street. Was terrifying but fortunately I didn't spazz out like Homelander and I rode off on my bike just fine, despite going through intense fear and doubt that would have a lot of people spazz out. Ever since then I've been more on the fearless side with all things physics when someone's life is on the line>>220535675The fact that Homelander can fly defies physics so crying about physics is retarded.
>>220535853>The fact that Homelander can fly defies physics so crying about physics is retarded.
Homelander didn't save the plane due to his fear of failure and the public turning on him not because he couldn't
>>220535949I'm thinking propulsion systems. Both the plane and Homelander have propulsion systems
>>220535956He couldn't save the plane. What he could do is save a few people in the time left for it to crash, which queen suggested, and that is what he didn't do out of fear of bad optics.
>>220535978It isn't hard to handwave levitation away with your chosen flavor of waves(pun intended) but a human trying to pick up a plane is equivalent to trying to pick up a huge ass steak with a needle. The surface ratio is too high to support the weight, the plane would simply go through homelander, regardless of how much force he can generate.
>>220533715because they had 100 years of superman, they just wanted something different. next question, retard nigger faggot gaylord.
Elon Musk found scientists that can make a rocket return to earth and land itself. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. It defies physics
>>220533745bodied
>>220536019Your approach is all wrong. You don't try to go through the plane but with the plane. Just glide with it around the earth as long as it takes for your partner to get everyone out. But even if you wanted to land the plane, the plane lands on 3 needle points (3 wheels) and I've seen planes just land on one wheel and I've seen planes land on now wheels. Would be easy for Homelander and his Sidekick to land that thing, especially in a movie
>>220535979Homelander has Superspeed he could've saved every passenger if he wanted to
>>220536110>You don't try to go through the plane but with the planeThe plane is trying to get through you, because it's falling. You could try to move in the same direction with the same speed and accelaration as gravity, but you couldn't balance it out this finely. If a steak is falling, you're not gonna manage moving the needle down just right so it only touches the steak without going through.>>220536138Even assuming he could reach the speed required to transport every single person on the plane in the short time left, he'd have to limit his speed so the person he's carrying isn't dead. He'd have to slow down for the person not to experience too many Gs.
>>220533715Because they can't believe that someone with power can be good. They are powerless and wretched souls and can't imagine someone better than them in every possible way. It's a form of godless immorality, and excuse to be shitty and pathetic.
>>220536201>It's a form of godless immoralitySlave morality and ressentiment are inherent to most modern religions. The weak inverting morality to glorify their weakness and demonize power they don't have is as old as humanity is.
>>220536201t. cuck
>>220536198>The plane is trying to get through you,Again, your approach is all wrong. You don't try to go through the plane but with the plane. What do you think is propelling the plane through the sky? Magic? No it's a fucking propulsion system. They don't angle it to go through the plane but with the planeAgain, if you are Homelander:Just glide with it around the earth as long as it takes for your partner to get everyone outWhy is this so difficult for you?
>>220533715because it's quite possible if not probable that Superman became evil, if the kents didn't raise him well
why do midwits dickride a jewish skinwalking fantasy
>>220536110>the plane lands on 3 needle points (3 wheels)Think of the incredible mass & energy of a plane upon landing. And all they have to support that is: hydraulic piston shock absorbers, very well made rubber tires, >Within a fraction of a second, the tire must accelerate from rest to match the aircraft's ground speed.a braking system absorbing a shit ton of energy, and the geometry of load management they use (tricycle system, weight centered in back wheels, center of gravity angled in the correct range when you land)It's amazing all of this works every time you take a plane. Might add this to another excuse on why I hate to fly
>>220533715because Superman is boring as hell
In hs most of the Superman fans were bullies. And they werem't even aware of Superdickery, they only knew good guy Superman Reeves.I guess it's a power fantasy to them? o Evil Supes is what they would do with the power?
>>220533745Holy shit, legendary post.
>>220533804>do people care more about HomelanderHate to break it to you, but Homelander is a faggot. And only similar faggots actually care about him. These and roasties.True chads weep over Kripke massacring our Soldier Boy
>>220536698>a braking system absorbing a shit ton of energyThey rarely use the brakes when landing, the use air brakes, spoilers and engine reverse trust for slowing down. Brakes are used mostly when taxiing
>>220533829>He was selfish, lazy and narcisstic>He was not evil.I'd argue that people like that are actually, primordially evil.
>>220535675>do you not have even rudimentary understanding of physics?American schools are only good for teaching how to shoot your peers and creampie your cunt of a teacher.
>>220535537>I saving a model airplane going through the air You are actually retarded.
>>220533715Why do dimwits get offended by it?
>>220536269>Just glide with it around the earth >what is mass
>>220533715Absolute power corrupts
>>220533804>Then why does The Goys suck dick if it’s “always interesting”?Jews
>>220533715>dude what if, superman but le evil
>>220533715Because it's scary. I think it's a testament to superman's character and shows that his greatest superpower his is good nature.
>>220533745>>220534153>>220535223>>220536072>>220537488Imagine simping for the goys
https://youtu.be/9tU0vG9UJ2I?si=9eANk8F4s_GmqISnLive action Homelander is a bitch that did not even try to save the plane. Comic book Homelander was a moron but he tried. He just fucked everything up as you'd imagine.
>>220537995Evil superman existed long before the boys you fucking idiot
>>220534617>SuperboyTurning Superboy into a nasty POS so he could be ground underfoot by the current cool kids was unforgivable.The only thing more noble than goody two-shoes Superman was his younger classic self.
>>220537779Seems like a fucked up childhood corrupts is the actual message
>>220534617>ZodShame how DC doesn't use him that much. Even that recent Animated Superman show could introduce a younger version of Zod. Sort of a Rotten Spoiled Prince who is more demeaning tha sadistic. Plus has enough self angandisement to say "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD" With no hint of irony.
>>220533745Fucking kek.
>>220534030It does seem most media is just designed to prompt daydreams in its viewers rather than entertain.
>>220534617General Zod is a good character
because it's cinema
>>220533809My IQ is 181 and I prefer the gray, conflicted Superman.
>>220533715The Boys is slop for teenagers
>>220536219If by "slave mortality" you're trying to shit on christianity, you're wrongGod is all powerful and benevolent. He loves everyone
>>220533715Unironically the common white people fantasy is to go crazy and kill people (meanwhile browns want to be goku)
>>220534719No. They’re the same people
>>220538047Comic Homelander only intentionally killed people 2 times in the entire comic. Every other instance was just him being reckless
>>220533715Would the boys have been better with analog horror framing?https://youtu.be/mtN8GyDrhlo
Who cares. This slop will be forgotten a day after its finale. Thank god. Gayest show on TV
>>220533745sent the amazon marketeer flying
>>220542647I read the comic after watching the show and it's such a weird contrastThat Homelander doesn't sperg out and start murdering people until the final 24 hours of his lifeThat there were previous incidents where people died on his watch but he was 100% trying his best to save them, he's just a moronOf course the very first thing he does on panel is fuck Starlight in the mouth, and we're not supposed to view him THAT unsympathetically after that (she asks "Are you going to rape me?" and he tells her she's free to leave lol)
>>220533715it's heccin based kino!
>>220543838>That there were previous incidents where people died on his watch but he was 100% trying his best to save them, he's just a moronHe blows up a plane during that whole orgy island event just to prove to himself that he "can do anything". "Anything" including having sex with a man without that being "gay", incidentally.He also murders a whole family, after flying away carrying them in a car that they won in some kind of contest, by tossing them into the ocean. Why? No reason.
>>220543923>No reasonHe's the only one allowed in the sky
>>220543952You think that family could have saved themselves if one of them caught on at what he was trying to get at and addressed Homelander as god or something?
>>220536269This midwit thinks if there has to be, and if there is an ultimate optimal 'true answer' the characters should firstly be on par and execute it.This is completely off the point of any story, its not even critique or anyway a clever take to "one up" the characters. You do not understand what a story is. Characters do get pushed into situations that are hard, or in this case: impossible (that's why its literally Trolley Problem), where there is only wrong or right answers.You're trying to optimize characters out of the story.t. screenwriter
>>220543923>He blows up a plane during that whole orgy island event just to prove to himself that he "can do anything".That was also during his final spiralIn a very short span of time, he destroys the airliner, conspires with Oh Father, murders Maeve, skull fucks the President and gets killed by Black Noir> "Anything" including having sex with a man without that being "gay", incidentally.Now they do say he does that every year lol
