@JoeyWatcherElba @Wentos1 As opposed to what?
English
@Wentos1 @FifteethChance Add to that: he's far from omnipotent
English
Two things can be true:
1. Byrne's reboot was very popular back in the day.
2. It is as distant from the modern character as anything from the 60s, and there is a reason no one talks about anything from it besides the origin.
Longest Arms@LongArmsPerk
The thing you have to understand about Byrne's Superman is that it was massively popular in a way the book hadn't been before, and that's because "Ultra-patriotic drywall dust about how Republican Midwestern values are an objective moral truth" is what sold well at that time.
English
@JoeyWatcherElba @LongArmsPerk @ProfofEvil Maybe-but there is no argument it's remembered, or that basically every beloved Superman story isn't either from before Byrne, or in direct rejection of his vision.
English
English
@Wentos1 He's not, definitely not in the 2025 movie.
That's the only thing he has in common with Byrne's Lex
Technically.
Supergirl is from Krypton as is Krypto, he's nebbish and award personality-wise, and defined by sense of loneliness ect. All that is shit Byrne rejected hard.
English
@FifteethChance Clark is the true identity
Lex is a businessman
The Kents are alive
These are fairly ubiquitous aspects of Superman lore that were introduced in the Byrne reboot. All three were in Gunn's movie last year.
English
@Kvrtz1 I probably should've added "and not without positives" to the first, but eh.

1) At least two named Klingons, 2) who talk to each other, 3) about something other than honor.

Alan Moore meeting Grant Morrison for the first time in 1987

@LongArmsPerk @ProfofEvil I am not a pre-crisis purist, I think it's easy for it to look good, when you only cherry pick the classics and ignore the unambitious beige so much of 70s and early 80s consisted of...
But like, at least there are classics for people to cherry pick.
English
@LongArmsPerk Well, *I* and my fellow weirdoes like @ProfofEvil do, but yeah, it's very clear everyone just thinks it went from Byrne straight to TAS, nobody knows WTF was going on in Superman books from 1986 to 2006, besides the one time he was beaten to death by a grey spikey Hulk.
English
@thefatspaceman Never seen this.
English
@FifteethChance I mean, the original post wasn't about "deconstruction", it was about people who claim "good games" shouldn't take input from other games lol
English
Someone posted the Immortal Thor "we're allowed to make the joke because the joke is on you" panel in the replies, come on it's not that serious
Good Truthboy@thefatspaceman
Feeling very vindicated by Snyder making a joke about this in the MAD Magazine/DC special

Im sorry but ragebait like this kills me because like not even you believe this to any extent 😭😭😭😭😭😭
mrggg@33mrdanger33
@ThatComicFan3 why are there literally zero stories allowed to exist that focus on white men for a change being heroes instead of girlbosses?
English
@thefatspaceman I disagree about "contempt for the medium" meme ever being insightful, it was idiotic dogshit that made everyone a moron.
"How dare this deconstrcution, gasp, deconstruct?"
English
Do think it's neat that comics twitter finally has their own "contempt for the medium" screenshot; an insightful little piece of meta-commentary that immediately lost all specificity or meaning the moment it became a meme

Comic fans refuse to just be wrong about things and it’s soooo embarrassing
bruh@SpanishWho
@Parzival_jay Literally why not say "yeah, its on purpose" rather than trying to gaslight people into believing omni-man has a blue suit
English
@shin_kale_rider Honestly, at this point I only buy them out of principle, those are a a pain to read for me. Buy them, then read that shit online.
English
Unfortunately there are a lot of niggas who talk a big game by buying up omnis and then leave them to collect dust 💔
The Green Kasey 🎃@RawbertBeef
“Omnibuses are for larpers” implies that people who buy omnibuses don’t read comics. Wtf are they doing with their $60-150 books that are full of comics then? Staring at them?

@TalkingSuperman No joke, easily the top 5 Superman villains.
English
If you read pre-crisis Superman books you will finally appreciate Prankster. He dosnt feel like a Joker-lite or even a Toyman. He’s a scam artist. He’s got this reoccurring aspect of “I’m not touching you” “I’m not breaking laws” and the ability to get the crowd on his side.
English
@thefatspaceman Hmmmm...
I think, them getting into reading long books, without getting the satisfaction of a finished story, may have discouraged them from seeking more.
You can list all the reason why that's illogical, but since when are people logical?
English
Idle thought that I WILL abandon with even the slightest pushback: alongside the many well-documented other reasons, the decline in casual readership in the last 10-15 years can be blamed, in some part, on George RR Martin failing to deliver the Winds of Winter

People are accusing Andy Weir from stealing the robot from Interstellar but what you guys (people with inferior reading skills to me) don’t get is that he’s an alien not a robot so he can’t be the same character. Checkmate (not in a political way though)
Andrey 📚 - Fantasy Classic Book Club@zbogus77
Project Hail Mary is the greatest book I’ve ever read. The amazing character development from goofy scientist to goofy scientist in space and the side character alien that was totally not stolen from Interstellar make for such a bromance and the flowery prose makes it elite.

The thing with their dislike of “morally grey” is that it’s really a dislike of “accountability”
Nick Simmonds@Diacritic
What makes these numbskulls mad in works like Martin's isn't that "there's no good and evil and everyone is morally gray", it's that good and evil are emergent from actions and not inherent, that there aren't orcs who are declared evil and paladins declared good.
