@JoeyWatcherElba @Wentos1 Nonsense, in Silver Age especially, he was constantly put in peril by regular crooks.

@FifteethChance @Wentos1 Most other eras/adaptations where he is portrayed as near godlike. A lot of people bitched about Superman getting his ass kicked all the time in the recent movie. For better or worse, (and I think better) that's a legacy of Byrne.

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.

I need to raise $550 by tomorrow morning before my shift at work or we will be kicked out of the room we’re living in. I’m the only manager left at my job so I can’t get someone to cover me while I sort things out. Anything helps! Thank you to all who have donated thus far!!!
Dom Griffin@AllNewDom
Reposting because I have two days to raise $750 so I don’t lose housing. The rest of the goal is to get to and from work and to eat but right now my priority is keeping the roof. Anything helps, even if it’s just sharing this so others who may help can see it.

Very funny that conservatives finally had their "real fantasy is not about grey characters" bullshit on tv only for Dunk and Egg to show up at the same time and everybody remembered how much they love George

@JoeyWatcherElba @Wentos1 As opposed to what?
English
@Wentos1 @FifteethChance Add to that: he's far from omnipotent
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.

@Kvrtz1 I probably should've added "and not without positives" to the first, but eh.

@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.

@thefatspaceman Never seen this.

@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

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
