      Sure, it's a cheat and a power fantasy (but so are most comic book characters, *how* strong isn't the problem). But the thing is, you still need to present a way to deal with the bad things, however you symbolize them. Comics are heightened reality. The powers aren't the thing.

      Replying to @MudDude4 @arthur_affect

      Yes but Spiderman can swing around and disarm people and climb on walls and sometimes he has a mech suit. That's heightened reality but he still doesn't know if people outside his immediate area are in danger, he can't manipulate time, he can still be physically harmed

      Spider-Man is a person you can tell a story that makes sense about. Superman is God, an interventionist God, and the only stories that can be told about such a being are ones with Him as the antagonist

      The fantasy of Superman is specifically “someone who has no reason to be a good person is”, that might not be resonant for you in particular but it is for plenty of people

      Replying to @Cybren @MudDude4 @arthur_affect

      I mean, does anyone have a "reason" to be a "good person"? What even is a good person? The fact that we can answer that easily for Superman is the only reason that's even a coherent thing. Most of us have massive tradeoffs

      If I invest emotional energy to help one stranger, I may or may not benefit them, and there's another stranger I won't be helping in that time, and I will be drained and unable to help other people later Superman, quite simply, can help all of them and be fine

      But... it isn't, though. The whole idea is he's still one guy in one place at one time doing the one thing (again, no time powers in the comics). How big the thing he's punching or how fast he's moving is... largely aesthetics, honestly.

      The main times I’ve seen Superman takes I vibed with (as a character as opposed to a genre subversion) were basically “here is our very large adult anxiety disorder” and I don’t think that’s a coincidence

      Arguably there’s something potentially reassuring/relatable about absurd power but + only being in one place at one time + human judgment = Look, It Has Anxiety, the ‘what if large good things were possible but also being worried about them all the time was still allowed’ factor

      There's this great line at the end of Spring Awakening, the original play (which is much cooler than the musical), where the mysterious Masked Man bids farewell to the ghost of Moritz and the still living Melchior after saving Melchior from Moritz getting him to join him in death

          I have to imagine he then says his work is done and vanishes in a cape flourish
