      yeah also he can't alter time because that's not how time works in the DCU, he can travel back in time but it operates off of Doctor Who logic where there are fixed points you can't avert

      Replying to @saintwalker98 @loudpenitent

      Ok but I don't understand what kind of class-first brain twisting it becomes for it to be an unusual or hot take type opinion to say "it's obviously easier to imagine being rich and good at martial arts than being literally unable to be killed except, again, by a fake mineral"

      It's about social perspective, Ellie. That's the argument, anyways. Clark's socially a fairly ordinary comfortable-working-class fellow, and that's shaped his perspective and how society treats him.

      Replying to @loudpenitent @saintwalker98

      Yes but he still *knows that he cannot be killed*, *knows what everyone is doing at all times unless he shuts it out or they're using Kryptonite*, can *travel so fast that he can intervene anywhere he can hear which is everywhere which means anyone he doesn't save is on him* etc

      He's actually been killed, though. He explicitly knows the pain and fear of death.

      Replying to @potaterator @loudpenitent @saintwalker98

      Ok, but he still is in no danger 99.99999% of the time. Bruce Wayne is less likely to be shot while walking as himself than his parents were and certainly less than most of us, but any person could kill him. Superman knows he only has to fear incredibly powerful aliens like him

      If you ever wrote a Superman story, would you make Luthor the hero, Ellie?

      Replying to @TellerGrim @loudpenitent @saintwalker98

      I wouldn't write a Superman story. Superman makes every story less interesting to me because the only reason anything can ever not be solved in it is because someone has encased it in kryptonite. That's literally it

      I mean, that's not correct at all? For one, Superman stories are not primarily about danger to HIM, they're about danger to the squishy humans whom he's trying to save. For another, when they DO just want a classic punch-up, they throw Darkseid at him.

      A lot of people complain about how "modern Superman is a dumbass", especially when they own him by putting him next to World's Greatest Detective Batman But, well, that's because Silver Age Superman also being a superscientist does kind of break the setting

          It really does make it impossible to answer why there's even still crime or poverty or oppression at all if you have Superman regularly inventing Kryptonian super-tech at the Fortress of Solitude and so forth

          Personally I like the argument that he's not *stupid* so much as he just doesn't think because he's never had a reason to In fact, he has a *reason not to think* -- asking Big Questions about what he should be using his powers for is profoundly scary
