The WORST Opinions On Superman

Superman is one of the most iconic characters but often appears neglected or entirely disrespected outside of modern DC Comics. Many perceive the character as boring or one-dimensional due to recent adaptations like the Injustice games and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the latest title in the Batman Arkham series, both featuring evil versions of Superman. In Kill the Justice League, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern are mind-controlled by Brainiac. The DCEU, with Batman v Superman and Zack Snyder's Justice League, has portrayed a version of Clark Kent missing a key element that makes the character special. Henry Cavill's depiction in the Snyderverse sadly got cut short, with his last appearance in the Black Adam post-credits scene. The upcoming DCU reboot, beginning with Creature Commandos and James Gunn's SUPERMAN, introduces a recast Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, along with the inclusion of Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific. As of right now, the only decent modern Superman adaptations comprise of My Adventures with Superman and Superman & Lois.

And Superman is the unrelatable one.

People forget that Superman is less of a God amongst men and more of the embodiment of the idea of hope and Corage and Good. Good writers can give Superman a relatable character and consistent but a truly compelling writer can show people what Superman really is, an idea, an idea that everyone has the power to do good. He is the Story Of Superman after all, he is the Achetypal form of Heroism made Human. And has been for many Decades. I'm sad that people just don't know who Superman is and what he represents.

That's not necessarily true. All of them grossed well, Batman Begins wasn't a monster hit either. The Dark knight and the dark knight rises where the ones that REALLY made the money. The Man of Steel and Superman returns made profits and did fairly well at the box office. Superman usually does fairly well. If a movie doesn't make more than half a billion or a billion doesn't mean it's not a success. Ya'll get to hype with these numbers.

Nobody can really say Superman's character is "outdated" when heroes and heroism itself isn't outdated. Characters like Captain America and Spiderman don't get called outdated characters despite having the similar sorts of morals and hopes as Superman... Hopeful heroic characters aren't outdated, no certain character archetype is outdated. It all depends on the execution and that can effect any character with their iterations. Superman just suffers the most because in all honesty he's not been focused on ever unless it's a vs match up. There's alot more focus on his powers than himself, which is very evident with many superman clones that are evil like Brightburn or Homelander that only have his powers. Adventures with Superman do a good job with the man and not just the powers. Superman is indeed a character that should be getting a game and more, like imagine instead of SSKTJL we had an Arkham Superman game.

If goku can still have interesting stories at that level of power why can't supergoat

[@Rough_Estimates]

"he's not relatable" is a terrible take IMO.

[@PhillipOnTakos]

Superman Vs. The Elite changed my mind on Superman. I enjoyed the Donner films when my dad put them on but they didn't hit with me that much. I think it was was just Clark talking to his dad for advice that got me. Then Superman showing how terrifying he could actually be and how easy it would for him to be just like them before revealing it was all a ruse. It showed me that even with all his power how hard he has to try to not go too far. How hard he has to restrain himself and how a weaker person wouldn't do that because it's easier/quicker. Sure I can't relate to the power Superman has but I can relate to that. That struggle to do the right thing to do it correct even if it's hard. Instead of taking the easy option that can hurt others or yourself. I don't know. I know you could argue that's true with many super heroes but seeing that made me rethink Superman and seeing the Injustice style superman so often now. The one that Superman Vs. The Elite showed the exact opposite of, it just gets annoying.

[@Doctor_366]

The amount of times I had to explian to my friend that superman isn't boring and only for him to say he's boring months later is frustrating.

[@Lt.Lickit]

Trunks on Superman always looked good. That doesn’t mean I will be able to take it seriously though. Yes having trunks on an alien that wears blue and has a cape is weird. Because the color of Superman’s suit is not goofy and so taboo. And Superman uses a cape as an human would so that also isn’t even close to as taboo as underwear on the outside of pants.

[@Goober12345]

A close friend of mine said that Superman was boring because he had no motivation to help people and wasn’t relatable and yet one of his favorite characters is unicron from transformers who is a character that is literally pure evil and nothing else no emotion no character to an extent it’s strange how people can grasp simple villains but not heroes who literally just like helping people Like yea supes isn’t the most relatable but as a normal dude I get why he does what he does it’s not like he is complicated

[@EvandroACruz]

Mos and Injustice games ruined Superman to a entire generation. DC Rebirth bring the true Superman back and now we need see him again in the movies.

[@iamlaw8848]

Superman's the goat. Whay I'd give to have a Superman game

[@arionofotherworld]

Good video. At his best Superman as a character is just a regular guy who wants to help people if he can. Powers or not he'd help people, be it helping someone carry groceries or helping people in an accident or disaster.

[@demianoff]

I like it when they hype up his friendship with bruce. I dont like them being enemies unless it shows how hard it is for both to be in opposite sides

[@MarkTUsman96090]

People need to respect Superman for who he really is

[@KillerMoth_Stumpy]

Bro the trunks make his suit so much better. The trunks separate the blue so much better, and makes him look like he's wearing clothes instead of just tight coveralls.

[@edwardertel5935]

As a wise man once said "Superman is naive not stupid."

[@jason15212]

I think directors and writers have forgotten that Clark Kent is a regular for the most part and that’s why people have started to feel bored with him. They lean too much into the alien shit.

[@thememeguy2195]

Honestly, i like Superman more than edgy, morally 'grey", cynical anti-heroes that have become common over the last decade. I find a man who remains steadfast in his beliefs and refuses to lose hope incredibly inspiring. There's a simple beauty in Clark's character, something magical that the first Donner film captured. He's an alien with god-like powers, yet he's more human than most characters.

[@tuckerharpe1381]

My adventures with Superman was really good, so excited for season two later this month

[@gwenfairholm8080]

People who say superman is too good or too strong to be interesting should really watch or read more superman stuff. Spiderman is just like superman, incorruptible moral compass, powers that should make it so he never looses a fight, and always holds back out of a fear of hurting those he is fighting, but no one ever says spiderman is boring, because we've had amazing spiderman stories in our face near constantly.

[@TheAlfie690]

Bro this is the best Superman video I've seen in a long time. Everything you've said 100% Yes. I'm going to watch this video like 10 times just to give you views bro.

[@astro-ko3cu]

People say they don't like superman because he is too op and then they make him a teen and people like him, that's too stupid

[@roarmbee7045]

Imo, Tom Welling's Clark Kent is the most relatable Live-Action Superman adaptation, because he's basically like Peter Parker, like school problems, money problems, like the problems he faced has the same problems every teenagers has

[@duellstaples2094]

Atom Eve said it best in Invincible. If people don't expect to see a superhero, they don't.

[@karimdavis7065]

Superman is a 1 dimensional character who's only solution is to punch harder.

Wrong. Superman always will try reason with your enemies first. He prefers peaceful soluctions if possible.

[@JesiahKing]

Did you read an comic or watched any show

[@JP-1990]

My take on what could make Superman more interesting is that him being the "Last Son of Krypton" means that everyone in the universe wants a piece of him but he just wants to be a chill person and help people on Earth. Basically make him a not-dumb Goku. He's a nice guy who doesnt want to start fights but WILL ABSOLUTELY FINISH THEM to protect his home and loved ones.

[@hermeschase4113]

1:00 i was legit not expecting to see Aba and Preach in here of all places LMFAO

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

Clark actually is a super-genius, or at least his brain moves faster than any human brain so he could easily pick up new concepts

[@bensboneyard6379]

I think the trunks argument is so stupid because I’d say the trunks help distinguish the design and not make it look a little empty

[@Vinesus]

Exactly. The suit needs both the red trunks and the yellow belt to break up the blue at the waist

[@ntcnetwork9934]

That Jimmy Kimmel sketch had a more accurate Lex Luthor than the actual movie. 😂

[@genocyberia619]

Its harder to be positive and devote yourself to being a beacon of positivity in the face of adversity than to be angry and resentful its inherently more complex to discover and flesh out the core of a positive person

[@thewolf01x95]

Superman haters are usually unimaginative edgelords. Aka batman fanboys

[@injin5557]

The trunks argument is a bit subjective but they'll always look goofy in my eyes. But telling me that people wouldn't recognise superman because he changes his posture and character is just not true. Literally works in a place where it is their job to keep tabs on Superman.

[@WOTUSuperheroUniverse]

🤦

[@scinnyc]

I loved the Christopher Reeves Superman movies as a kid, but I thought Superman was lame outside of that...until I read The Death of Superman & Reign of the Superman in my teens. Superman has been one of my favorite superheroes ever since, even thought I personally like the Kon-El Superboy and Mr. Majestic from Wildstorm better. Superman was always pretty relatable to me, especially in the Smallville tv series. I think people just don't like Superman because he's such a cliche superhero. But he has a lot of great stories and his personality is as iconic as his look and feats. I actually feel that Batman is kinda boring and over rated. Batman is an iconic character but his methods are outdated, which makes his no kill rule a danger to Gotham City residents who are regularly terrorized and murdered by the same criminals that Batman locks up every 2 weeks

[@wfjhDUI]

The problem isn't with Superman per se, it's specifically that Superman is poorly suited to the "darker, grittier, and more realistic" style of superhero media that's become so dominant.

[@kleinosim-asu7428]

He’s literally the most misunderstood character in fiction.

[@Tabletopcloud20]

I know i might get a lot of crap for this. I enjoyed Man of Steel. it's not the best adaptation of Superman but there's a lot of things about the movie i enjoy. The music by Hans Zimmer is great as expected. Henry has a great performance playing a Clark Kent trying to figure things out and his place in the world. Zod was a pretty decent villain with an understandable goal of wanting to bring back his home. And the military helping Superman out during the latter half of the movie was pretty damn cool. Its not often in superhero media where the military gets to help out a little bit. If the movie had a few more changes to it in the writing, it could've been a lot better.

[@saidi7975]

Man of Steel isn't Bad . Hell, it is Closer to how high the stakes in the post crisis comics could get... Plus, if Snyder used the OG Siegel Superman , you can't imagine the butthurt of''fans'' who don't know how that version is...let's Say Zod would not get away with a neck Snap...

[@EvandroACruz]

MOS is pure crap. That isn't a Superman movie.

[@c.m.654]

I admit I was on the Superman is boring and I don’t like him train for a long time. However, in the last couple of years I watched Superman and Lois, some dcau Superman stuff, and smallville and the more I watched the more I realized how watching an op man like supes having to deal with being human everyday is the appeal of the character. His struggles as Clark Kent is way more compelling knowing he is Superman.

[@michaelchapman454]

I literally had the same realization recently and what helped me get to that point was the rebirth era of Superman I'd highly recommend it

[@justinjones7411]

After reading the Death of Superman/ Reign of Superman storyline I'm been slowly starting to become a major fan of Superman.

I'll definitely admit as I got older I started to love superman and understand him more I'm only 21 so I grew up in the era where Batman was pushed more than Superman but after seeing Lois and klark and reading actually good comic adaptation of him he definitely one of the bros

[@srivatsarao2817]

A moment from superman unchained is when the Burj Khalifa is about to fall and he only has 1 minute to save everyone. He can’t push the building up because it’ll break due to the force, he isn’t fast enough to fly everyone out one by one. Cause if he does he’ll shatter glass which will hurt everyone. So what he does is that he goes to a waterbody nearby, flies really fast to make a water current big enough that it can act as support if frozen in ice, he uses freeze breath to freeze the water, and hopes that the structure holds up and it does cushion the building’s fall. He is not overpowered, but he is hella smart in using his powers

It would be absolutely telling if there was an Invincible game was made; along with a Metro Man and a Meta Man game; *before* Superman *ever* gets a second chance at gaming. Plus it would've made matters worse if the only time that Superman *could* get a game is if he went into the public domain and people made fan games about him.

[@HazeBre3]

Superman & Lois is, to me, some of the best Superman storytelling in live action out there.

[@CLDJ227]

Even if Superman isn't relatable, that probably the point, because he's supposed to be the paragon hero that sets the example for other heroes. He's character you are ment to look up too not relate too. In addition, him being overpowered doesn't mean you can't tell compelling narratives with him. Most of his great stories are about him having to hold back and be a pargon hero even if he could easily take over the world and kill villains with minimal effort 🤔.

[@KobytheHero]

I randomly found this channel a couple weeks ago and you’re quickly becoming the goat of comics youtube. I can’t even talk about my favorite character online these says without inviting some dumbass opinions, it’s nice to see there are some like-minded folks.

[@ultra_2099]

Facts put respect on the goat I'm tired of hearing people disrespect my man Like seriously the stupid thing's these people say "his not relatable" when his one of the only heroes with a relatable normal secret identity and unlike most heroes his life actually moves and changes instead of being the same thing for decades I'm looking at you Peter His lore and rogue's gallery is one of the most interesting in comic's yet we never see them get the love they deserve instead most adaptations just go for the bare minimum thing's everyone already knows "His too overpowered" guess what that's the point his character is that his the physical impediment of the power doesn't corrupt the person you are does when someone says him having not being evil or being as kind as he is unrealistic hey pal that's the point his supposed to be a goal and ideal for people to be like instead some of edge lord who only focuses on the negative also you hate superman being overpowered where's that same energy with batman or spider-man who is constantly stated and shown to be able to one-shot 99 percent of his villains if he ever actually tries And I'm sick of these adaptations not getting his capabilities right like his a terrible fighter when his top 10 in dc, his stupid when his arguably the smartest hero in dc and the his not battle smart when he mostly works alone and beats most of his enemies with intelligence and not just brute force PS i like Henry's version of superman but man it's unfortunate his story couldn't be told properly instead wb had to just mess up the universe with the stupid rushing of the characters

I learned at 17 years old the importance of Superman's trunks while prepping for a Halloween party. I was young and stupid and thought the trunks were "totally gay" and all that. Then I got a good look in the mirror and immediately realized "Oh, he wears the trunks because you can see his junk through the blue tights. Got it."
