Oh great, Superman is a commie now.

Col. Kurtz · 04-29-2011, 10:27 AM

I thought he was an illegal alien anyway?

Subvet642 · 04-29-2011, 10:28 AM

I never liked DC comics, anyway.

And on a related note, if Supe dons a UN baby blue unitard, he will match a certain Zero Halli and will become fairly ineffectual. Coinkydink? I think not.

DC selling out to PC instead of taking on any issues, perhaps? I may need to read the issue to see what the context says, but I would guess it is more "Kumbayah singing World Police" PC. It has become an evil thing to be steadfastly American. Or an unabashedly proud American. Even for Kal-El. Sad, really.

I want to see his birth certificate.

He can go home if he doesn't like it here too.

And, who the hell is still reading comic books?

Hasn't that breed of moron died off yet?

Most of them are all now producing major motion pictures, making millions

No, I'm not dead yet.

And fyi, we have a member here who used to be a very important production member of one of the larger comic book companies.

Comic books, or graphic novels, have far more interesting storylines than anything on tv today.

Since all(well most) of these superhero movies have made so much money, I guess you would have to consider those that went to see them morons too, huh?

As for StuperMan, so eat Krytonite!

Bunker · 04-29-2011, 01:11 PM

Well, I knew as soon as I posted that it was going to piss someone off - but then again I studied literature in college and still read a lot of books and none of them have cartoons in them.

Don't worry, I have become a cigar snob too since joining CA.

As for the movie industry, I'd say they know their target audience pretty well (it just isn't me anymore).

So because you studied literature(ooooooh), you can call people morons for liking comic books. I see.

And if you are you calling me a cigar snob, you can f yourself.

Don't get you panties in a bunch, I was calling myself a snob. I'm also an asshole too (admitting it is half the battle).

But I will never consider anything that needs pencil drawings to tell the story a novel.

Still there is an audience for everything, how else could professional wrestling still be making millions?

I moron'd myself to all the Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Ironman movies. The Hulk, too. I loved that show when I was a kid, I was truly sad when Bill Bixby died.
I'm looking forward to Thor, too. I hope it doesn't suck.
