It's still literally raping his image and promoting him as a edgy dudebro. DC is obsessed with making Superman "Gritty" and "Realistic" over Fun and Inspirational.

You don't see Marvel making an "elseworld" where Ms Marvels has drunk sex and cuts people's arms off.

Not everyone is a unlikable cynical jerk like you, Max Landis/Geoff Johns. Some of us prefer Clark Kent and Billy Batson to be ideals of inspiration and pure joy, not unlikable edgy jerks or dudebros.
That's why so many people left moden DC.

Ms Marvel is more Fun and Inspirational than Modern Superman. Ms Marvel inspires young readers that they aren't useless and not the fault for everything wrong in the world. She teaches love as acceptance.
Modern Superman is a douche who melts people's arms off, swears, drinks, has sex with random women he just met, and punch people across waters and not care if they drown (and that's not including Nu52 Superman who has a buzzcut, punches police officers, fight monsters who dig up his parent's graves, and broods). I guess Marvel does what DCan't (I.e. create likeable inspirational heroes)

I still don't see what was necessarily wrong with Clark in this. He really wasn't that much of a dudebro douche. He turned up on the ship, was mistaken as someone else, was convinced to play along by a beautiful redhead, decided to have fun and party in a way he had never done before (I mean come on who wouldn't), he got noted how wastful these people are and how he doesn't like it, has consensual sex with said red head, becomes drugged so badly he actually gets black out drunk, does something stupid to someone who picked a fight (again he literally was black out drunk, we've all made mistakes when in a state like that), wakes up and goes on his way.

I mean I don't really see what he did that was terrible here. He's still essentially a teenager so him deciding to go along and have fun isn't really that big a deal. Christ Supes is usually a more of a easy going character anyway.

>>78994264
The real Superman (and Clark since they are the same) are supporto be an ideal. The real Superman is suppose to be pure. The real Superman is suppose to e flawless. The real Superman is suppose to be fun and nice. That's why his name is SUPERman.
He doesn't swear. He doesn't drink alcohol. He doesn't bang random women he just met. He doesn't melt people's arms off. He doesn't flick people across the ocean and let them drown.
He is SUPERMAN. This isn't Superman or Clark Kent. This is Max Landis sticking Superman's name on himself and selling it to fools like you who don't truely know the character. And him and DC comics continue to rape the character by trying to make him """""mature""""" with violence, alcohol, swearing, drugs, blood, and sex. None of that is Superman.
>>
>>78984126
>Ms Marvel is a better and more fun character than current Superman
it really shows you the sad state of dc comics when Ms Marvel is a better character and book than anything Superman in the last few years.
>>
>>78994689
Hmm. I guess I've never seen him as an ideal like that. I've always just seen him as a good person doing his best with what he can do. And as such seeing him going from kid finding himself to a good man who just happens to be stronger than us. Personally seeing him as an ideal is something I don't like since it implies that people can't be like Supes which I think is something I disagree with and something I think Supes would disagree with. He sees himself like us and he sees that we are capable of the same good as he is so to say that he is some perfect ideal makes it so that we couldn't compare.

Personally I don't really think you understand superman that much.

this anon is right! Superman is some gayass perfect ideal for people to inspire to. he's a alpha like us who bangs chicks, drinks big, and fucks up anyone who crosses him!
also, be sure to check out new superman comic coming by max landis and greg pak called 'S' gon give it to ya! in which we take superman and do something we have never done before: make him grounded and gritty!
in this elseworld comic, superman now wears a hoodie and has a sidecut haircut and a backwards cap! instead of his boring powers he now has telekinesis and telepathy! Watch him blow up criminal's legs and bang some hot sluts while he finishes a six pack! this ain't your daddy's queer krytonian! this is Biggy Supes for a new generation!
Because here at DC, we know how to make Biggy Supes hip to le kids!

Except for everything.
DC comics keeps ruining Superman by making him more 'relatable' but all it does it take away from who Superman should be (even when he's just Clark Kent).
Superman doesn't need to burn people arms off, or drink liqueur, swear, or bang random women to make him 'cool'.
That's not what makes Superman great. That's what takes away what makes Superman/ClarkKent special twisting him into a cynical edgy shell of what he is suppose to be. No one thinks of Him and instantly of booze, sex, and gore. That's not Truth, Justice, and the American Way. That's the 90s way.

Man you seem really annoyed by what I said. I'm sorry that wasn't really my intention. There's nothing wrong with seeing him as an ideal I just don't think that's necessarily how supes would want to be seen. But you've misconstrued what I said. I'm not saying that what you should do is make superman some edgy murderer that's not supes. but you can be a genuinely good person without being a monolith. For some reason you are comparing relatable with flawed and that's not the case. you can have a truly good person and still be relatable.
>>78996619
I'm getting the feeling that you don't think that people can be as good as superman. This is not true and frankly I'm kind of annoyed that someone who seems to love supes would ignore his earnest belief in humanity. Him being a genuine person does not make him bad.

For example you use the heat vision attack in the second book. In that instance Clark used his heat vision after that person put a slug in his head ans genuinely made him bleed. He was hurt and scared and as in most things his heat vision can be activated by intense emotions. He was scared and acted how he could as a kid. Afterwards he showed extreme regret about his actions. What he did there was some edgy power fantasy but the actions of a scared did defending himself.

For me what makes him great is not the ideal he represents but the person he is. Someone who chooses to help not because he has to or because of some vendetta but because he is able to and he thinks it is the right thing to do. He's an idealist in a world of cynics. To me turning into an unmoving ideal cheapens the character. But hey that's what having different iterations of characters is for.

Again you're angry that he didn't magically the out of the womb perfect. The point of him having the family and the upbringing he had was that they were supposed to give him the upbringing and morals to be the great person he was. Having Superman grow into his role as superman isn't inherently bad. And he isn't just supposed to be something to aspire to. He's also supposed to see in us what we see in him and want to bring us up to stand alongside him.

>>78997478
He literally states that he didn't think he could get drunk. It wasn't the alcohol that fucked him up but the mortally fatal poison he ingested. You can't really plan for that.

That's what he thought. People think they can hold their liqueur all the time (doesn't mean they can). Because of this Clark got himself drunk on poisen and made a huge risk.

This is essentially what you are asking for. A Superman who absolutely under no circumstances cannot have fun or be a human being, even a dumb one for half a second.

You don't want a character, let alone a rural teenager who grew up in a town where drinking and fucking are the only things to do (Believe me, I've lived in one.), you want a character who is a monolithic ideal that is always perfect and always right.

Also, I've been suicidal for 8 years now. I go to sleep every night praying I don't wake up. I only remain alive because my death would destroy my family.

Scott Lobdell is a shit writer. I'm not suddently at the point that I'm shitposting every thread that remotely involves him.

Personally I don't have a problem with it. Everybody is going 'not muh superman' but I thought that's the point. This isn't superman. It's Clark before he's superman. He's still growing, trying to find his place in the world. He's still a kid. I'm not saying it's amazingly written it's just people who want to force supes into not being an actual person frustrate me as I don't see him like that.

But he's not acting remotely like Clark or Superman. I wouldn't be able to tell it was supposed to be Clark if it wasn't specified. It's one thing to show another side of a character and another to make a new character and slap an existing character's name on it.
>>
>>78998238
But it wasn't a risk. And Champagne isn't even that alcoholic. Hell over a whole day to be as drunk as Supes is you'd be going through a few bottles of the stuff.

I'm glad you think that Clak can only be interesting if he's a idiot and that it's okay he risked getting drunk and doing horrible shit with his powers. You would think a kid that found out he was an alien with dangerous power that almost murdered a guy would be mre cautious.

And then if you look closely each thread, both his fan and his haters sound retarded with a few of the haters having specific points they keep bringing up in an attempt to look stupid and trick people into thinking "these Landis haters sure are dumb, maybe the guy's not so bad, his haters are just dumb and obnoxious".
>>
>>78998460
Yeah, because Superman is a perfect being who never ever makes mistakes, especially years before he decides to use his abilities in the service of humanity.
>>
>>78983636
I really enjoy this story.
Thank you for the storytime OP!!!
>>
>>78998528
No. Why would you say that? Just because I don't see a problem with someone drinking doesn't mean I force it. I just don't see someone drinking as a bad thing.

Just a question how sheltered are you actually? Cause the fact that you took people saying that there is nothing wrong with drinking and thought that meant that I'd also be ok with rape is kinda fucking strange.
>>
>>78998422
>And Champagne isn't even that alcoholic.
Still alcoholic
>Hell over a whole day to be as drunk as Supes is you'd be going through a few bottles of the stuff
Well, I'm glad Clark decided to take that risk. Maybe next he can do some cocaine and hope he doesn't kill everyone.
>>
>>78998551
>as much hate as American Alien get
It's not really hated though. It gets pretty stellar reviews in just about every outlet. The only people hating on it are the ones that are hating it just for who the writer is.
>>

I genuinely don't know what constitutes a normie. Are we supposed to be ok with rape? Cause that's wrong.
>>78998658
OK I made a mistake. I meant to say that for a normal person who isn't a solar powered alien to get as drunk as Clark did would take multiple bottles. For him it would do nothing. Pretty sure Coke wouldn't effect him either but I don't know, don't think that's ever been shown. Sorry I confused you.

Drinking alcohol alone is pathetic.

Ok well I'm not ok with rape. I mean jokes are ok and all but the actual idea of like doing it to an actual person is gross. If that's a normie thought I guess I'm a normie. Sorry to bother you.

*GASP*
Whaaaaaat???!!!!! You don't like story where Clark Kent is fratboy who drinks and bangs random chicks????
But he's so much cooler than previous faggot boring versions! He's gritty, grounded, and with a wicked sense of humor!
>>
>>78999027
Man come on. How is he gritty? And again why is it morally wrong to drink or have consensual sex with someone?
>>
>>78999112
Superman shouldn't have sex with people who aren't Lois Or Batman
>>
>>78999027
Anon I drink harder on a tuesday night than Clark has on a party boat and I am by no means a heavy drinker. You might just have to accept the fact that Superman isn't a teetotaller.
>>
>>78999112
It's morally wrong to get drunk if you can literally kill everyone around you with your superpowers

It's wrong to have drunken sex with a girl you can easily tear in two if you aren't 100% careful.
>>
>>78999112
The part where Clark "Man of Charred Arms" Kent left Slade to drown and didnt bother to check if he was okay
>>
>>78999184
This is the most amused I have been since I found out about Christian Sonic
>>
>>78999112
Jeez, this again? I just said it was irresponsible to have sex with random sluts you don't know. I don't know why that offends you all so.
>>
>>78998106
>You don't want a character, let alone a rural teenager who grew up in a town where drinking and fucking are the only things to do (Believe me, I've lived in one.)
I grew up in the city myself, but I just find this funny because all the country people I'd meet would me this same thing, where there's really nothing to do in the country but drink and fuck with a side of hanging out at Walmart occasionally. Probably why I liked the second issue, since it finally shows what actual country kids would be like.
>>
>>78999245
>Slut-shaming
Anon Superman would be disappointed in you.
>>
>>78999184
>>78999185
We've been through this guys. There was no way clark could have known that there would have been a poison in his drink. If there was not the poison he would not have got drunk. There was no risk. And he's obviously good at being gentle. You learn how to do that. And he used his heat vision in self defense when a slug tore up his face and he was scared. How is that edgy or anything?
>>78999295
Also what he said. There is nothing wrong with having sex to just enjoy sex. Stop being puritans.
>>
I can see why his movies keeps failing in Hollywood and the only place left for his shitty ass scripts is in comics.
>>
I don't know which makes me more sad, that I'm defending Landis comic or I'm defending Landis comic against even more unreasonable people
>>
>>78999323
>it's okay, they had it coming. Lethal force is the only force
Hi Zimmerman!

Not gonna lie, I'd love for Clark and Bruce to be gay together. The character dynamic is great already. I think they'd be a great couple.

I said it's dumb and irresponsible, not "wrong", as in morally. You guys are really stupid, why can't you read right?

>>78999529
Ok then fair enough. I was more talking to the autist but whatever. You're right it could be seen as that but my response would be why can't young clark be a bit irresponsible every once in a while? It's not like there was a problem with what he did and she obviously was into him. Why shouldn't he go for it?
>>
>>78998664
Except pretty much every site but /co/ has pretty bad taste. They often give Snyder, Johns, Slott, etc stellar reviews.
>>
>>78999647
If real Superman acted like Landis version I don't see how there'd even be an Earth left to protect by the time he grew up.

>>
>>78999665
>>78999770
Wait, I remember

Not wanting Clark to act like some Landis-insert douche is not the same as wanting him to be a robot, and conflating the two means you can only think in extremes.

So far so good.

This is the journey the messianic figures takes before he actually becomes the ideal.

You don't think Jesus went from being a baby to bearded asshole in the desert overnight?

If you want another example, read Dune you clueless faggots. Paul can't even save his dad and fucks up all the time before ingesting the water of life and becomes the Kwisatz Haderach.
>>
>>78999647
I didn't stutter. A super child acted scared and in self defense. he thought confronting them was the right thing to do and was shown that he was not ready for the responsibility of trying to do the right thing. The poison put him in a state where he obviously was super intoxicated. How was that his fault? That's like blaming supes for the shit he does while under mind control. There is nothing wrong with him wanting to have sex. Honestly I don't know why you think it is. And in Superman has killed before. He did his best to punch doomsday to death back when he was mullet supes. He does the best he can to keep people safe. Most of the time he's strong enough that no one has to get killed. That was not one of those times. He had to make a hard decision to protect people and he made it.
>>78999893
What the fuck are you on about. the time difference between 2 and 3 has been like 8 years. And why are you acting like it was the alcohol that fucked him up. I swear it's like you guys are trying to get offended by this.
>>78999871

Dude! come on. Superman isn't about him being better than us. That's fucking lex's whole thought process. How have you failed to grasp the basic tenant of the character. Actually how have you somehow reversed it? He isn't supposed to be seen as better than us. He is supposed to simply be a good person with the power to do good. How is that so fucking hard to understand? It's shit like this why superman suffers. No one can agree on what superman is anymore.

It's hard to care about Superman when he keeps getting shitty portrayals like this.

Because he's a shitty writer that claims to be the greatest writer and whines on the Internet when his shitty movies get shitty scores? Because he's a shitty writer who complains about shitty fanfiction writing when all his writing his shitty fanfiction writing? Because he claims there are no original ideas then writes a frankenstein movie and born-ripoff? Because he claims to be a feminist but hates strong female characters and makes them blow up doll trophies for his male characters? Because his hair looks stupid?

I don't care if you hate it. I haven't even read it because it doesn't look like something I'd like. But don't spew horseshit like saying Superman hasn't had good comics in years which is just factually false. Action Comics and Superman have ranged from good to amazing in the past 5 years.

No, he's shitposting against it in hopes that bleedingcool will make an article on it.

Man of Charred Arms doesn't know that. He didn't check to see if he was okay or swim to save him. Despite making a big deal in the last issue that he didn't want to do stuff like that. And despite Max Landis saying how much "Clark loves his villains and tries to help them (unlike Spider-Man who's a bully that tortures them". For someone who says Clark is all about caring, he seems to only care about his own lust and vices.

But how silly of me, why would I want Clark to act like a super decent person? Nope, he needs to be an asshole just like everyone else! Fuck inspirational characters!!! They're for Faggots! We gritty now!
