Let's be honest, they're both Mary-Sues. The difference

Let's be honest, they're both Mary-Sues. The difference is for some reason or another people are okay with Batman being a Mary-Sue. I'm guessing because of the whole relatable factor due to being human.
>>
Let's be honest.
Shut up
>>
>>80564533
Such anger. Does the truth bother you.
>>
>>80564533
It's true, though.
>>
>>80564902
See he gets it.
>>
>>80564505
Batman is human in biology
Superman is human in nature
>>
It's not relatability, it's that Batman's feats are more impressive since they're done in spite of his humanity. He has to work harder for them/have more plot contrivances.
>>
>>80565901
That's usually the sort of shot people bring up when people say they relate to him mate.
>>
>>80565898
What you just said makes no sense. Lol Pot and Ghandi were worlds apart in nature but both human. It's this misunderstanding of the humanity in Superman literature that make people reject.him imo.
>>
>>80564505
They are wish fulfillment, pure and simple.

Superman is a power fantasy, Batman is a different power fantasy.

Nice try, OP

How is Batman a mary sue?
He fucks up constantly and needs a huge cast of people helping him, he is also constantly called an asshole and even his closest people can barely tolerate him sometimes.
The prep-time meme actually proves that he has to spend all his time preparing to be even a little effective instead of being naturally gifted and solving everything. He wins in the end? Of course he does, because that's what all heroes do.

>>80565898
That makes no sense, they both have different human traits.
>>
>>80564505
You couldn't even use a different image for this shitty bait thread? Kill yourself OP
>>
batman has character flaws whereas superman is a paragon of strength and virtue that everyone loves


one cant be considered a sue the other can
>>
Superman isn't a Mary sue. At least not anymore He's always fucking up and making mistakes and needs to be rescued multiple times. In comics, in t.v. and in films.
>>
Do the people who make these threads actually read comics or do they just read the characters Wikipedia entries?
>>
>>80566864
The latter.
>>
>>80564505
>The difference is for some reason or another people are okay with Batman being a Mary-Sue
yeah thats why there's all the batman love threads you troll
>>
>>80566864
People like OP read YouTube comments and take it as fact.
>>
>>80566596
I feel like batfags are in a weird state right now where they like all these cool and awesome atributes that surround the character where he can kick everyone's ass and everyone wants to suck him off and Bruce takes no shit from anyone but at the same time seem to be at odds with the marysue title that comes with it.So you see them come up with dumb pass defenses like
> but before Bruce takes out the Justice League he has to think it through
Like that somehow makes him less of a Mary-Sue. Jesus people wake the fuck up and accept if you want him to be the greatest and most special person in DC then the sue titles is what comes with it.
>>
>>80564505
So all protagonists are Mary Sues? Because if success is what defines that term for you, then only protagonists who fail at everything aren't Mary Sues.
>>
>>80567009
Is there even a point in your argument?
People that actually read the comics know that Bruce makes a lot of mistakes, the one that usually complain about him being the best at everything are the ones that don't read his stuff or don't even watch more casual things like his movies.

For every time he defeats someone there is another instance where he is defeated and no one claims that Batman is perfect.
Alsol everyone sucking Bruce off? Half of the JL consider him a jerk.
>>
>>80567063
you're getting it now
>>
>>80567117
And the League still jerks him off most of the time because OMG BATMANS SO AWESOME AND DARK. It's why it's acceptable for him. To take out the Justice League alone
>>
>>80567387
literally anyone in the jl can take out the rest of the jl if the plot demands it

also everyone in the jl gets jerked off sooner or later
>>
>>80564505
We've been over this a million times.

Batman is a mary sue, but we get to see why he's a mary sue.
For example, he's supposed to be intelligent, and we see all the intelligence feats he has.

Superman on the other side, is intelligent because he just is. Never showcased outside of reading at speed light and memorising shit. Never shown thinking out of the box.
>>
>>80564505
He isn't a Mary Sue, he is just written poorly and needs plot armor a foot thick to function in his universe
>>
>>80564505
Let's be honest, you don't know what a Mary-Sue is.
>>
>>80566915
>>80566864
Both of these. Right here.
>>
>>80567483
Do the people like you actually read comics or do you just read the characters Wikipedia entries?
>>
>>80564505
Any character can be a mary sue depending on who the writer is.
>>
>>80567578
As if they'd even take the time to read Wikipedia and YouTube comments.
