Why do people enjoy watching Superman get beat up and defeated so badly?
>>
Because everyone wants to see the best of us fail miserably and be brought down to their level.
>>
Because when you're that overpowered, it's the only interesting thing left you can do

Because see superman get triggered is fun.
>>
well in this case it's the corruption of absolute power getting fucking humbled. When it's wholesome Superman getting beat down I just turn into a fucking five year old and scream in my head for him to get back up
>>
>>83726469
Well, that Superman is an asshole. So it's great that he gets his faced caved in a couple of times.
>>
Because he's an alien.And aliens deserve to be humiliated.

Because he didn't stop my dad from beating me.

>>83726469
If Alfred beat him how come the story didn't end there?
>>
>>83727892
Why didn't Alfred just kill Superman?

I don't know how anyone could like such a weak character.

>>83726535
The only "best" is Batman, and he's never failed.
>>
>>83726469
This and the wonder woman beatdown were cringe as fuck to watch. They're the equivalent of that drawing Cho did of superman on the ground crying as batman is standing over him. It just reeks of someone who got off to this just thinking to themself "lol yeah fuck superbitch, you'll always be a lame shitty character". This is why you never let fanboys make comics. You get shit like this.

How did this scene end? I can't remember it.
>>
People enjoy watching people better than themselves get dragged through the mud.
>>
Some people will never get to fulfill their lifelong desire to beat up their dad and this is the next best thing.
>>
>>83726469
Because that Superman is an asshole.
It's kind of a shame that Superman fans can't differentiate between different versions of the character so if something bad happens to any one of them then it means you hate Superman or stuff like that.

>>83728392
>that huge victim complex

Captain America, Spider-Man etc.
All not-edgy character that people love.

>>83726469
Because people know deep down they should be better people, and when they see someone doing good and being better they are reminded of just how much less they are than they could be. Rather than trying to improve themselves the hard way and being better they instead take the easy route and try to tear down whatever or whoever is causing them guilt.

You realize that all of your examples are from Marvel. DC has been going a lot more grim and dark. Hell, they made nu52 Lois into a slut that alternates between wanting to bang Clark and sleeping with random people.

>>83726535
That's pure projection, but sure.

>it's a 'batfags are insecure about their husbando' thread
>>
>>83728877
Superman is still the poster boy of super heroes in DC, the one that everyone looks up and the inspiration for heroes everywhere.

So yet again your complains are hollow.

>>83728923
>a 'batfags are insecure about their husbando' thread
Alfred? Well yeah he's probably the only Batman character everyone can say they like.

>>83726535
Shut up, J.Jonah Jameson

>>83726469
I can't speak for others but as a Superman fan I don't. I enjoyed this scene as an example of those who believe themselves staunchly correct due to Might Makes Right being rectified in their belief.

Anyone sorely due for a spanking is always deserving of it. I don't much care who they were before becoming pompous. You don't get to be a fat cunt all day long and then cry foul when you get shafted for it.

Remember, or read the comic if you haven't outside these few panels, at this point Superman had repeatedly blamed Batman for things he couldn't control, brutally killed Ollie for accidentally endangering the Kents instead of even helping Jonathan, allowed his own stubbornness to infect the morals of others like Flash and Billy to unspeakable actions such as assisting in holding Atlantis hostage to put Arthur in place and broke Bruce's back out of sheer spite.

Getting savaged by someone of such moral caliber and mercy as Alfred is not even half of what he deserved for all he did.

>>83728291

Just ride it out anon. The baiting will pass.
>>
>>83728983
but anon, Alfred is just another mask batman wears

At least it didn't get worse after tha-
>Year 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Shit.

I'm SO glad Plastic Man and Constaine survived that shit. Still bummed about Guy...
>>
>>83729592
It was bull how he went out, but at least Guy went out during active duty among the Corps.
Kyle was just jumped and murdered in the vacuum of space with no one was around. Sinestro then buddies up with Hal.
