Never said they didn't. By the way, some of those values are still present in things like... I dunno... "capeshit" that you're bitching about.

Mr. America, that's a really bad principle. "What you believe" includes a lot of people believing really stupid things. If everyone plants themselves like a tree at their own personal river of truth, no one will move. And no one will get anything done unless they can uproot other people. So you have a world of no compromise, only violent oppression.
Is that your dream, "Captain"? Is that what you fight for?

Because 90% of it is written in such a hackneyed way that it becomes far more embarrassing than inspiring.

Also to put things in perspective, Thomas Malory wrote Le Morte D'Arthur because he was sick of his country being torn to pieces from War of Roses, and wanted to depict a bygone golden era where justice, mercy, chivalry, honor, loyalty, etc and how straying from or betraying those ideals can destroy a great kingdom.

Guys who write capeshit just want a paycheck and maybe the opportunity to push their leftist agenda or hashtag activism.

Yeah, fuck you buddy. You just sound like one of the many hipster skeptics these days, possibly non-American, who just wants to downplay the high volume of these creative works because you're either jealous as being a non-American, or you're a lowlife pseudo-anarchist with a problem with corporations, or you're just following what so many other hipsters are bitchin about.

I am plenty a fan of classic lit, Japanese media, non-Marvel / DC Western media, etc. but I still can enjoy some of it, since I'm a well rounded human being without hangups or political agendas to push. I liked Spiderman 1 and 2 with Tobey Maguire, I liked Iron Man 1, Guardians of the Galaxy was okay, Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight and the Arkham games, Deadpool was fun enough. I mean come on, this black and white shit is ridiculous.

Not him but you are pretty delusional if you cant understand what he is saying and associating it with modern politics. The fact you are trying to label him negatively with all those crappy political terms shows just how close minded you really are.

The purpose of modern comics was to ultimately turn a profit. The point the OP was making was that classics have both substance and significance based around real world experiences or times of great strife and tragedy. That is why they are great and why modern super hero comics are shallow and dumbed down.

The reason for their creation makes no fucking difference unless you're someone who is LOOKING for something to shit on them for. And not everything has to be highly sophisticated and brilliant, it can be simple and childish and you can still enjoy it. Substance and significance in art is not reliant on intellectual sophistication. In fact, not being able to almost bars you entirely from ever being truly sophisticated yourself, because it becomes apparent that you are a stuck up tryhard, which means you are insecure.

Basically Thor Odinson became unworthy somehow (it's literally never explained) and a woman takes up the hammer in his place. They play up the next few issues as this big mystery about who she is while she beats up people in the name of muh feminism, and at the end of it, you find out it's Jane Foster (Thor's old girlfriend), who's dying of cancer, which somehow makes her worthy of wielding Mjolnir.

Yes, it's completely retarded.

That's at least kind of amusing. To me at least, it reads as being jokey and not serious. Arguing about trivial details of language with Galactus is funny because it's so much not what is expected with a Big Serious Scary Villain.

You're missing the point. I can't read OP's mind but from what I gather is that he was implying classics or old literature had genuinity and a sense of integrity to them. They were real people writing from their proper, horrifying circumstances and this is far more human. Profit was not on their mind, teaching was and that flows through the material.

The reason for creation makes a huge difference actually. Maybe you're far too involved in modern pop culture to have exposed yourself to it, but the likes of a political novel by a modern US political versus say Machiavelli's The Prince is a fine example. One is mainly for reputation, profit and exposure while perhaps contributing the same thing which has been said a dozen times except in a more flowery way.

The other was done as a guide to teach those in politics how to properly run a country due to the terrible conditions of Machiavelli's conditions and there is a more human element to it.

Your assumption that I am talking about sophisticated and brilliant is sad. It is neither, it is simply a very entrenched and unclouded document or piece of text with a sense of urgency behind it. There is a marked difference between Stan Lee's creation of Spiderman vs say Sun Tzu's the Art of War. Or indeed the Iliad. They are not sophisticated or even intellectual, again something probably all too pervasive in your culture. They are things which have withstood the test of time for their honest, human element to them, without the need to dress it up in a fanciful, modern depiction or for the motive to get a quick or big buck.

You can still enjoy things which are simple and childish, that was never a question. If you are obsessed with pursuing sophistication for the right reasons, it would imply the exact opposite of insecure, but someone with a strong sense of character.

But considering your tone and the sound of the type of culture you were brought up in, I don't expect you to be able to relate easily.

You said:

The USA certainly has the most money invested in military, so probably the strongest country. A true claim, but one that I would argue isn't good criteria for judging the quality of a nation.

>expanded faster
Maybe true, depending how you define things. From European colonisation onwards it certainly grew economically very rapidly. But anyone that starts from nothing with access to slaves and then the industrial revolution will inevitably grow very rapidly. See how fast China has been growing over the past couple of decades, and that started from a much larger position so the percentages aren't going to be as impressive.

>cultural giant
This is just a cruel joke. Culturally powerful in the sense that capeshit and Fox News is spread out over the world. But imposing shit on the rest of the world is not cultural greatness.

In Kingdom Come, Batman rules Gotham by fear alone, and in Justice League, Batman rules Gotham through influence, and in smaller publishing circles, Batman isn't even a menace to society, he's just a myth, something to bet money on; but in Injustice, Batman is a kindhearted person who genuinely cares about the fears of normal human beings.

How Superman deals with in character crisis a lot. He has way way more development and building then batman has. He is a god amonest mortals who still bows down to the normal human man.

lol, what the fuck. Seriously. I'm not sure there is a point in responding to this overblown shit.

Being made purely for profit does not guarantee it will be bad, or shallow, or unauthentic in substance. The writers and illustrators are indeed employed and paid, but they are also able to work at different jobs if they wished to. And judging by the works, I'd say that some of them are indeed fine creative works in which the writers and illustrators put their own creative passions into on their own accord, but you wouldn't know this because you are talking about things you have only the faintest, shallowest clue of, like most whiners on 4chan have been since the launch of the website.

These comics are mostly about heroes vs. villains, heroes with superpowers (i.e. great individuals) facing scrutiny from the masses and having to deal with these things, and superpowers being based on modern cultural symbols and modern advances in science and technology. Some of it is just for fun, but it's all containing timeless values that stories have shared for eons, and to deny them this is just... well, you obviously have another motive here, or you're just very ignorant.

But it's just fucking superheroes and villains. They're entertainment. You going on comparing them to The Art of War to prove they are no good is just hilarious and nothing marks you as a tryhard better than this. I've wasted enough of my time in this thread.

The point isn't that Batman is better than him, it's that Batman recognises that Superman HAS to be better than everyone else. If he succumb to the same foils of lesser men then the world is simply worse for it.

Batman isn't the hero and he's not trying to be the hero, he's trying to stop the real hero from falling, and after Superman fell, he is trying to pick him back up.

Batman knows the world needs one Superman more than it will ever need a million Batmans, and so he's trying to give the world back the hero they need.

Your point was comics and superheroes had the same significance as old literature and classics. Then you go on to miss the point, again, and talk about the work and passion the people who put into the comic and then just say "its just superheroes and villains...they're entertainment".

Which pretty much concedes to the point the OP was trying to make. In a round about way you just contradicted yourself completely and just agreed to what OP and I were saying.

>>332988796
I know that, I'm just upset that Injustices Batman rules by fear, and suddenly carries himself like an aristocratic familiarity, like people know and love the Batman, they adore him, want to be friends with him. Bruce teaches the entire Justice League to rule by fear without any super powers and Kal-El teaches the team to rule by earning respect, they even each other out. In Injustice, Batman just wavers on the entire philosophy because Joker died, it's such opinionated and judgemental bias.

Unless I read it wrong, or out of context, that's saying directly that most literature, founded on any basis, is only around still because of its humane and relatable identity and not for the lessons it can teach us, or for the malleability of intellectualism provided.

That was meant to have "sophisticated and intellecual" rather than withou the ". Ran out of text and it turned out muddled but I meant in a mocking form where some people would decry classics which they would see as uppity as something "sophisticated and intellectual" in a mocking way and would then discount it.

Of course they are around for the lessons and intellectualism it could provide, that is also part of what makes them humane and gives them soul.

Superman isn't supposed to be the strongest being i the universe; he's supposed to represent the combined willpower of human integrity and spirit. Batman doesn't need those things because he's already mastered himself and his arts, so he's definitively better than Superman, by reason alone.

That doesn't suggest that Superman is bad, or a poorly written character, it's just two sides of the same coin and one side is more familiar than the other.

Capeshit characters have no value because literally whoever can impart whatever values they want on them.

You realize that all three of those iterations of Batman still stand for justice and protecting the innocent, right? They still have the same origins, the same motivations, just exist in different continuities. Same goes for Superman. Truth and Justice is still what he's known for. And even when he's in an Elseworlds story or "What If?" or whatever, it's fine. Different stories and views can provide new ways of thinking about a character. Do you think Arthurian legend had a perfectly immaculate canon for the entire time its existed? I mean, fuck me, how many different versions of the King Arthur story have we gotten over the centuries? How much of Greek myth was just fuckers winging it upon reading the older stories?

Superman is probably the most boring, kindred spirit in all of DC comics, If he didn't have his villains, he would be altogether a boring character. People usually out him for being a boy scout and a goodie two shoes, but all I see is a person confined by his own sense of morality and judgements brought on by the society he grew up in, that's all anyone sees when you get right down to it. That's why his villains are so good, that's why Darkseid and Doomsday are so good.

>those iterations of Batman still stand for justice and protecting the innocent, right?

Not necessarily. There are some Batman versions who are just crazy and get an erection from beating up criminals because he vicariously avenges his parents by beating on people. Some kill and some will never do it. Some are dark and brooding and some are bright and chipper.

>In capeshit literally one month from the next a character can change drastically because the other author wants to do something radically different
Not really, no. Characters can evolve and change over time, but complete 180s like you're talking about rarely happen, if ever.

And frankly, timespan is completely and utterly irrelevant to the discussion. King Arthur has been changed around plenty, and it doesn't matter if the story is centuries old or a couple decades, the point still stands.

Yes it does you stupid shit because the Arthurian tale is a product of it's time. Malory wrote Le Morte d'Arthur because of the times he lived in, after that it was a way of subtlety mocking whoever was in power at the time, then in the Victorian era there was a huge revival of Arthurian tales because of the morals of the day about being the perfect moral gentleman. That's a big fucking difference from Peter Parker being a good guy one issue then selling his soul to the devil for the most petty reasons imaginable and Superman going from whatever the fuck he was in the Post-Crisis times to whatever they tried to pull in Nu52 where he wore jeans and a t-shirt. Same with Batman never killing no matter what to Batfleck murdering tons of thugs just now in BvS,

Doctor Manhattan would wipe the floor with Superman, hes a far better written character.

I like Dr. Manhattan a lot. A lot.

He like, has aspergers, but he's moved far beyond it, but still has it. Coupled with the competition of godhood and being a man, he's just too good for our small world.

what the fuck

some of the most important characters in DC aren't even part of the league. Comissioner Gordon, Lois Lane, Darkseid and Orion are people who drive the entire course of the characters in the universe.

People always say DC is more powerful than Marvel, and even too overpowered to be interesting.

Is this actually true, or does it just seem that way when comparing the best known characters of the two companies?
