    Superman comes from a position of absurd privilege wherein he can do whatever he wants without risk to himself, and can put on a pair of glasses to become anonymous afterwards.

    Everyone else has occasionally consider a compromise between what they think is right and what is pragmatic or necessary.

    My personal compromise is that I wear my underwear on the outside, but I don't do any of the other stuff Superman does.

    My favorite scene in the MCU comes in Captain America - The Winter Soldier.

    Hydra's toughest badass is holding a gun on an unarmed technician, telling him to set off a weapon.

    The pencil necked nerd boy stands up to the killer.

    "Sorry, Captain's orders."

    That's the point of having heroes. They show us how we're supposed to behave.

    It doesn't matter if you're doing it because you were inspired by Superman, Harriet Tubman, or Toto the dog.

    Superman taught me that you have to be born powerful to change the world.

  • Superman is not superman because he's a Kryptonian with super powers. Superman is superman because he's an idealist and selflessly works his ass off every day to uphold those ideals in any way that he can. It just so happens that what he can do is superhuman. But we can all still contribute to an ideal like him. We can refuse to accept the world we have, the would we think we deserve, the world we think is realistic, but instead work toward an ideal world that we push for every day.

    Superman is not Hollywood IP. Superman is the creative product of two Jewish-American boys born to immigrant families who created an icon of human potential, of righteousness and justice and service to others, at a time when such Ubermensch ideas were being twisted and used by the Nazis in Germany to dehumanize people like Joe Shuster and Jerry Seigel. They made one of the most recognizable and beloved figures in the last century who remains relevant even now, more than 88 years after his first publication in Actions Comics #1. Hollywood has tried to co-op the character, sure, but it's hardly ever done right by him. But the character has never just been limited to a silver screen.
